Do I need extra fluids when I'm exercising?
Yes. How much extra water you need depends upon the length and intensity of the exercise you undertake, as well as how much you sweat and how warm the weather is.
If you work out for an hour at the gym, eight to sixteen ounces of water may be enough to replace any fluid you have lost through working out. If you are participating in a marathon, you will need to drink considerably more water, and possibly a sports drink, to replace the fluids and minerals your body will lose.
Do I need to drink extra fluids when I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes. Breastfeeding mothers, in particular, have higher fluid needs. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 2.4 liters (about 10 cups) of fluids per day and women who breastfeed drink 3 liters (about 12.5 cups) of fluids a day.
