Understanding Hydration Needs

Proper hydration is essential for nearly every bodily function. Water regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, aids digestion, and helps transport nutrients.

How Water Needs Are Calculated:

  • Base Requirement: 30-35ml per kg of body weight
  • Activity Adjustment: Increased needs for physical activity
  • Climate Factors: Hot or dry climates increase water loss
  • Special Conditions: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, illness increase needs

Signs of Proper Hydration:

  • Pale yellow urine
  • Regular urination (4-7 times daily)
  • Moist skin and mucous membranes
  • Normal energy levels and cognitive function

Signs of Dehydration:

  • Dark yellow urine
  • Dry mouth and skin
  • Fatigue and dizziness
  • Headaches and confusion

Note: Individual needs vary. Consult with healthcare professionals at Angel Polyclinic for personalized advice, especially if you have kidney or heart conditions.
