The estimate adds three parts: a baseline of 35 mL per kg of body weight (30 mL/kg is often used for adults over 65), 0.6 L for each hour of exercise, which is the midpoint of the American College of Sports Medicine's 0.4–0.8 L per hour, and 0.5 or 1.0 L for a warm or hot climate. The total is shown in litres, 250 mL glasses and US fluid ounces.

People use it to set a daily drinking goal. A 70 kg adult who exercises for 30 minutes in a temperate climate gets 2.45 + 0.3 = 2.75 L, about 11 glasses. The European Food Safety Authority's adequate intake is 2.5 L for men and 2.0 L for women, and the US National Academies' is 3.7 L and 2.7 L; both count water from food as well as drinks.

These are population figures for healthy adults. Sweat rates vary widely, and heart failure, kidney disease and some medicines call for a fluid limit set by a clinician.

## Dữ liệu đầu vào

- **Weight**
- **Exercise per day**

## Ví dụ có lời giải

### 70 kg, 30 min exercise, temperate

- Weight: 70 kg
- Exercise per day: 30 min
- Climate: Temperate
- Sex (for the reference intakes): Male
- **Daily fluid: 2.75 L/day**
- **Glasses of 250 mL: 11**
- **From body weight: 2.45 L**
- **For exercise: 0.30 L**
- Nguồn đối chiếu: Python 3.8 decimal: 70 × 35 / 1000 + 0.6 × 30/60 = 2.75 L; 2.75 / 0.25 = 11 glasses

### 180 lb, 60 min, hot climate

- Weight: 180 lb
- Exercise per day: 60 min
- Climate: Hot (around 32 °C)
- Sex (for the reference intakes): Male
- **Daily fluid: 4.46 L/day**
- **ounce chất lỏng Mỹ: 151 fl oz/day**
- Nguồn đối chiếu: Python 3.8 decimal: 180 × 0.45359237 × 35 / 1000 + 0.6 + 1.0 = 4.457632 L = 150.73 US fl oz

### Edge: no exercise, 30 mL/kg, 60 kg

- Weight: 60 kg
- Exercise per day: 0 min
- Climate: Temperate
- Sex (for the reference intakes): Male
- Baseline per kilogram: 30 mL/kg
- **Daily fluid: 1.80 L/day**
- **For exercise: 0.00 L**
- **For climate: 0.00 L**
- **Glasses of 250 mL: 8**
- Nguồn đối chiếu: Python 3.8 decimal: 60 × 30 / 1000 = 1.8 L; 1.8 / 0.25 = 7.2, rounded up to 8

### 55 kg, 90 min, warm climate

- Weight: 55 kg
- Exercise per day: 90 min
- Climate: Warm
- Sex (for the reference intakes): Male
- **Daily fluid: 3.32 L/day**
- Nguồn đối chiếu: Python 3.8 decimal: 55 × 35 / 1000 + 0.6 × 1.5 + 0.5 = 3.325 L

## Câu hỏi

### How much water should you drink a day?

Reference values count total water from drinks and food. EFSA sets adequate intakes of 2.5 L a day for men and 2.0 L for women; the US National Academies set 3.7 L and 2.7 L, of which about 3.0 L and 2.2 L typically come from drinks. These are population averages for healthy adults in temperate conditions, and needs rise with heat, exercise, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

### Is the 8 glasses of water a day rule true?

It is a rule of thumb, not a guideline. Eight 8 oz glasses make 1.9 L, and a 2002 review by Heinz Valtin in the American Journal of Physiology found no scientific evidence behind the rule. The figure falls between EFSA's adequate intakes of total water for women (2.0 L) and men (2.5 L), which already include the 20–30 % that usually comes from food.

### How much water should you drink during exercise?

The American College of Sports Medicine's 2007 position stand gives about 0.4 to 0.8 L per hour as a starting point, adjusted to sweat rate, with the aim of keeping body weight loss under 2 %. Weighing before and after a session shows the loss: each kilogram lost is about 1 litre of sweat. Drinking well beyond sweat losses risks exercise-associated hyponatraemia.

### Do coffee and tea count toward water intake?

Yes. The US National Academies' 2005 reference intakes for water concluded that caffeinated drinks contribute to total water intake much as non-caffeinated drinks do, because moderate caffeine does not cause a net loss of body water over the day. Food counts too: it supplies about 20 % of total water intake in the US diet.

### “Water intake calculator” chính xác đến mức nào?

Độ chính xác phụ thuộc vào dữ liệu nhập và giả định của phương pháp. Phép tính thập phân dùng 50 chữ số có nghĩa, nhưng ước lượng, phương pháp số và dữ liệu nguồn có thể kém chính xác hơn; làm tròn khi hiển thị không loại bỏ các giới hạn đó. Ví dụ có lời giải đã đối chiếu với nguồn độc lập: 4. Ví dụ, “70 kg, 30 min exercise, temperate” được kiểm tra bằng Python 3.8 decimal: 70 × 35 / 1000 + 0.6 × 30/60 = 2.75 L; 2.75 / 0.25 = 11 glasses.
