๐ง Eight glasses of water a day. We've all heard it, but is it actually the rule?
Not quite.
Your daily hydration includes water from both beverages and food. In fact, around 20% of daily hydration comes from the foods you eat, particularly fruits, vegetables, and other water-rich foods.
And there's no magic number that's right for everyone. Your needs can change depending on factors including activity, climate, age, medications, and health conditions.
So rather than obsessing over a number, think about hydration as part of the bigger picture.
