The best advice is surprisingly simple: drink when you’re thirsty, and stop when you’re not. Science backs this up—most people’s thirst mechanism is spot-on. Overthinking it is like trying to force a plant to drink more water than it wants. It just doesn’t work.
So go ahead, fill your favorite cup, add a lemon slice if you’re feeling fancy, and take a sip. Your cells will high-five you. And if you forget? No biggie. Just grab some water and a cucumber snack. Your body is forgiving—it just prefers you stay a little less prune-like.
