Just how much water do you
really need each day?
- Water needs vary on an individual basis. Your need can
- change based on:
- Your own body weight
- The environment
- Your physical exertion
- Some medications
- There are lots of popular “guidelines” for water consumption. However, because YOUR need is personal, these “guidelines” may leave you either
- still dehydrated, or
- cause you to consume too much water
Both scenarios can have dangerous health consequences.
