Calculate daily water intake needs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink per day?

A general guideline is 35ml per kg of body weight, but needs vary based on activity level, climate, and individual factors. Active people and those in hot climates need more. The calculator adjusts for these variables.

Does coffee count towards daily water intake?

Yes, moderate coffee and tea consumption contributes to hydration despite mild diuretic effects. The net effect is still positive for hydration. However, water remains the best choice for optimal hydration.

What are signs of dehydration?

Early signs include thirst, dark yellow urine, dry mouth, and reduced urination. Advanced symptoms include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and confusion. Monitor urine color—pale yellow indicates good hydration.

Should I drink more water when exercising?

Yes, drink 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes during exercise. Before exercise, consume 500ml 2 hours prior. After exercise, replenish with 500-700ml per pound of body weight lost during activity.

Can you drink too much water?

Yes, overhydration (hyponatremia) can occur but is rare in normal circumstances. It's mainly a concern during extreme endurance events. Most healthy people naturally regulate intake. Stick to recommended amounts unless medically advised otherwise.
