Water your body, the app way

This app has been downloaded by about 20,000 people it is currently rated 4.5 out of 5 on Google Play.

Water helps the human body flush out waste, regulate temperature and keep it functioning properly. Through various bodily functions like breathing, sweating and urination, the body loses water and hence needs hydration at regular intervals. An average human being should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. But often we forget to do so. Now, with the Water Your Body app, you can keep track of your intake.

Install this free Android app from the Google Play store. Once installed, the app asks your weight and determines your daily water requirement. It features a customizable cup in Imperial (oz) or Metric (ml) units. It allows you to set a start and end time for drinking water. Once set, it offers you graphs and logs to track your intake.

You can use this as an hourly drinking reminder. Have a cup each time you hear it play the sound of water being poured into a glass. You can also make use of the app by logging in your drinking activity.

How to track

When you open the app, the daily activity area shows your current weight, and below it the amount of water consumed/the amount you are required to consume. For example, if you weigh 65kg, the app suggests you consume 2145ml daily. Choose your default cup size from four options – 300ml, 400ml, 600ml and 700ml (or add your own size). At each intake, tap the plus button to add to the day’s consumption. At the end of the day, check whether you have reached the target.

The second tab provides a detailed graph of your monthly consumption. The third tab shows your log for the day and time of consumption. This data can be deleted by tapping on it. In the settings tab, you can edit display hours, date format and notification sounds.
