Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink daily?
Recommendations vary, but many adults aim for 9–13 cups (about 2–3 liters) of total fluids, including water from food. Adjust based on activity, weather, and personal factors.

Is cold water bad for hydration?
No, cold water hydrates just fine. Some people find room-temperature easier on digestion, so mixing both often works well.

Can I drink too much water at once?
Yes—chugging large amounts can overwhelm your kidneys and lead to more frequent urination rather than better absorption. Steady sipping is generally more effective.
