The correct answer is: 2.7L

The recommendation for total water intake for women by the National Academy of Medicine is 2.7 liters per day. This figure encompasses all fluids consumed, including those from beverages and food. Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining bodily functions such as temperature regulation, joint lubrication, nutrient transport, and waste elimination. The 2.7 liters reflects a comprehensive approach to hydration, which recognizes the varied sources of water intake, including fruits and vegetables that naturally contain water. This guideline also considers average conditions and does not account for variations based on individual lifestyle, physical activity levels, or environmental factors. Understanding this recommendation helps highlight the importance of consistent hydration in supporting overall health.
