You should drink two cups of water about two hours before you exercise. Dear Lifehacker, I've heard you need eight glasses of water every day, but I've also heard that it might be more or less. Some say too much water is bad, and many more say too little is bad.
Men should aim for 3.7 liters, or about 125 ounces, which is a little more than 15Â½ cups of water each day, according to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine. Women need 2.7 liters daily, which is roughly 91 ounces of water and a little less than 11Â½ cups. If you are pregnant, this minimum requirement goes up to 3 liters, which is approximately 101 ounces or a bit more than 12Â½ cups. It goes up again if you're breast-feeding. In this case, bump up your daily fluid intake to 3.8 liters, which is equal to approximately 132 ounces or a bit more than 16 cups. Of course if youâre exercising, doing yard work, tackling that list of chores or working in extreme heat, youâll need to increase your water intake even more.
