It’s not just plain water.

Tea, coffee and milk contribute fluid too, and food supplies some water. Water is a simple everyday choice. The NHS recommends drinking regularly through the day and choosing lower-sugar options.

A guide, not a magic number.

Your needs can change with hot weather, prolonged activity, pregnancy, breastfeeding or illness. A fixed number of glasses is a guide, not a promise that every person needs the same amount.

If you have a prescribed fluid limit, follow your healthcare professional’s advice.

Give the next sip a place.

Choose a moment that already happens in your day: sitting down at your desk, taking a break, or having a meal. Use that as your cue to check whether you’d like a drink.

In PooDoo, water tracking and adjustable reminders are designed to make those small check-ins easier. You bring the routine. Your buddy brings the nudge.
