If you’re already well hydrated and getting plenty of water, getting more water into your diet probably won’t make a lot of difference. But if you’re going through your days a little -- or a lot -- dehydrated, as many people are, getting enough water could help. I always get asked how much water a person should be drinking on a daily basis. A general rule is to drink 60-65% of your body weight as a minimum. For example, if you weigh 100 pounds then you should be consuming 60-65oz of water. Now there are many factors on the amount of water that a person should be consuming. If you exercise you should add 10-12oz per 30 minutes of exercise. If you are over weight you should add 8-10oz per 20 pounds of excess weight. If you live in a hot climate you will need to up your intake. If you don't drink enough water that is recommended you may want to increase your intake gradually or you may be spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Here's a little tool help get the right amount of water into your daily diet.
