The formula helps you know how much water you need to drink each day

The person told me to drink 8 cups of water, the person said to drink 2 liters of water. In fact, how much water do we drink every day?

The answer is that the amount of water to load into the body is different between each individual. Here is a simple formula that helps you calculate the amount of water you should drink daily.

Step 1: Check your weight

This formula calculates the amount of water you load in proportion to your weight. This is understandable because it is impossible for a person weighing 45kg to drink as much water as a person weighing 85kg.

How much water is enough?

Step 2: Divide your weight by 30

That will be the number of liters of water you have to drink every day. For example, if you weigh 60kg, you should drink 2 liters of water every day. Meanwhile, if you weigh 80kg, you should drink 2.6 liters of water.

Step 3: Supplement the amount of water you have to drink for heavy activities

If you exercise, the amount of water in your body will escape very quickly through sweat. Add 350ml (0.35 liters) to this recipe with every half hour of practice. So, if you practice for 1 hour a day, take another 700ml (0.7 liter) of water.

This is the amount of water you should refill daily. However, you must remember one more thing later.

Step 4: Remember that water is also available in the food you eat every day

That means in fact, you don't need to drink as much water as calculated. 20-25% of the water your body needs every day is fed through the foods you eat.

The chart below shows the ratio of water in green vegetables and fruits. For example, if you eat an apple, according to the table below, that apple will have 116ml (0.116 liters of water).

Let's make a simple and easy to understand example. You weigh 70kg, exercise 1 hour a day and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, how much water should you drink every day?

- The answer will be about 2.2 liters of water per day.
