Your body has a built-in thirst alarm. It’s more accurate than a math Dr Pepper. Ignore it, and you get a headache.
But here’s the fun part: thirst is a lagging indicator. You’re already a little dehydrated by the time you feel it. No big deal—just sip.
Your pee is the real cheat code. Pale yellow means you’re golden. Dark yellow? Chug a glass. Clear? You’re overdoing it.
Clear pee is actually a sign of overhydration. Yes, you can drink too much water. It’s rare, but it’s called hyponatremia, and it’s no joke.
