How we calculate your water needs

  • Baseline: 35 ml per kg of body weight
  • Exercise: +350 ml for every 30 minutes of activity
  • Hot or humid climate: +500 ml per day

These are general guidelines for healthy adults. Needs vary with age, health conditions, pregnancy and breastfeeding — pale yellow urine is a simple sign you're well hydrated.

Easy ways to drink more water

  • Drink a glass when you wake up and with every meal.
  • Keep a refillable bottle on your desk or in your bag.
  • Add lemon, cucumber or mint if you find plain water boring.
  • Log each glass in a water tracker so you can see your progress.

Frequently asked questions

How much water should I drink a day?

A common guideline is about 35 ml of water per kg of body weight (roughly 0.5 oz per lb), plus extra when you exercise or it's hot. For a 70 kg adult that is around 2.5 litres per day from drinks.

Does drinking water help with weight loss?

Water has zero calories, can replace sugary drinks, and drinking a glass before meals may help you feel fuller. Staying hydrated also supports energy for exercise.

Do coffee and tea count towards water intake?

Yes. Despite mild diuretic effects, coffee and tea still contribute to your daily fluid intake. Water-rich foods like fruit, vegetables and soup count too.

Can you drink too much water?

Yes, though it is rare. Drinking very large amounts in a short time can lower blood sodium (hyponatremia). Spread your intake through the day and let thirst guide you.
