Hydration

Like many people, you may wonder how much water you should be drinking on a daily basis.

The calculation for the amount of water you should drink each day is based on your body weight. For every two (2) pounds you weigh, you should be drinking one (1) ounce of water per day.

For example, someone weighing 200 lbs should drink 100 oz of water each day and someone who weights 130 lbs should be drinking 65 oz of water every day.

This calculation is also a great measuring tool for kids! As a rule, you should increase the amount of water you drink if:

  • the weather is hot
  • you are exercising
  • you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea
  • you are trying to lose weight
