Here’s the simplest trick: slow down. Take small, frequent sips throughout the day rather than downing a liter in one go. Your small intestine can only absorb about 8 ounces of water per hour—so pace yourself, friend.
And here’s a fun twist: cold water is absorbed slightly faster than warm water. Why? Because your body works to warm it up, which actually stimulates the digestion process. So grab a chilled bottle, sip small, and feel smug about your hydration IQ.
