Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 25-year-old female. What is an adult's recommended daily water intake, and how does this vary based on age, weight, and physical activity level? Is there an optimal time to consume water throughout the day? How does hydration contribute to overall wellness and bodily functions? Are there health risks associated with consuming too much water? What role does hydration play in the aging process and the appearance of the skin? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you. The recommended daily water intake is around 130 ounces (15 cups) for men and 95 ounces ( 11 cups) for women. No, there is no optimal time, but if you stay in the sun cities, I will advise you to drink extra to avoid dehydration. Hydration maintains body fluid levels by adequate supply to maintain health status and is achieved by the fluid carrying body electrolytes from one part of the body to the other. Also, it is necessary to flush toxins away from the body via the kidney to help the body system stay clear of bacteria and harmful elements. No health risks are associated with excess water intake. Hydration concerning aging and skin maintenance is to keep the skin and other organs supplied with the required vitamins to maintain healthy skin growth. Schedule another follow-up appointment via chat, phone, or video consultation for further queries.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
