three litres a day, feel like a winner – asaad saudi money
Many things can enter into any equation for computing hydration, for a 24 hour period. It can be said that we lose approximately 1 liter of water fluid in our sleep, give or take. The amount of diuretic fluids or foods we consume per day. Our intestines will require a certain amount per day to digest foods. Around 1 liter of fluid is needed to have a bowel movement. Just in a regular day of passive work situation, some exertion, will require around a liter or slightly less. Our age, metabolic efficiency, activity level all play a major factor on the need to consume fluids, food that will keep us hydrated. Another thing I do not see too much of on the webb, unless researched is, how well our systems can adapt to keep ourselves hydrated. With some, certain glands, conditions will, if not functioning properly, not absorb and distribute those fluids in such a way, we are well hydrated. As a trail runner, gravel & road cyclist at 69, I can say at least for myself, around 20 oz. per hour when in full tilt, at least for my age is right about enough for saturation and continued hydration for activities. Some more or less for others. I would conclude in saying that each individual can only gauge themselves for the amount. As a general rule however, a baseline should be established with a good checkup, blood work and prognosis to allow each their own guidelines to follow. I believe it should be up to each individual to stay abreast of their own bodily functions in such a way as to understand their needs better. This helps when seeing you physician so your conversation can have the results one is looking for. Good health, understanding your own body is much more lucrative than material items or the amount of wealth one haves.
60 ounces a day should be the bare minimum. 60 to 80 works fairly well, and over this would be needed for more extreme circumstances such as endurance events, etc., of course, taking weather conditions into consideration. As we age, 50 plus, our systems metabolic structuring may only be a quarter of our youth, hence our ability to absorb fluids changes and of course, we tend to forget how important it becomes to stay hydrated. Everyone has different needs.
What do I do after those first 10 hours?
If we’re talking about hydration why isn’t electrolyte balance brought up
So you don't need to add salt to your water especially in the morning?
I've never understood all this about water and I could never drink 2L of water a day,I've never had a drink with me while training for over 40yrs I have small amount before and after and in a day be lucky to consume more than 2pints of fluids and I've always been fine no problem at all same now at 57 and around 12st7lbs listen to your body if thirsty drink simple
I nearly had an heart attack as i saw andrew speaking in Hindi……!!! After taking few Physiological sighs then i realised its Hindi Dubbed (Translated)
There is a drastic difference in a person's hydration needs – depending on the type of exercise you are doing. If you are running, biking, or even walking – you will be sweating at twice or three times the rate – as compared to someone doing "resistance training". How do your water requirements change – based on the type and intensity of exercise?
I loved how you explained it. I can definitely do 8 ounces per hour. I’m realizing I didn’t drink enough water on a daily basis. Thank you doctor! ❤
I have great doubts about the Galpin method. Not because of scientific knowledge but from the experience with 23 Marathons that I have run so far.
I am 66 kg and I have performances between 2:50 and 3:00 in Marathon races. According to the Galpin method 1600ml is enough for me during the race (2ml x66kg=132ml every 15 minutes for about 3 hours).
If I follow this method around 30km I will be forced to slow down as I will be dehydrated.
Andrew, I thought you were a scientist man, what's with the imperial system? Who uses ounces to represent volume? An ounce is a measure of weight. Make's no sense
Not all water is created equally. Most tap water is full of chlorine and other cancer causing contaminants and long term exposure is unhealthy. Filter your water people they dont tell you its on you to test and know whats in the water and filter it accordingly.
Alot of bottled water lacks benificial nutrients and sits in storage getting cooled and re heated many times over in a plastic bottle before consumption
Sheesh… Over 5 minutes in… A: 2.4 litres for first 10 hours of the day if youre not exercising, more if you do.
