The New Mexico Lawyer Assistance Program (NM LAP)
Did You Know?
Hydration isn't just about drinking water! In fact, 20% of your fluids come from water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and even soups. While we've all heard that we need eight glasses of water a day, the truth is that your hydration needs vary based on your body weight, physical activity, diet, and environment.
Did you also know it's possible to drink too much water? Overhydration can lead to a rare but serious condition called hyponatremia, where the body’s sodium levels drop dangerously low. It’s a reminder that balance is key to staying healthy! To find out what’s right for you, learn more here.
