We often hear “drink 8 glasses of water a day,” but is that enough for everyone? The truth is, water needs differ for each person.
General Guidelines:
-
Adults should drink 2–3 litres (8–10 glasses) daily.
-
Children need around 1–1.5 litres depending on age.
-
Pregnant and breastfeeding women need more water.
-
Athletes and people working outdoors need extra hydration.
Factors That Change Water Needs:
-
Weather: Hot and humid conditions make us sweat more.
-
Health: Fever, diarrhea, or kidney issues increase water needs.
-
Activity: Exercise and physical work require higher fluid intake.
Conclusion: Listen to your body – thirst and urine color are good indicators. If urine is light yellow, you’re well hydrated.
