That’s an overarching guideline, but every person is different. Do you know how much water your body actually needs to function at its best?
Your Action for Today
- Calculate your daily water intake: A general guideline is to drink at least half an ounce to an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should aim for 75 to 150 ounces of water daily.
- Adjust for activity level: If you're more active, drink more water to compensate for the fluids lost through sweating. Consider adding an extra 8 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise.
- Use a hydration calculator: Online hydration calculators can help you figure out your individual water needs based on factors like age, weight, gender, and activity level. Here’s a good one.
