In this short Portuguese health talk, the speaker explains that both insufficient and excessive water consumption can be harmful, emphasizing that “a lot” of water is relative to each individual. He demonstrates how to calculate a personalized daily water intake using a simple formula: multiply body weight (in kilograms) by 35 ml to obtain the minimum amount, with a recommended range of 35–50 ml per kilogram. Using his own weight as an example, he arrives at a daily need of roughly 3.5 L to 5 L of water. The speaker stresses that the notion of “drinking too much” depends on whether the calculated appropriate amount is exceeded, urging viewers to perform their own calculation rather than rely on generic statements.
