ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH LIQUID?

Monitor these three variables for a few days (always do so first thing in the morning) to find out. A positive result on two of them suggests that your fluid intake is inadequate – and if you get a yes for all three, it’s highly likely you’re low on liquid.

WEIGHT

More than 1% weight loss is a red flag.

URINE

Dark pee suggests inadequate fluid.

THIRST

A conscious desire for water.
