doctor tells you otherwise drink when you're thirsty if you are outdoors in hot temperatures or exercising because they're drinking a little bit more the trick is to look at your urine if it's a light yellow color like lemonade that means you're drinking enough if it's any darker than that consider drinking a bit more hello my name is rohin I'm a consultant Interventional cardiologist from the UK every adult should know their blood pressure and their resting heart rate I'm not saying you should check it obsessively but I think they can be really useful sources of encouragement
