Keep well
1. Upon awakening
Incorporating a glass of water into your morning routine is a beneficial practice that can bring numerous benefits. During the night, while you sleep, your body continues to function and use water, resulting in dehydration in the morning. By consuming water upon waking, you can rehydrate your body, jump-start your metabolism, and kick-start essential bodily functions. Additionally, drinking water first thing in the morning can help flush out toxins that have built up overnight. This can help improve digestion, improve skin complexion, and an overall sense of increased well-being.
2. Before meals

3. Around training times
Engaging in regular exercise is not only beneficial to overall health but also leads to an increased need for water due to increased metabolic activity and fluid loss through sweat. It is vital to ensure proper hydration before starting a workout to maintain optimal performance levels. This practice helps regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated and prevent fatigue.
Equally important is post-workout hydration, as water helps replenish fluids lost through sweating and supports the recovery process. It is worth noting that the amount of water needed before and after a workout can vary depending on factors such as exercise intensity, environmental conditions and individual fitness levels.
4. Before sleep
While it may not be suitable for everyone, as people with nocturia may need to urinate frequently during the night, consuming a glass of water before bed can be helpful in combating nighttime dehydration. Dehydration can interfere with sleep and leave you feeling unrested when you wake up. By hydrating before bed, you can help ensure your body has enough water to perform its vital functions while you sleep.
5. Listen to the body
While the guidelines mentioned are helpful, it’s important to recognize that everyone’s water needs can vary based on factors such as body size, activity level, and environment. Therefore, one of the most reliable indicators of when to drink water is thirst. The human body has a sophisticated mechanism for maintaining water balance and will send signals when it needs hydration. Listening to your body’s thirst signals and drinking water when you’re thirsty is a reliable way to ensure adequate hydration.
