Calculate your daily water intake based on your personal information.
Hydration and health relationship
Water is one of your body's most important needs and is vital for all body functions. Your daily water needs vary based on your weight, activity level, climate conditions, and overall health status. The basic formula is to drink 30-40 ml of water for every kilogram of your body weight. However, if you exercise, live in a hot climate, or are a pregnant/nursing mother, this amount can increase significantly. Adequate water intake is critical for many functions including digestion, blood circulation, body temperature regulation, toxin elimination, and skin health. Dehydration can lead to headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and serious health problems. It's important to drink water before you feel thirsty because thirst is a sign that your body is already dehydrated. Your urine should be light yellow; dark color is an indicator of dehydration.
