Among the choices provided, the option that generally aligns with health guidelines is:

You should drink at least eight 8-ounce cups of water every day.

While individual hydration needs can vary based on factors such as age, activity level, and climate, the "8x8" rule (eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day) is a commonly referenced guideline for maintaining hydration.

The other statements are misleading or not advisable:

  1. Drinking soda is not an effective way to replace lost fluids because it contains added sugars and caffeine, which may have a diuretic effect.
  2. Drinking high-sugar juice can contribute to unhealthy calorie intake and does not effectively replace water.
  3. You should drink water regularly throughout the day, not just in hot weather or during vigorous activity, to maintain proper hydration levels.
