La formula, passo dopo passo

  1. WaterDailyGoal usa 33 ml/kg per stimare le bevande. Gli scenari di 30–40 ml/kg e i coefficienti di attività e clima sono ipotesi del sito, non fabbisogni personali validati né formule NAM/EFSA.
  2. kg × 0.033 L; +0 / +0.3 / +0.6 / +1.0 L; ×0.95 / ×1.0 / ×1.10.
  3. Gravidanza, allattamento e farmaci GLP-1 non modificano automaticamente la stima. I riferimenti di acqua totale includono gli alimenti; non sono dosi minime da bere. Segui le indicazioni cliniche individuali.

Il risultato è un obiettivo quotidiano di bevuta. Il cibo di solito aggiunge altra acqua, ma manteniamo il numero principale centrato su ciò che bevi davvero.
