How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day?

Hello, Shirley! My name is Jianna Bustamante, and I am a physical therapist and personal trainer at Whole Health Solutions & Sports Performance, located at 2 Shaker Road in Shirley, MA. I grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, and took the exciting leap of moving to Massachusetts eight years ago.

Outside of work, I enjoy running with my local run clubs, reading as many books as I can (recommendations are always welcome!), and searching for the best coffee shops around town.

At Whole Health Solutions, we take a different approach than traditional healthcare facilities. Our focus is on building long-term relationships with our clients to create meaningful, lasting change, whether that means weight loss, injury rehabilitation, or building strength and muscle.

I’m very excited to be contributing articles to the newspaper and sharing practical, easy-to-follow health tips in each issue. This week’s tip is hydration: a good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, aim for about 75 ounces of water daily. During the winter months, staying hydrated is especially important for maintaining overall health and energy.

Here’s to getting better every day.
