Hydration 101: What to Drink, When to Drink, and How Much You Really Need | The Func Lab

Let’s break down hydration the right way. At The Func Lab, we know it’s not just about how much water you drink, but how you hydrate throughout the day.

General guidelines suggest 3-4 liters of water per day for active individuals, but that's just a baseline. Here’s what your hydration schedule might look like:

  • Morning: Start your day with 300–500ml of warm water + lemon + a pinch of salt to rehydrate after sleep.
  • Pre-workout: Sip 300ml of water with a bit of salt or an electrolyte mix.
  • During training: Drink continuously if it's hot or you’re sweating.
  • Post-training: Replenish fluids and electrolytes with coconut water, lemon water, or an electrolyte tab.
  • Throughout the day: Hydrate consistently — don’t wait for thirst!

Pro tip: Don’t forget hydrating foods too! Cucumber, watermelon, oranges, and spinach are packed with water.

Func Tip: Start your morning with lemon salt water — it's a simple yet powerful way to kickstart your day.
