Water (L) = Weight(kg) * 0.035 + (Exercise Minutes / 30) * 0.35 + Climate Offset
National Academies of Sciences recommended daily fluid baseline adjusted for sweat rates and metabolic turnover.
Comprehensive Guide & Context
Signs of Adequate Hydration
The easiest check is urine color: pale straw or light yellow signifies optimal hydration, while dark amber indicates fluid deficiency.
