Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink per day?

A common formula is 35ml per kg of body weight. For a 70kg person, that's 2.45 litres/day. Activity, climate, and health conditions increase this. The popular '8 glasses a day' rule is an approximation — actual needs vary.

Does tea and coffee count as water intake?

Yes and no. Water from tea, coffee, and other beverages counts toward hydration, but caffeine has a mild diuretic effect. Plain water is the best source. Fruits and vegetables also contribute to hydration.

What are signs of dehydration?

Early signs: dark yellow urine, thirst, fatigue, dry mouth. Moderate: headache, dizziness, reduced output. Aim for pale yellow urine as a sign of good hydration. In India's summer, increase intake significantly.
