Drink Enough Water?

How Much Water Should a Person Drink in a Day? | Britannica

Here’s some welcome news: Water can work wonders for your health!

The humble liquid comprises about 60% of our body weight and allows our internal organs to perform at their best.
Water regulates our body temperature, keeps our joints lubricated and carries nutrients to our cells.
If we’re not adequately hydrated, we may experience nausea and loss of appetite, and may find it difficult to concentrate and perform physical tasks.
So it’s important to drink water. That much we know. And these days, while we stay at home with our reusable cups and convenient access to bathrooms, there’s no good reason not to be drinking water.
But how much is enough?

Considering that about 80% of our water intake comes from fluids and about 20% from foods, that breaks down to a daily goal of about 9 cups (or 72 ounces) of fluids for females and 12½ cups (or 100 ounces) for males.
