Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does coffee and tea count towards water intake?
A: Partially. While they do contribute to hydration, caffeine has a mild diuretic effect. Count caffeinated beverages at about 80% of their volume towards your water intake.
Q: Is it possible to drink too much water?
A: Yes, though rare. Overhydration (hyponatremia) can be dangerous. Unless you're an endurance athlete, drinking more than 4-5 litres per day without medical supervision is excessive.
Q: Should I drink water before or after meals?
A: Drinking water 30 minutes before meals can aid digestion and help with portion control. Drinking large amounts during meals may dilute digestive enzymes — sip slowly instead.
Q: Why do I still feel thirsty even after drinking water?
A: Excessive thirst can be a sign of diabetes, dehydration from heat, or other conditions. If persistent, consult a doctor.
💡 Pro Tip: Don't wait until you feel thirsty — thirst is already a sign of mild dehydration. Keep a 1-litre water bottle on your desk and aim to refill it at least twice during your workday.
