Thatâs an excellent and common question. Thereâs a lot of confusion about water intake because everyoneâs needs are different. The idea that everyone must drink 3 or 4 litres a day is not always correct.
Our body signals thirst when it needs water, but mild dehydration can still occur without feeling very thirsty, especially in dry weather, during travel, or with high caffeine intake. Headache after travelling is often due to dehydration and heat exposure.
As a general guide, most adults need around 30 to 35 ml of water per kg of body weight daily. For example, if you weigh 60 kg, thatâs about 1.8 to 2.1 litres of total fluids, including soups, fruits, and tea. You can check your hydration by the colour of urine; light yellow means good hydration.
