Frequently asked questions
- Does all fluid count?
- Yes. Water, other drinks and the water in food all contribute. The target here is a general guide for total intake, not water alone.
- Can you drink too much water?
- Rarely, but yes. Drinking far more than you need can dilute your blood sodium. Let thirst and urine colour guide you, and don't force large amounts.
- How do I know if I am drinking enough?
- Pale yellow urine and rarely feeling thirsty are good signs you are on track. Dark urine, headaches or a dry mouth suggest you could drink more.
