Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink daily?
A general guideline is 30–35ml per kg of body weight. For a 70kg person, that is 2.1–2.5 liters per day. Needs increase with exercise, heat, and altitude.
Does coffee count toward water intake?
Yes, moderate caffeine intake (up to 400mg/day) does count toward hydration. While caffeine is a mild diuretic, the water in coffee/tea offsets this effect.
What are signs of dehydration?
Signs include dark yellow urine, dry mouth, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and reduced urine output. Thirst is often a late indicator of dehydration.
Can I drink too much water?
Yes, excessive water intake (hyponatremia) can dilute blood sodium levels dangerously. This is rare but possible during extreme exercise. Drink to thirst and check urine color.
