Water is the basis of life. The human body is made up of more than 60% water, and with the heat in Saudi Arabia, drinking enough water becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. In this article, we provide you with simple tips to make drinking water a daily habit.
How much water does your body need?
The need varies depending on weight, climate, and activity level. The general principle:
- Men: about 3.7 liters per day (from drinking and food)
- Women: about 2.7 liters per day
- In hot weather: increase the amount—especially in the Saudi summer
- During exercise: an extra cup every 15 minutes
5 tips to drink more water
- Morning cup: Put a glass of water next to your bed and drink it first thing when you wake up—it activates blood circulation.
- Refreshing flavor: Add lemon, mint, or cucumber—it makes the taste better.
- Graduated bottle: A bottle with hourly markers encourages you to track how much you’ve drunk.
- Phone reminder: Set an alarm every hour or use the Water Reminder app.
- Pair it with coffee: Drink a glass of water with every coffee—you’ll get a good amount.
Benefits of drinking enough water
- 🌿 Radiant skin: Water hydrates the skin and reduces dryness

Make sure to have a water bottle with you everywhere—car, office, and home. Your health starts with a simple habit. 💧
