Question: How
much water do I
need each day?
Answer: Water is
extremely impor-
tant to the human
body. Water acts
as a solvent to
help breakdown
nutrients, it helps
to maintain body temperature,
and acts as a cushion to help
absorb pressure around joints
and other parts of the body, in
essence, water helps deliver nu-
trients to the cells in the body
and remove wastes from the
body.
So, how much water do we
need on a daily basis? Gen-
eral recommendations set by
the Institute of Medicine of the
National Academies of Science
advise adult women to drink
about 10 cups of total water
from all beverages and food
and 16 cups for men. Accord-
ing to the American Dietetic
Association, about 80 percent
of American's daily water intake
comes from drinking water,
other beverages (even caffein-
ated), and the other 20 percent
comes from water in food.
Some reasons to consider in-
creasing your daily fluid intake
include:
• Hot or humid climates. These
conditions cause the body to
sweat and loose water.
• Before, during
and after exercise.
The Mayo Clinic
suggests 1 V2 to 2
Vz cups of water in
addition to your
daily-recommend-
ed intake for short
bouts of exercise.
A short bout of
exercise is low in-
tensity exercise lasting 30 min-
utes or less. Longer and more
strenuous exercises may require
sports drinks that supply water,
sodium, and potassium. This is
highly dependent on the type
of exercise and the duration.
• During illness. When you
have a fever, vomiting and/or
diarrhea. Because of the in-
creased water loss due to these
conditions, it is prudent to in-
crease fluid intake in an effort
to ward off dehydration, which
can add complications to the
illness.
• Woman who are pregnant or
nursing. The Institute of Medi-
cine suggests pregnant women
drink about 10 cups of fluid dai-
ly and women who are nursing
to drink 13 cups of fluid daily.
When your fluid needs are
met you feel better. So, enjoy
a refreshing glass of water to-
day and give your body what it
needs.
