Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rule of thumb for daily water intake?

A common guideline is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water daily. For example, a 160-pound individual should target about 80 ounces (approx. 2.4 liters) of water.

How much extra water should I drink when exercising?

It is recommended to add 12 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical exercise to replace fluids lost through sweat.

Can you drink too much water?

Yes. Drinking excessive amounts of water in a short time can lead to hyponatremia, where sodium levels in the blood drop. Drink water gradually throughout the day.
