Did you know your body is about 60% water? That’s right! So, staying hydrated is key to feeling energized, focused and at your best every day. Just like you power up your devices, your body needs consistent hydration to keep going strong.
How much water is enough?
There are many factors that contribute to your daily fluid needs including gender, exercise intensity, environment and more. Daily water goals (from food and beverages combined) for healthy people are:
- Women: 9 cups
- Men: 13 cups
If your healthcare provider gives you specific hydration guidelines, always follow those instead.
