How much water (fluids) should a healthy adult man and women drink?

ChatGPT Says...

AI Overview...

According to Harvard Health and the Mayo Clinic, healthy adult men should drink around 15.5 cups (~1 Gallon) of fluids per day, and healthy adult women should drink about 11.5 cups; (~3/4 of a Gallon) including water. However, your exact needs may vary depending on a number of factors, including:

  • Weather
    Hot weather can cause you to sweat more, so you may need to drink more fluids. Higher altitudes can also lead to dehydration.
  • Activity
    If you exercise regularly, the American Council on Exercise recommends drinking 17–20 ounces of water 2–3 hours before exercising, and an additional 8 ounces before and after. You may need to drink even more if you exercise for longer than an hour.
  • Body composition
    Your weight can also affect how much water you need. For example, someone who weighs 100 pounds may need 67 ounces of water per day, while someone who weighs 250 pounds may need 168 ounces.
  • Other factors
    Other factors that can affect your water needs include your age, diet, metabolism, and health.
