As we all know, the kidneys are one of the most important organs in our body, responsible for eliminating toxins and waste through urine and helping maintain the balance of essential minerals like sodium and potassium. But one question that arises is how much water should we drink to maintain healthy kidneys. Let's find out.

Why is drinking water important for your kidneys?

When you don't drink enough water, your kidneys have to work harder to filter the blood, which can lead to an imbalance in electrolytes and minerals. This can cause symptoms like dry skin, fatigue, weakness, and headaches.

How much water should you drink?

Women: At least 2.7 liters (about 11 cups) per day

Men: About 3.7 liters (about 15 cups) per day

This amount includes fluids from all sources, such as drinking water, juices, vegetables, and fruits. However, each person's water needs vary depending on factors such as physical activity, age, climate, and health conditions.
