Frequently asked questions
Is more water always better?
No. Kidney disease, heart failure, and low sodium risk can make excess fluid unsafe.
Does coffee always dehydrate you?
Regular coffee also contributes fluid, but this tool uses a conservative offset because caffeine can increase urine output for some people.
How should I handle exercise days?
Choose a higher activity level on sweaty days and consider electrolytes for long or intense sessions.
