There are so many factors used to determine it. These can include your health, where you live, or how active you are. Knowing about your body’s fluid needs will help you get a good estimate of how much you need. We lose water from our bodies by sweating, urinating, and breathing.
You must replenish this loss with drinking water and eating foods that are high in water content, such as melons and tomatoes. The average, healthy man should drink about 13 cups of water a day, and a healthy woman about 9 cups a day. There is an “8X8” rule: 8 glasses of 8 ounce fluid a day.
Women who are breast-feeding or pregnant should drink more water. If you exercise, you must drink enough water to make up for the loss that you experience when you sweat and such. Living in an area that is high in humidity also causes you to sweat, meaning that you will require a higher water intake.
Those who have been ill, including vomiting, fever, or diarrhea should also drink more fluids. We need to keep enough water in our bodies because most of our organs require water to function. This includes flushing of toxins, carrying nutrients to the cells, and giving your ears, nose, and threat tissues a moist environment.
Low water levels lead to dehydration which an drain your energy, making you tired, or causing a headache. Keep adequately hydrated and live a great and healthy life!
