💧 Water Intake Calculator

About Water Intake

Proper hydration is essential for maintaining optimal health. Water regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, transports nutrients, and helps flush out waste products. Even mild dehydration can affect physical performance, cognitive function, and overall well-being.

How it works:

• Base water intake is calculated as 35 ml per kg of body weight
• This is then multiplied by an activity factor reflecting your daily exercise level
• Results are presented in liters, cups, bottles, and milliliters for your convenience

Note:

These are general recommendations based on WHO guidelines. Individual needs may vary based on climate, health conditions, and other factors. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
