Tips

1

Why body weight × 35mL? 35mL per kg of body weight is a medically recommended general guideline for adult basic water requirements.

2

How does water intake vary by age? Infants need more water per kg of body weight than adults. Elderly people may have reduced thirst sensation, so careful monitoring is important.

3

What are the signs of dehydration? Common signs include dry mouth, dark urine, fatigue, dizziness, and decreased urine output. Severe cases can lead to serious health issues.

4

How much water should I drink during exercise? During moderate exercise, add about 500-1000mL depending on duration and intensity. For long or intense sessions, include electrolyte drinks to replace salts lost by sweating.

5

Is there a difference between drinking water and other beverages? While tea and coffee count as water intake, caffeine has diuretic effects. Water and barley tea are generally more effective for hydration.
