Hydration timeline: when drinking matters as much as how much
Some times are more strategic than others for staying hydrated. A glass of water upon waking stimulates metabolism and helps eliminate waste accumulated overnight. Consumed 20 minutes before a meal, it gently prepares your digestive system. During the meal, moderate your intake to avoid disrupting digestion. And in the evening? It's best to reduce the amount to avoid waking up unnecessarily.

We often hear about the famous 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day. These figures are guidelines, as your actual needs depend on many factors: physical activity, diet, weather conditions… Rather than relying solely on quotas, learn to decipher your body's messages: dry lips, unexplained fatigue, a less radiant complexion… These are all signals that should not be ignored.
