Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink daily?

A general guideline is 35ml per kg of body weight. For a 70kg person, that's about 2.5 liters. Adjust for activity, climate, and health conditions.

Does coffee count toward water intake?

Yes! Despite caffeine's mild diuretic effect, coffee and tea still contribute to hydration. About 80-90% of the fluid counts toward your daily goal.

How do I know if I'm drinking enough water?

Check urine color - pale yellow means good hydration. Dark yellow indicates you need more water. Also watch for thirst, dry mouth, and fatigue.

Can you drink too much water?

Yes, though rare. Drinking excessive water (over 1 liter/hour) can cause hyponatremia (low blood sodium). Listen to your body and drink to thirst.

Do I need more water when exercising?

Absolutely! Add 500ml for every 30 minutes of moderate exercise. Hot weather and intense workouts require even more to replace sweat losses.
