Yes yes YES!! I always say this to my yoga students. Do not forget to listen to your body and give it a LOT of water!
7 Hydration Mistakes You’re Probably Making
Our bodies are made up of up to 60% water, and drinking enough throughout the day is essential for having glowing skin, maintaining a healthy weight, and flushing toxins out of the body. It even affects our mood and our ability to learn. But getting enough fluids is much more than simply drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
We at Bright Side believe keeping track of your water intake isn’t easy, but it also doesn’t have to be complicated. So we came up with a list of mistakes that might be keeping you from staying properly hydrated.
1. You’re drinking water after your workouts.
While it’s true that drinking water after going to the gym helps with hydration, it’s also important to drink enough before and during exercise. If you start your workout almost dehydrated, you will lose even more fluid while you’re training, and it may be dangerous for your mental and physical health. But you don’t have to stick to just water to restore your fluid balance. Coconut drinks, black and green tea, and even chocolate milk will hydrate you just as well as water.
2. You think coffee and tea don’t count.
3. You’re eating too little salt.
4. You’re drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
5. You’re drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning.
We lose body fluids during sleep, and even if we drink enough before going to bed, we’ll feel thirsty by the next morning. But drinking plain water on an empty stomach isn’t the most effective way to hydrate. It is easier for our bodies to absorb and retain water when there are other nutrients present. So if you’re trying to keep your fluid balance, drink your water with a snack or have a glass of orange juice or milk instead.
6. You’re skimping on water during your workouts.
7. You’re forgetting about water-rich foods.
Many fruits and vegetables count toward your total fluid intake. Some of them, like tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers are also rich in potassium that helps your body stay hydrated for longer.
Have you been making any of these mistakes? How much water do you drink a day?

hi
HeLlo
Lot or Not, but LISTENING to the calls of the body is key - drink when thirty, and drink only as much as the thirst.
I really must start drinking water.... maybe I'm the first person in the world who doesn't really like it ;p
oh you really should though. However I believe this article is very informative you can take a thing or two from it ;)
what do you mean? :/
I mean that you can stay hydrated by consuming other things than water, like tea (you most certainly will find a nice flavor ;) ) and also frutis
well I don't really like fruits though but yes I enjoy tea :)
there! You have it!
hahah cool 😎 😄
I'll still never drink coffee or tea as well as water. I've counted how much money would be saved this way. And voila - for the ones who drink a cup of coffee per day, in a year, if you suddenly quit this for 365 days, then you'll save $2,474.7 more than usual. And on the same rate for tea, you'll save 620.5 bucks more. Now imagine what you can buy with the total sum of $3,095.2.
In what way?
