Hacking Hydration: How Much Water Do You Really Need?
We’ve all heard it—“Drink 8 glasses of water a day.” But is that really the magic number? When it comes to hydration, the truth is: there’s no one-size-fits-all.
Your hydration needs depend on several factors: your body weight, activity level, climate, and even what you eat. A general rule of thumb? Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water each day. So if you weigh 150 lbs, that’s about 75 ounces of water daily. But add in a sweaty workout or hot day? You’ll need more.
And here's a hydration hack: It's not just about water. Staying hydrated also means replenishing electrolytes—especially if you're active or sweat a lot. That's where something like BERA Hydration Burst can make all the difference. With coconut water powder, magnesium, and potassium, it helps restore what your body loses through sweat—fast.
Signs you might not be drinking enough water?
-
Dry mouth or lips

Fatigue or brain fog
-
Headaches
-
Dark-colored urine
-
Cravings or false hunger
How to make hydration easy and effective:
✔ Start your day with a glass of water before coffee
✔ Carry a refillable bottle everywhere
✔ Add a slice of lemon or fruit for flavor
✔ Drink a glass before each meal
✔ Use hydration boosters like BERA Hydration Burst after workouts
The key? Consistency. Little sips throughout the day are more effective than chugging all at once. Your body—and your skin, energy, and mood—will thank you.
So… are you truly hydrated? Or just drinking when you remember?
