Conditions affecting water needs

The recommended daily water needs vary from person to person and depend on a few factors including: Activity level: If you are exercising or partaking in any activity that makes you sweat, you must drink extra water to replenish the fluid loss. Make sure you’re drinking water before, during and after your workouts. Also, sports drinks can be a great way to replace electrolytes after moderate to high-intensity exercises. Environment: Where you live, or travel, can make a big difference too. Hot or cold weather and high altitudes can all affect your body and lead to dehydration if you aren’t drinking enough water. Overall health: Most healthy individuals, can easily stay hydrated by drinking water when they feel thirsty. For others, that may not be enough due to an illness or health condition that may require more or less fluid intake based on their specific needs.
