Water, made simple

Healthy Hydration

Hydration doesn't need an app, a coach or a calculator. It needs a bottle within reach and a habit worth keeping.

How much water, honestly?

Most adults do well on around 1.5 to 2 litres a day, more when it's warm or you're active. Coffee counts. Tea counts. Soup counts. The number matters less than the pattern — a small drink often is easier than a big drink rarely.

Small habits that add up

Start with a glass

Drink a glass of water before your first coffee. It sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Keep water in sight

A bottle on the desk gets drunk. A bottle in the cupboard doesn't. Design beats willpower.

Drink to a rhythm

Between meetings, after a walk, before bed. Attach hydration to things you already do.

When water matters more

Warm weather, exercise, travel, illness and pregnancy all raise how much fluid your body needs. On those days, don't wait to feel thirsty — thirst is a late signal. Sip a little more, a little sooner, and you'll feel the difference.
