Question 1

How much water should I drink per day?

Accepted Answer

The general guideline is roughly half your body weight in ounces (e.g. a 160 lb person should aim for ~80 oz). However, actual needs vary significantly based on activity level, climate, altitude, diet, and individual physiology. Active people in hot climates may need 50-100% more than sedentary individuals in temperate conditions.

Question 2

Does coffee and tea count toward water intake?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While caffeine has a mild diuretic effect, research shows that caffeinated beverages still contribute a net positive to hydration. The fluid content of coffee, tea, and other beverages counts toward your daily total. However, water remains the ideal primary source because it has no calories, additives, or diuretic effects.

Question 3

What are the signs of dehydration?

Accepted Answer

Early signs include dark yellow urine, thirst, dry mouth, and fatigue. Moderate dehydration can cause headaches, dizziness, reduced concentration, and decreased exercise performance. Even 2% dehydration (about 1.5 lbs for a 150 lb person) can measurably impair physical and cognitive performance.

Question 4

How does Vora help me stay hydrated?

Accepted Answer

Vora adjusts your hydration target daily based on your actual exercise duration, sweat-inducing activity from wearable data, and local weather conditions. It factors in workout intensity and duration so your target is higher on hard training days and lower on rest days.
