Drink to thirst and let the color of your urine guide you: two liters is an average, not a prescription.
Micro-habits to get started
Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:
A glass of water on waking
Drink a glass of water as soon as you get up.
If you are over 65, drink on a schedule: thirst kicks in later with age.
1 minCheck the color
Check your urine color a couple of times a day: pale yellow is the right spot.
B-vitamin supplements turn it bright yellow and throw off the reading.
1 minEat your water
Start lunch and dinner with vegetables or a soup.
Between 20 and 30 % of your daily water comes from food, along with potassium and fiber.
