Smart Hydration Tips
Sip Throughout the Day
Instead of chugging a lot at once, sipping regularly helps your body absorb water more efficiently.
Electrolytes Matter
Water alone isn't always enough. Adding a pinch of sea salt or lemon helps maintain mineral balance.
Eat Your Water
Foods like cucumber, watermelon, and strawberries are over 90% water and count toward your goals.
