Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink each day?

A common starting point is about half your body weight in ounces each day, then adjusting upward for exercise, heat, humidity, or pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your exact needs can vary with diet, medications, and health conditions.

Does coffee or tea count toward hydration?

Usually yes. Coffee, tea, milk, sparkling water, and other nonalcoholic drinks can contribute to your total fluid intake. Plain water is still a great default because it hydrates without added sugar or calories.

What are signs that I may need more water?

Dark urine, dry mouth, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and poor workout performance are common signs that you may be underhydrated. Very pale urine all day can mean you are drinking more than you need.

Should I drink more water when exercising?

Yes. Sweating increases fluid losses, so workouts and physically demanding jobs usually call for more water than a sedentary day. Long or intense sessions may also require electrolytes in addition to fluids.
