How much Water should you Drink per day? | #aumsum

Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. But everyday, we lose some of this water through sweat, urine, etc. So, we need to replenish it.

Now, there is a popular 8 by 8 rule which says, everyday one should drink 8 glasses, each containing 8 ounces of water.

Whereas, the Institute of Medicine suggests that the total water intake including all beverages and food should be 2.7 liters for women and 3.7 liters for men.

However, no single formula fits everyone. But our amazing body itself tells us when we need water. For example, dark-yellow urine is usually a very good sign of dehydration. Exercise, climate and conditions like diarrhea, vomiting, etc. can lead to additional water loss. So, our body makes us feel more thirsty. This brings us to the conclusion that the water needs vary from person to person and situation to situation.
