drink per day
Institute of Medicine (IOM) Guidelines:
- Men: About 3.7 liters (or approximately 13 cups) of total water per day.
- Women: About 2.7 liters (or approximately 9 cups) of total water per day.
Summary : Following these IOM guidelines ensures you cover your hydration needs comprehensively. Remember that these recommendations include all sources of fluids, so you don’t need to drink all of this as plain water. Listening to your body and adjusting based on specific needs is also important for maintaining proper hydration.
