Ensuring that we are getting adequate and appropriate amounts daily in crucial to your health, weight loss and well-being. This module will help you begin to incorporate more water into your daily routine. The amount of water needed each day varies from person to person, depending on how active they are, how much they sweat, and so on. There is no fixed amount of water that must be consumed daily, but there is general agreement on what a healthy fluid intake is. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the average recommended daily intake of water from both food and drink is: For men: Around 3.7 liters or 125 ounces For women: Around 2.7 liters or 91 ounces This would be around 15.5 cups for men and just over 11 cups for women. However, around 80 percent of this should come from drinks, including water, and the rest will be from food. This means that: Men should drink around 100 ounces, or 12.5 cups of fluid Women should drink around 73 ounces, or just over 9 cups Fresh fruits and vegetables and all non-alcoholic fluids count towards this recommendation.
