How to Calculate Your Body’s Water Needs!

Everyone seems to know the importance of drinking water in the summer time when it is very hot, but it is also important to get enough water in the winter time, when you are less likely to feel thirsty. Frostbite isn’t the only thing to be afraid of in the winter! Two-thirds of your body is made up of water. You need water to live; it is needed in every cell, tissue and organ in order to function. It is important to be drinking water throughout the day, and eating foods with a high water content.
Those who wake up with aches, pains and headaches in the winter may need to consume more water. We get water from eating food too, so we should definitely take this into account. The elderly and those who exercise in the cold must be especially careful in the winter, because they are less likely to feel their own thirst.
