Friendly reminder: drink some water. Most of us don’t drink enough. How to tell? If we aren’t going to the bathroom every hour or so, we’re not drinking enough. Also, if what comes out is not very pale and clear, we’re also not drinking enough.
Different sources will tell us different things about whether our morning coffee and all those other things we drink count toward our water total. I’m not going to weigh in on that particular issue except to suggest, strongly, that most of what we drink should be water. We don’t need the calories and/or chemicals in all those other things (OK: caffeine addiction is real and understandable, but eventually, we gotta clear that stuff out…).
If it is very hot or we are working out for more than a couple of hours, we might need to get some electrolytes as well as our water, but most people doing normal workouts do fine with water.
The best way to drink plenty of water is to carry it around all the time. Yeah, we look silly, but we feel better.
Go drink!
