Calculate your daily water intake based on weight, activity level, and climate.
💧 Start your day: Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up to kickstart your metabolism.
💧 Before meals: Drink water 30 minutes before eating to aid digestion and prevent overeating.
💧 During exercise: Drink 200-300 mL every 15-20 minutes during physical activity.
💧 Listen to your body: Thirst is a late signal of dehydration. Sip water consistently throughout the day.
💧 Track your intake: Use a marked water bottle to monitor how much you drink daily.
💧 Adjust for weather: In hot or humid conditions, increase your intake beyond the calculated baseline.

Yes, excessive water intake can lead to hyponatremia (low blood sodium). Stick close to your calculated recommendation and increase intake based on thirst, exercise, and heat exposure. If you have kidney or heart conditions, consult your doctor.
