Numerous biological processes, including preserving electrolyte balance, enhancing metabolism, eliminating toxins through urine, and controlling body temperature, depend on water. To keep hydrated, it's common knowledge that eight glasses of water should be consumed each day. It might not be appropriate for everyone, though. So, what is the recommended daily intake of water?
 
A person's water demands are influenced by several circumstances. people who often exercise or live in hot areas, for example, should drink extra water. people with greater muscle mass need more water because muscular tissue has a higher water content than fat tissue. Additionally, larger people usually require more water to maintain optimum hydration. Sweating and breathing cause the body to lose more water when exercising, thus longer or more strenuous workouts necessitate consuming more water.
 
Warm, muggy weather increases perspiration, which increases the water demand. Elevations above sea level can lead to rapid breathing and increased urination, which in turn increases the need for water. Fever, diarrhea, and vomiting are examples of conditions that increase water loss and the need to consume more fluids. The body requires more water when high protein or salt diets are consumed. Extra fluids are necessary for nursing and pregnant women to maintain the baby and their milk production.
