How Often Do You Drink Water? by Sunjos: 11:54am On Mar 01, 2015
Your water needs actually depend on many
factors, including your health, how active you are
and where you live.
Although no single formula fits everyone, knowing
more about your body's need for fluids will help
you estimate how much water to drink each day.
Health benefits of water
Water is your body's principal chemical
component and makes up about 60 percent of
your body weight.
Every system in your body depends on water.
Water flushes toxins out of vital organs,
Carries nutrients to your cells,
Provides a moist environment for ear, nose and
throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition
that occurs when you don't have enough water in
your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild
dehydration can drain your energy and make you
tired.
Drinking water about a half hour before meals can
also reduce the amount of calories people end up
consuming, especially in older individuals
Drinking more water may help with several health
problems, such as constipation and kidney stones.
If you want to keep things simple (always a good
idea), then these guidelines should apply to 90% of
people:
1. When thirsty, drink.
2. When not thirsty anymore, stop.
3. During high heat and exercise, drink enough to
compensate for the lost fluids.
You may need to modify your total fluid intake
depending on how active you are, the climate you
live in, your health status, and if you're pregnant
or breast-feeding.
So is water part of your menu? Start thinking
about adding it to your food menu.

I take at least one and a half glass of water first thing after waking up then repeat the process throughout the day
