Hydration

How much water does the body need?

The optimal amount of water depends on several factors. Depending on how much water we lose each day, we also need to adjust our intake. Since we sweat more in summer than in winter, the amount of water should also be increased on hot days. It also requires more fluid if we exercise and do sports, for instance. Those who want to detoxify the body should also drink more water. But body weight also plays a role. As a rule of thumb, adults should normally drink at least 0.5-1 ounces of water per pound of body weight per day. In order not to forget to drink, you can use special apps or set alarms on your phone to remind you of it, so you’ll always be well hydrated.
