Desoto County Extension Office - Do You Drink Enough Water?

The weather outside is cooler, BUT that doesn't mean you need to stop drinking WATER! Water is vital to life! Getting enough water each day is important to your health. What you drink is as important as what you eat!

The National Academy of Medicine suggests an adequate intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups for healthy men and 9 cups for healthy women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes. It’s important to note that this amount is not a daily target, but a general guide. In the average person, drinking less will not necessarily compromise one’s health as each person’s exact fluid needs vary, even day-to-day.
