The Science of Optimal Hydration
How Much Water Do You Really Need?
The "8 glasses a day" rule is oversimplified. Your actual water needs depend on multiple factors:
- Body Weight: 30-35ml per kg of body weight as baseline
- Activity Level: Add 12-16oz per hour of exercise
- Climate: Hot/humid conditions increase needs by 16-24oz
- Health Status: Fever, illness, or medications may increase requirements
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Additional 10-13oz needed

Common Hydration Myths Debunked
Myth: "8 glasses a day for everyone"
Reality: Water needs vary greatly based on body size, activity, climate, and health status. Use personalized calculations instead.
Myth: "Clear urine means optimal hydration"
Reality: Completely clear urine may indicate overhydration. Pale yellow is the ideal color.
Myth: "You can't drink too much water"
Reality: Water intoxication (hyponatremia) is real and dangerous. Balance is key.
Myth: "Thirst is a good indicator"
Reality: By the time you feel thirsty, you're already mildly dehydrated. Proactive hydration is better.
