How Much Water Do You Need?

While some experts declare that we should all drink eight glasses of water per day, there are factors that will impact on how much water our bodies actually need. Someone who lives in a very hot, dry climate will certainly need more water than an Eskimo in mid-winter. Even heat and humidity - rather than dryness - can accelerate water loss from the body as humidity makes us perspire.

You might think that during winter you won't need as much water, but indoor heating takes moisture from the air and this causes your skin to lose moisture. Live on a mountaintop? Any altitude over 2,500 metres causes more frequent urination and rapid breathing that uses up your moisture reserves.

We all know that exercise causes the body to lose water, especially intense exercise. Drinks containing sodium are best, since drinking lots of water all at once can cause a severe sodium loss, which causes life-threatening hyponatremia. Spring or mineral water has varying levels of sodium according to its manufacturer, so read nutritional information on the bottle carefully.

Fevers, vomiting and diarrhoea and some kidney and urinary tract infections require lots of water to aid in their healing. Some other kidney or liver diseases require a limit on the amount of water taken.

Women who are breastfeeding need to drink quite a bit of extra water. Ten cups per day would not be too much. Pregnant women also need extra fluid. Drinking bottled water helps you to keep track of exactly how much you're drinking each day.
