How Much Water Do You Need?

A common recommendation is to drink about 30-35 ml per kg of body weight per day. However, your actual needs depend on several factors including physical activity, climate, and overall health.

Factors That Increase Water Needs

  • Exercise: You lose water through sweat. Add ~350 ml per 30 minutes of exercise
  • Hot climate: Heat and humidity increase perspiration and water loss
  • Altitude: Higher altitudes increase breathing rate and water loss
  • Illness: Fever, vomiting, and diarrhea increase fluid needs
  • Pregnancy/nursing: Additional fluids are needed

Tips for Staying Hydrated

1. Start your day with a glass of water
2. Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day
3. Drink a glass before each meal
4. Eat water-rich foods (cucumbers, watermelon, oranges)
5. Set reminders if you tend to forget
