    The taste of hydration!

    Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years. But your individual water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.

    No single formula fits everyone. But knowing more about your body’s need for fluids will help you estimate how much water to drink each day.

    So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:

    • About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
    • About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women

    These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.

          Metric cup is 250ml. Why are you mixing metric(liter) and non metric units
