How much of water a person is actuaaly requried?

Water requirements are different for each person, and vary wildly depending upon such variables as weight, activity level, relative humidity, physical condition, etc. Thirst alone is not a very good indicator of water need, as many people are dehydrated during inactive winter months from the dry air in their heated homes. A good way to monitor whether you are dehydrated is to observe the color of your urine. Clear means well hydrated. The darker the urine the more severely dehydrated you are. There are many effects of dehydration many people don't recognize as caused by dehydration, such as constipation, headache, fatigue, muscle soreness, and greatly increased risk of viral and bacterial infection.
