I drank too much water today. But the thirst is strong. How much is the maximum amount of water that humans should drink per day? 💧💦

Feel you, it’s based on your body weight
Thank, I usually drink about 5 to 6 liters a day and I am comfortable. Today I drank more than that, I don’t know why.
No hard maximum on daily amount, but your kidneys can only process around 1.5 liters an hour and anything more can start to cause some issues. 1 ounce of water per 2 pounds of body weight daily usually does the trick. Listen to your own body though, everyone is different!
I regularly drink between 5 and 6 liters of water every day, today I drank more of that but I’m not sure why. And my routine has been the same without any significant changes.
Heat can play a factor - we lose a lot more water on hot days then we realize. In general I wouldn’t be concerned about some daily variations in your habits.
If thirsts persists long term, one thing to note is that can sometimes be a sign of high blood sugar or insulin resistance. I’m no doctor though so I’d definitely get more professional advice if this is something which concerns you!
I wouldn’t be pushing past 4 litres unless your living somewhere hot or exercise a lot. Excess water can be bad I’m pretty sure 💕
Thank you for the advice, if I live in a tropical area near the sea and I exercise. I usually drink between 5 and 6 liters of water a day. Today I was more thirsty 💦
