How much water should a teenager drink in a day?

Answer 1

Children should drink between 6-8 glasses a day.

The standard recommendation of water intake for children is at least 6-8 glasses (1.5 - 2 liters) a day, drunk regularly throughout the day (at least 3-4 glasses while at school) ensuring that plenty of additional fluid is drunk during warm weather and/or when exercising.

For teenage boys aged 14 over who require a higher average fluid intake of 2.6 liters (about 11 large glasses).

Adults should drink half of their body weight in ounces if they only exercise about 20 minutes a day, and it is not extremely hot weather. It might be the same for children. For example if a person weighs 130 pounds they should drink at least 65 ounces of water a day.

Answer 2

A 13 year old should drink 5-8 glasses in a gay. If you are active and involved in sports you should drink 7+ glasses a day. These numbers are based on the fact that the glass you are using can hold 8 ounces (oz) of water.If your glass holds less than that, adjust the number of glasses you drink during the day. Also, remember that you should never feel thirsty if you have not been doing anything sports related or you haven't been in the heat. If you are just inside the house or in the air conditioning, you should not feel thirsty. I you do don't worry, it won't kill you. All it means is that your body is slightly dehydrated. All you have to do is drink a little more water. It might help you to achieve your goal of drinking a certain number of glasses per day. You might want to sit down for a meal with a glass of water and drink it all is that might help you. You also could make a habbit of having a glass of water right after a meal. Water is nedded for your body to survive and carry out its functions.

Answer 4

You hear a lot in magazines about the recommended daily amount of water being 2 litres. This stems from a US Military study in the 50's.

2 litres may seem a lot but what is important to remember is that this includes the water from the food you eat. (an ornage is 90% water) so you need not drink quite as much as 2 litres.
