First, you need to drink water regularly throughout the day. Drinking 8 glasses in the morning and thinking you’re “golden” for the day is actually dangerous.

You should, in fact, hydrate every single hour. (On the next page we’ll give you a free tool to help you remember to do just that – and a lot more.)

Many people who simply take up the habit of drinking a glass (or even half a glass – more about that in a minute) every hour notice their energy levels skyrocket.

Why?

Because most of us are chronically dehydrated.

If you don’t think you are, try what I’m advising here for 48 hours and see what happens.

Again, this is a statistically valid “safe bet.”

Another safe bet: your tired all the time and you can’t figure out why.

Dehydration making you tired?

You bet.

Dizziness

Chronic fatigue

Impotence

Hair loss

Headaches

Low back pain

Constipation

And more …

Dehydration has been shown quite clearly to be linked to all of these. (Merck Manual of Health)

OK, so you want to fix this …

What next?

Before you start gulping down, you need to know that “how much” depends on a lot of factors.

It depends on your body size, how much you exercise, the climate in which you live, and more …

Obviously if you live in a hot climate where you’re sweating all the time (a lot of the sweat is invisible – you don’t have to be dripping to be rapidly losing water all day long), you need more – a lot more.

If you exercise even mildly – same thing.

But there’s something important here.

You may think drinking more water by itself is enough, but if you drink too much you can actually “overdose” on water.

It sounds crazy, but there was even a widely publicized case where people were “holding their wee for Nintendo Wii” for a radio contest.
