Forget the math. Forget the fancy app. Let’s talk about the toilet.
B Fit B Hydrated - The Braden Aboud Memorial Foundation
Your pee is a free hydration meter. If it’s pale yellow, like lemonade? You’re golden. If it’s dark like apple juice?
You need to drink up, stat. If it’s totally clear? Ease up, you show-off. You’re probably overdoing it.
See? Parenting yourself just got a lot easier. No spreadsheets required.
What About Thirst? Isn't That Enough?
Thirst is a solid guide. But it’s a late guide. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already a little bit dry.
Not a crisis. Not a trip to the ER. But it’s like driving with the gas light on. You’ll get there, but it’s not ideal.
So, the trick is to drink before you’re parched. Especially if you’re exercising or it’s hot out. Or if you just ate a bag of pretzels.
