What will be an ideal response?


Female adults should consume about 12 cups of water (9 cups from beverages; 3 cups from foods) daily, whereas male adults should consume about 16 cups (13 cups from beverages; 3 cups from foods) daily. In addition, for every pound of weight lost during exercise, drink at least two and a half cups of water to rehydrate. The recommended amount of water is a combination of the recommended amount of water and the water which is needed to rehydrate from sweating during exercise. To assess the body's level of hydration, the color of urine should be inspected. Clear or light-colored urine signals hydration.
