Water Intake Guidelines

Water intake guidelines generally suggest that adults should aim for about 2 to 3 liters (or about 8 to 12 cups) of water per day. This can vary based on factors like age, weight, activity level, and climate. A good way to gauge hydration is to listen to your body: drink when you're thirsty and check the color of your urine; light yellow indicates proper hydration. Remember, other fluids and foods with high water content, like fruits and vegetables, also contribute to your daily intake. Maintaining proper hydration supports overall health and well-being.
