that fine line...


How much water must we drink? Tough question, especially as today is a fast day. If we don't drink enough water, we can dehydrate or just feel awful and it will take longer to recover.

But...
if we drink too much water before fasting, we'll be up all night, "relieving ourselves" of what seems to be more than the "intake," and then...
we'll end up feeling even worse.

Any tricks to recommend?

They say that the natural juice in the avatiach has a long(er) lasting effect against dehydration.
So I always try to eat that before a fast.
