Water is necessary for life. We lose water constantly, through physical exertion, certain medications, illness, breathing through our mouths, diarrhea, vomiting, and bleeding."Thirst should never be an indicator of when or how much to drink. Being thirsty is a sign that you're already a quart to a quart and a half low. To make matter worse, somewhere down the line in dehydrationville, the thirst mechanism stops working altogether.
The best way to tell if you're maximally hydrated is the color of our urine. It should be as clear as the water you drink, with no color whatsoever."
