Hydration for Heartbeats

Water’s your heart’s unsung hero. The NHS says 8 cups (2L) daily keeps blood flowing smoothly, easing your ticker’s job. Dehydration thickens blood, spiking BP and strain—bad news post-heart event. Sip steadily—carry a bottle, flavor with lemon if plain’s dull. Exercise ups the need—add a cup per 30 minutes of sweat. Coffee counts a bit, but skip sugary drinks. Studies show good hydration cuts heart failure risk by 10%. Check your pee—pale yellow’s the goal. Your heart’s pumping happier with every gulp—stay wet, stay well!
