Daily Water Intake: How Much is Enough?

No single answer; depends on age, activity, climate, health. General guideline: eight 8-oz glasses (~2 liters) daily.

Adjustments

• More water: vigorous exercise, hot climate.
• Less water: kidney disease, other fluid-restricted conditions.

Hydration Tips

• Drink water first thing in morning.
• Carry water bottle.
• Sip throughout day.
• Add fruit/cucumber/mint for flavor.
• Choose herbal tea/coffee (no sugar) over soda/juice.
• Avoid sugary drinks (dehydrating).

Listen to thirst; consult doctor if unsure.
