Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should I drink per day?
General guidelines suggest 8 glasses (64 oz) of water daily, but individual needs vary significantly based on activity level, climate, body size, health conditions, and medications. Factors like exercise, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain medical conditions can increase your fluid needs. Some people may need more or less than the standard recommendation. **HEALTH DISCLAIMER: Consult healthcare professionals for personalized hydration advice, especially if you have kidney disease, heart conditions, or take medications affecting fluid balance.**
Can I track other beverages besides water?
While this tool focuses on water tracking, other beverages do contribute to hydration. However, water is the best choice for hydration as it has no calories, caffeine, or additives. Beverages with caffeine or alcohol may have mild diuretic effects. Sugary drinks add calories without nutritional benefits. For the most accurate hydration tracking, focus primarily on plain water. **DISCLAIMER: Individual beverage tolerance varies. Consult healthcare providers about which beverages are appropriate for your health conditions.**
What if I forget to log my water intake?
The tracker works best with consistent logging, but missing entries occasionally won't harm your overall hydration habits. Try setting regular reminders, keeping a water bottle visible, or logging intake immediately after drinking. The tool helps build awareness of your drinking patterns over time. You can reset and start fresh any day. **HEALTH NOTE: Focus on actual hydration rather than perfect tracking. Listen to your body's thirst signals and maintain consistent fluid intake regardless of logging accuracy.**
Is it possible to drink too much water?
Yes, drinking excessive amounts of water can lead to water intoxication or hyponatremia, where sodium levels become dangerously diluted. This typically occurs when consuming large quantities (several liters) in a short time period. Normal daily water intake within recommended ranges is generally safe for healthy individuals. Pay attention to your body's signals and drink when thirsty. **IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: If you have heart, kidney, or liver conditions, consult your doctor about appropriate fluid intake limits. Excessive water consumption can be dangerous.**
How does the progress circle calculation work?
The progress circle calculates your completion percentage by dividing glasses consumed by your daily goal, then multiplying by 100. For example, if you've had 4 glasses out of an 8-glass goal, that's 50% completion. The visual circle fills proportionally to show your progress. The tool also converts between different units (glasses, ounces, liters) based on your selected glass size. **ACCURACY NOTE: This tool provides visual progress tracking only. Actual hydration needs depend on many individual factors beyond simple glass counting.**
