Recommended Amount Of Water Per Day

It’s common knowledge that we need to ensure we drink enough water but what is the recommended amount of water per day? And what are the health benefits of drinking water? Below are the answers to these questions along with how installing one of our water filtration systems can help you drink the recommended amount of drinking water per day.

Billi has been at the forefront of the instant filtered boiling and chilled water systems industry for over 30 years. All our water filtration systems come with an assurance of quality, innovation & sustainability and are proudly Australian-designed & made to strict quality standards in our state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne. Here is what the recommended amount of drinking water per day is and the health benefits of drinking water.

Every cell in our body requires water to function properly so drinking enough water is super important, however, if you drink too much water you may be at risk of overhydration which can cause serious issues. One of the best indicators of where your hydration levels are is through your urine. Your urine should be pale yellow. If it’s colourless you may be drinking too much water, if it’s dark, you may need to drink more.

 

How To Drink The Perfect Amount Of Water Each Day

The recommended amount of water per day from the Institute of Medicine is approximately 9­ to 13 cups for a healthy adult. However, this does vary based on a few different factors:

  • Your gender (generally, men need to drink slightly more than women)
  • The weather (in warmer weather, you may need to drink more)
  • How active you are (if you sweat out a lot of your fluids through high activity, the recommended amount of drinking water per day may be higher)
  • Your health (for example, if you have a fever you may need to drink more water or if you have a kidney issue that doesn’t allow you to excrete water effectively – you may need to drink less. Always consult your health professional about your recommended water consumption specific to you if you do have health conditions)

 

Health Benefits Of Drinking Water

Here is why drinking the recommended amount of drinking water per day is so beneficial:

  • Regulates your body temperature
  • Helps regulate blood pressure
  • Helps to prevent constipation
  • Flushes out waste products
  • Clearer, healthier and younger-looking skin
  • Drinking water helps the body to feel full and stave off cravings so can help with weight loss / management
  • Boosts your energy, mood and alertness
  • Helps maintain proper kidney function
  • Better digestion
  • Lubricates joints
  • Can promote healthy brain function

And, to boost all these amazing health benefits of drinking water, if you’re drinking high-quality water this is even better. Our water filtration systems utilise premium filters that remove sediment, chlorine, and parasitic cysts including cryptosporidium & giardia & lead. They also improve the taste and odour of your water too. Water combinations for the system in our range can include instant boiling, chilled still and sparkling water which many find having variety, enticing their family to increase their water intake.
