Energy requirements are strongly evidence-based in each age and gender group based on extensive research which takes into account body size and activity level which are crucial determinants of energy expenditure which must be met by dietary energy intake. We use a rule that expresses water needs in relation to energy requirements in ml/kcal. Of course, these are estimates based on population averages so consulting your physician or nutritionist is always recommended before making changes to your water consumption or exercise routine.Ĭalculating your recommended total daily water intake and thus optimal hydration requires the estimation of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) which measures how much energy (in kcal, kilocalories) you expend during a typical day. The outputs of our water intake calculator are in liters, milliliters, cups (equivalent to a standard glass), and ounces of water.

Our water calculator will help you easily estimate how much water you need per day including how much of it you will need to drink in the form of fluids (pure water or beverages). Adjustments for climate, excessive sweating & pregnancy.
Berg water bottle free#
It took 3 days last winter to free this ferry. In the dead of winter, another problem arises, shown by the next image which is a ferry stuck in the ice. The only way our cases of water arrive here, are by Ferry. The island is isolated from direct contact with the mainland. The water maintains the same composition and characteristics both at the time of bottling and collection.Īs a reminder, the map on the right shows just how far Berg extends into the Northern Atlantic. The water is bottled in its natural state, without significant processing in order to preserve its natural properties. Icebergs melt naturally in the ocean, so instead of exploiting springs or underground aquifers, Berg collects the water before it disappears into the sea. Harvesting is mostly done by hand and small quantities so the impact in the environment is almost non-existent. The result is pure, clean water with the crisp natural taste of melted snow. Since icebergs have the consistency of concrete, seawater is unable to penetrate the ice and contaminate the mineral content. However, Berg water has a TDS of less than 10 ppm, one of the lowest in the market. There are other waters that have a low TDS (total dissolved solids). Iceberg water is harvested directly from the icebergs, and is not exposed to ground contaminants. The main difference is that glacier water is bottled after it melts to the pools at the base of the glacier, coming in contact with land. Berg should not be confused with glacier water. They are very unstable, shift frequently and can roll over in seconds, which make the possibility of drinking iceberg water an accomplishment in itself.īerg water comes from Icebergs, a unique source. Production can be limited due to extended winters and the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic.

Icebergs are melted and bottled under strict quality conditions in order to preserve the water's natural qualities. It is not until massive pieces of ice break off into the ocean in the form of icebergs that they can be harvested. Isolation has made its source totally inaccessible to man. It has been safely stored in the ice cap, protected by the ocean and the hazardous conditions of the arctic weather. This water's journey started over 15,000 years ago in the ancient glaciers of western Greenland. It is an all natural, truly virginal water with almost no trace of minerals. Iceberg water is a very unique product, in a category all by itself.
