Water Intake Everyone has an opinion on how much water is necessary for health. For this assignment we will use the Dietary Reference Intake table for electrolytes and water in Appendix J, page A-109. These recommended Intakes include water intake from food as well as beverages. We will not be real exact when doing the calculations. Four cups - one quart which is close to one liter. Use 4 cups = 1 liter. An adult on the chart begins at age 19. You wll need to convert cups to liters and compare the result to the chart. Then Indicate if they are not meeting, meeting, or exceeding the suggested water intake. Example: 18 yr. male, consumes 8 cups of water 8 cups + 4 cups/liter = 2 liters of water. The chart suggests 3.3 liters/day. So this person is not meeting the suggested intake. Fill in the chart for these Individuals plus yourself Liters Suggestion Not Meet, Meet, Exceed 9 yr. female 16 cups 19 yr. female 10 cups Adult male 18 cups 9 month infant 2 cups Yourself Another way to estimate water intake is to use "Rule of Thumb". For this method you divide weight by 2 then by 8 to receive estimated cups. Example: 120 Ib. person, 10 cups of water 120+ 2 = 60 60 + 8 - 7.5 cups 10 cups > 7.5 cups so they are exceeding the estimate. For the test, remember the suggested adult Intakes for water. Men 3.7 liters/day Women 2.7 liters/ day
