How often should you drink water?

Drink water every day, spread over the day. UZ Leuven says about 1.5 litres a day, roughly 6 large glasses.

A filled bottle in a visible spot works as a reminder. Link a glass to fixed moments, such as every meal. This is a general public guideline, not personal medical advice.

1. Put a filled water bottle in a visible spot
2. Drink a glass at every fixed moment (e.g. at every meal)
3. Refill the bottle when it’s empty
4. Keep to a pace that feels comfortable

About 1 minute.
