Mid-morning	300–400 ml	Stay hydrated before lunch
After Lunch	400–500 ml	Avoid drinking too much immediately during meal
Mid-afternoon	300–400 ml	Especially important in hot weather

🚽 Expected Urination Chart

Time	Frequency	Color (Healthy)	Notes
Morning	1 time	Pale yellow	After waking
Mid-morning	1 time	Pale yellow	Indicates good hydration
Afternoon	1–2 times	Pale yellow	Frequency may rise in hot weather
Evening	1–2 times	Pale yellow	Healthy frequency
Night (before bed)	1 time	Pale yellow	Optional, not too much to avoid disturbing sleep
Midnight	0–1 time	Light yellow	May occur occasionally, avoid over-drinking at night

🔍 Notes:

• During summer, increase water slightly (~3.2L/day).

• During Ramadan, adjust intake to non-fasting hours.

• Urine should be light yellow; dark = dehydration, clear = overhydration.

• Include fluids from fruits (like watermelon), soup, etc.

A Healthy And Balanced Pattern

Intake:

• Water every 2–3 hours: 250–400 ml

Output:

• Urination every 3–4 hours: 150–300 ml per void

This suggests:

• Good hydration

• Normal bladder function

• No signs of overactive bladder

There's no concern if you're staying in this range without urgency or discomfort.

To Avoid Frequent Urination, Follow This

Here's a simple hydration schedule (4×500 ml) to reduce frequent urination while staying well-hydrated:

💧 Water Intake & 🕓 Urination Timing

• 6:30 AM (500 ml) → 8:00–8:30 AM

• 10:30 AM (500 ml) → 12:00–12:30 PM

• 2:30 PM (500 ml) → 4:00–4:30 PM

• 6:30 PM (500 ml) → 8:00–8:30 PM

Notes:

• These times may vary slightly based on your activity, metabolism, and bladder sensitivity.

• Try to delay urination slightly if the urge comes too early (to train your bladder).

For better digestion and reduced bloating, follow this

✅ Ideal Water Timing:

• Before meals: Yes — 20–30 minutes before (helps digestion and controls appetite).
• During meals: Small sips only if needed (don’t drink large amounts).
• After meals: Wait 30–60 minutes before drinking larger amounts.

Why:

• Drinking too much during meals can dilute stomach acid, slowing digestion.
• Drinking before helps prepare the digestive system.

So, best is before and after meals, not much during.
