What is the Water Balance Calculator?

The Water Balance Calculator is a health tool that helps users evaluate their hydration status by comparing daily water intake with water losses through urine, sweat, and activity. By considering personal activity level and climate, the calculator provides a net water balance, determines hydration status, and gives actionable suggestions to maintain optimal hydration. This ensures that your body stays properly hydrated, supports kidney and cardiovascular health, and helps prevent dehydration-related issues.
