How Much Water Should I Drink?

How much water do I drink? This is a question that many people have asked at some time in their lives. There is no single answer to this question because every individual is different and they have various needs. The amount of water that an individual should drink varies on several factors including their weight, making sense since the more weight an individual has the less water they should drink.

An individual’s activity level can also play a role in determining how much water that they should be consuming. The amount of time that they spend exercising will affect how much water they should be drinking. A two hundred pound person needs to be drinking at least sixty ounces of water each day in order to remain properly hydrated. Those who are heavier may need more or even needing eight or more ounces of fluid per day. Obviously, those who are very active will experience much more dehydration than others.

The calories that are consumed also play a big factor in determining how much water an individual should be drinking daily. Starving yourself can lead to dehydration and a lower intake of fluids. In order to stay properly hydrated, you should strive to eat a well balanced diet that contains plenty of fruits and vegetables along with a good amount of fluids. You should also try to limit your intake of red meat and foods that contain a lot of salt.

If you are looking for a way to figure out how much water an individual should be drinking each day, one way to do so is by using the star_rating system. This system uses the value of your body mass index (BMI) as well as the number of glasses of “flowing” liquid you drink each day in order to determine the number of flushes you should be getting per day. The more volume of liquid you consume throughout the day, the fewer toxins you are allowing into your body.

If you are someone who is thirsty and dehydrated, you probably need more liquids. Starvation can cause the body to become dehydrated due to a drop in body temperature and in extreme cases, brain dysfunction can occur as well. By using the star_rating system, you can determine how much water you should be consuming and when you should be drinking it. Once you find the level of dehydration that you are at, you can then either increase the amount of liquids or decrease them in proportionate amounts.

Those who are in relatively good health and have plenty of fluids in their system can typically drink two cups of “flowing” liquid per day, every day. Those who are more active or are often dehydrated should limit their consumption of the liquid in order to reduce the effects of dehydration. Those who are not active but are thirsty may only drink two ounces of “flowing” fluid per day in order to prevent the effects of loss of potassium from exercising. Those people who are not active and are still thirsty may simply drink one to two ounces of “flowing” liquid per day for thirst relief and to maintain a normal body temperature. For those with kidney problems, kidney stones, an enlarged spleen, and other issues, two to four ounces of liquid per day may be especially important.
