Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I'm drinking enough water?
Check your urine color - it should be pale yellow. Dark yellow or amber urine indicates dehydration. Also, if you're rarely thirsty and urinate regularly throughout the day, you're likely well-hydrated.
Can I drink too much water?
Yes, though rare, water intoxication (hyponatremia) can occur from drinking excessive amounts of water in a short time. Stick to your calculated daily intake spread throughout the day, and listen to your body's signals.
Do other beverages count toward my daily water intake?
While other beverages do contribute to hydration, water is the best choice. Caffeinated drinks can have a mild diuretic effect, and sugary drinks add unnecessary calories. Aim for water as your primary source of hydration.
