THIS IS A CONTINIOUS CHALLENGE. YOU ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP DRINKING SO UNTIL YOU GOT A GOOD HABIT OF IT..POST YOUR DAILY INTAKE!!

Non-infectious recurring or chronic pain

Low back pain

Headache

Mental irritation and depression

Water retention ( ironic but true! )

112oz :Daily Water Requirements:

Add for dryness of climate +16oz

Add for strenous exercise +16oz
Total per day 144.5 oz.
Divide by the number of hours you're awake to find your hourly water requirement: 144.5 ÷ 16 = 9 oz.

Therefore, a 150-pound active person who works out should drink 9 oz. of