4:25 bless your heart
Dr. Loraine Day said you should be drinking 10 to 12 , 8 ounces of water a day. She was Chief of orthopedic surgery at San Francisco General and vice chairman at UCLA. She also beat breast cancer over 30 years ago, without chemo or radiation!!! You have to drink a whole LOT of water to be dangerous!!! she was also an authority on AIDS. She passed away a year ago at 86 years old!
No information about electrolytes?
Very helpful
Or.. The body knows more than you do in what it requires. Instead of calculating guessing everything… Keep around the 2.5 L per day, but every now and again take a couple of gulps of water, and see if the body "asks" for more through thirst sensations.
So I am drinking a 10th of what I should be … Das not good
Drinking water alone is not enough
If for the first 10 hours of the day the intake is 8 oz (237 mL) of fluid per hour, then how much we need to drink for the next 6 hours before we go to bed? as per the instructions we need to reduce the intake a few hours before go to bed
I drank 64 oz for 2 days each and I got water diarrhea all day on the 3rd day
00:04 Measuring dehydration can vary depending on factors such as age and body composition.
01:21 Dehydration can be identified by the color change in depression and failure to revert back
02:48 Stay hydrated when living in indoor environments
04:18 Consume 8 ounces of fluid every hour for the first 10 hours of your day
05:42 It is important to ensure sufficient hydration by consuming 2.4 liters of water in a span of 10 hours from wake up time.
07:06 Drink additional fluids during exercise to maximize effects and avoid dehydration.
08:33 To stay hydrated during training, it is recommended to sip or consume beverages consistently throughout.
09:51 Hydration prior to exercise is important and should establish a good baseline of hydration.

All water is not the same!!!!! Not sure why he didn’t advise Eating your water 💧…fruits have H3O2 this penetrates the cells better than H2O. H2O is good for topical use but it’s not what your body is made of
I ruined my sleep because I was emptying my bladder hourly during the night. Overhydration is a problem. I was washing out electrolytes, thyroid meds and other nutrients. 🤪
Which bottle water you recommend to be the healthiest and cleanest water?
what if you take creatine
Missing electrolytes in fluid
I drink 4L of water everyday
is it really that common for people to just be walking around all dehydrated and shit? Like don't we just get thirsty and drink in 99% of the cases? or did we really lose ourselves so much that we need to be taught how to drink!?
I just want to know if those expensive electrolyte waters ( like LMNT, and the bottled electrolyte waters) are worth it or just a waste of money.

I'll save you roughly 11 minutes. How to properly hydrate: drink water. There you go.
@huberman, this video is worthless. Nor is it scientific.
Overdrinking water in relation to sodium intake is dangerous
I see my wife drinking water maybe twice per day, will hit a trail up a mountain for 11 miles like a magical Tolkien elf, with just a 20 oz bottle of water for the whole trip.
Some people say that tea and coffee counts towards fluid intake but each caffeinated beverage dehydrates you so it's basically cancelling itself out. Don't forget electrolytes so the water doesn't just go straight through you. Celtic salt or pink salt will do the job and it's cheaper than fancy electrolyte drinks.
Nice , the research based knowledge is trustable and worth implementing.
Sorry to say but it sounds a complete nonsense. Do you know any animal you can force to drink (because scientists recommend it) when it is not thirsty? Physically we are similar to animals. Why should we not listen to our body? I tried to drink a lot of water and it stayed in my belly without any benefit. A lot of water without properly balanced electrolytes could be harmful
Thanks!
Would you please tell us – How to Create Water That Hydrates at the Cellular Level
Exercise? How about work? Most people exercise in an air conditioned gym or home
There are folks that have to work outside, regardless of the weather. How about farmers and ranchers? Roofers, paving workers, lumberjacks, firefighters, foundry workers, landscapers, etc., etc.
Nonsense
Converting into metric system is very much appreciated
People who live in africa…
Confusing 8oz is 1 cup of water. 1 cup of water if your moving.
Never ask an American to explain something to you. They have a way of explaining things that makes it sound much more complicated than it is, just to showcase their technical ability and what an expert they are.
