- Rather than worrying about complying to a specific rule, a better solution is to follow this practice:
- Drink to thirst.
- Remember that thirst is a sign of dehydration, so you shouldn’t be experiencing it!
- Check your weight at the beginning and end of the day.
- A body weight loss of 2{e6c4e4d09cbfcb70eba5dc435d44d7cb2d0e378527800a29222f16d6eea92ea1} or more can indicate dehydration. Be sure you adequately replace your fluids!
After self-monitoring your thirst and weight for a few days, you will have a good idea of your personal hydration needs!
Maintain this level of needed intake for yourself!
Be sure to consult your physician if you have any questions on your personal hydration needs.
