Your body depends on water to survive as all the body functions need water to work efficiently. Our bodies are made up of an average of 60% of water. If you don’t have much water intake you will feel fatigued, you’ll see that your strength is decreasing, you will not be motivated to do anything, you will have headaches, etc.

If you’re someone who needs flavor, shop for sugar-free packets or add in some lemon or lime. It’s definitely a game-changer. There’s no set time when to drink water.
