How much water do I need each day?

from Ask Dr. Paul · host Dr. Paul Kilgore, M.D.

In this episode, we discuss a topic important to all of us: water.  Our bodies lose water every day through our skin and respiratory tract (lungs, mouth).  But, how much water do we need to replace? Because water is essential to live, our bodies have an elegant system for water regulation.  The secret weapon is the kidney. Today, we discuss how your kidneys help regulate water and electrolytes (salt) in your body. And, you will also hear about those key things you can do to protect your kidneys from harm. Please share with anyone you think may find this helpful.  Thanks for listening!
