Don’t forget to hydrate!

While you’re out and about this summer, don’t forget to hydrate!

How much water do we need?

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine recommends that an adequate daily fluid intake is about 15.5 cups (125 oz) for men and about 11.5 cups (91 oz) for women.

However, not all of our daily fluids need to be met with water alone. Water, other beverages, and the water in the foods we eat can help us meet the daily fluid recommendation.

Fluid needs can be higher for those people that are highly active, live in a warm and/or dry climate, are ill with fever, infection, vomiting and/or diarrhea, or are overweight or obese.

How much is enough?

Use the urine test to determine if you are getting enough fluids. If your urine is clear or pale yellow, you likely are getting enough fluids. If your urine is a bright or dark yellow or has a strong odor, you likely need additional fluids.
