How to know you're getting enough water

While most of us are familiar with the standard recommendation to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day, modern studies are focusing on gender and size-based requirements for optimal health. For example, a 6'5" man might feel that eight glasses a day isn't enough, while a 4'10" woman might feel it's too much.

The Mayo Clinic suggests following the Institute of Medicine's adequate intake guidelines, which indicate that 13 cups for men and nine cups for women is sufficient. Obviously, if you are sweating, increase your intake accordingly and use common sense. If it feels like you've had enough water, respect your body.

Remember, if you feel thirsty, you're probably already mildly dehydrated. If your mouth feels parched, guzzle a cup or two to get back on track!
