How Much Water Do You Drink Daily?

How much water should you drink daily to be properly hydrated?

I heard around 2 liters is ideal and I tend to drink a lot myself but just curious what everyone else thinks?

Atleast more than 2 liters everyday should keep you hydrated. But There is no exact amount fixed for everyone. if you ask why because there are some factors that play vital role on how much fluids your body needs.. The first factor would be "Humidity".

See, on a humid day you sweat a lot.. That drains lots of fluid from your body and obviously the more you sweat the more you should drink. these circumstances are limited to summer times. but in winter humidity is less and you sweat less. So in that season you can get away with drinking less fluids.

Second factor would be the physical work amount. If you have to use your body muscles in any kind of work than you burn through more fluids. So the more you work the more you should drink..

Now the third factor is you body size. This is the determining variable about how much you should drink.. See a person has 55-64% water in their body. so if you weigh 100 Kilograms than 60 kg is water. Now everyday you lose from 2-8% of that water from pissing and sweating and the amount you lose is determined by the previous two factorsn if you from that 60kg lose 2-8% then you can lose 2-5 liters of water a day.. Now you counting in all the variables do the math and figure out how much you should drink..B

I'm not a believer that a person should definitely consume 2 litres of water every day. I might sound weird but I do not drink water at all. I drink a small quantity after my food to just wash my mouth. Other than that I never keep any targets for me to drink these many litres every day.

I'm a firm believer who thinks that we should be consuming food and water only when it is required for our body. I'm someone who practices this ideology. I drink water only when it is necessary for me and only when I feel thirsty and feel like drinking water. I have been like this for many years and have had no problems.

I'm not sure if this ideology is correct or wrong but this is just only for me. I feel it works for my body condition so I'm practising it. I have seen people drinking over 6 litres of water every day. I'm not quite sure if it is good for health or not. Every human body takes water in the form of moisture during our breathing. I somehow feel that it is sufficient for my body and if at times when I need more water, I will feel thirsty and that is when I drink water.

I will never force my body with water when it is not required for me. You can also check online for references on the harmful effect of drinking lots of water. Especially during the summer season, my body will require lots of water. That is when I will really feel thirsty and drink more water. Or when I do some really brisk things like walking or playing outdoors, I will need more water. I will feel thirsty and I drink lots of water.

During winter and rainy season, I don't drink water at all. Might sound strange but that's what I have been doing for several years.

Because the experts have made us to understand the benefits of drinking water so that is why i always ensure that i drink enough water daily,i am a kind of person that i normally do not like drinking

plenty of water but because i know the benefits of drinking so much water so that is why i had to

force myself to drink at least five cups of clean water daily,you will noticed that i said “clean

water” because some waters can be dirty which is bad for the human health...

I recommend that a normal human being should drink about 2-5 liters a day.
Generally we should drink that amount of water for which our urine would be white and not yellow, that the ideal one.
Excess drinking of water also result in brain problems.

White water is no doubt beneficial for maintaining the body's health. Because mineral water can detoxify or remove toxins from the body. Drinking water will also make all the members of the body works to its full potential, increased body temperature will drop, as well as help lose weight because water will make your stomach feel full.

Many health research which suggested that we drink 8 glasses of water per day. That number is considered fit to meet drinking water needs

I try to drink at least 8 glasses per day. I generally drink my water ice cold even in the winter. Drinking a glass of ice cold will burn about 100 calories.
