Exactly How Much Water Do You Need?Since childhood, we've been told to "Drink eight glasses of water a day," but when we're really busy, it almost seems like a job to stay hydrated. So how much water do you need and how do we make it easy, chic and not stressful when it comes to trying to stay hydrated?
This is your ultimate hack to hydration in conjunction with the Loch Ultimate Hydration Sipper (1200ML) to help you sip smarter and feel better every day.
The Value of Hydration
1. Upon waking, drink 300 – 500ml (if possible) of water for hydration and to kickstart your metabolism.
2. Use your smartphone to remind you: Schedule reminders or download an app to monitor water consumption, and keep track of your daily hydration.
3. Flavor your water: Squeeze or add slices of lemon or cucumber or fresh mint to a pitcher of water and leave it in the fridge overnight. It will taste fresher.
4. Put your water bottle in sight: You can also utilize visual reminders. For example, try placing your water in sight, whether on your desk, in your car, or in your gym bag.
So, How Much Water Should You Have?
Although the long-standing "8 glasses a day" recommendation isn't wrong, not everyone has the same hydration requirements. Each individual needs different amounts of hydration based on variation in age, weight, activity level, and climate. Here's a more precise guide to hydration.
General Recommendation: 2.7 liters for women and 3.7 liters for men per day -NCAS
By Body Weight: 30-35 ml/kg of body weight. ( For example, if you weigh 60 kg then your goal for the day is approximately 1.8-2.1 liters.)
Active lifestyle: If you live an active lifestyle with regular exercise or are living in a hot climate, you may want to then factor in an additional 500-1000 ml of hydration beyond your total water.
