Is it true that the more you exercise the more you have to drink?

Yes, this is a common misconception. The body needs water for many essential functions, and dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms of dehydration. However, exercising regularly does not increase your need for fluids beyond what you would normally need in daily life. Drinking too much fluid before, during, or after exercise can dilute electrolytes and impair performance. It is important to listen to your body and recognize when you are thirsty and when you should hydrate.
