Participants in this group will receive a structured training program with the aim of increasing daily water consumption and reducing symptoms of dehydration. The program is based on the principles of the Health Belief Model and includes the following components: Initial and mid-Program training: Will be conducted by a trained health educator, each lasting 60 minutes. Two weeks after the first training, the same training will be given again for reinforcement purposes. Session Content: Covers the importance of hydration, strategies to increase water intake (using reminders, setting goals, integrating water-rich foods), and the health benefits of adequate hydration (e.g., improved cognitive function, better physical health). Training Materials: Booklet prepared for training. Behavioral Strategies: Practical tips for overcoming barriers to drinking more water, such as setting daily water intake goals and using diaries to track progress.
