Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should I drink per day?
The general recommendation is about 8 glasses (64 ounces) per day, but this varies based on body weight, activity level, climate, and individual needs. Use our calculator for a more personalized recommendation.
Can I drink too much water?
Yes, overhydration (hyponatremia) can occur, though it's rare. This happens when you drink so much water that sodium levels in your blood become dangerously low. Stick to the recommended amount and listen to your body.
Does coffee or tea count toward water intake?
While water is the best choice, caffeinated beverages do contribute to hydration. However, water should remain your primary source of fluids. Avoid excessive caffeine intake.
How much more water do I need when exercising?
During exercise, aim to drink 7-10 ounces of water every 10-20 minutes. For workouts lasting over an hour, consider electrolyte drinks to replace lost salts along with water.
