Do you drink enough water daily?

[zentrix]

As you most probably know: Water is essential for life. Our body constitutes 60 to 70% water in form of various fluids. Water consummation should be increased when we get dry mouth, headache, little urine or urine infection, constipation or when we exercise, suffer from fever or diarrhea, vomiting, etc. It is usually advisable to drink about seven to eight glasses of water daily, that is one to two litres of water. What's your point of view on this matter?

I drink quite a bit of water. I have two water bottles when I am out and about, I always drink those. When I get home I have between three and hours cups of water that I drink before I got to bed. It is barely enough, but I am just trying my best.

I have around 6-8 glasses of water per day that makes upto 2 liters and i think that is a sufficient quantity for the metabolic processes in the body. I might be wrong, but have studied somewhere that drinking more than enough water can cause edema or swelling in some resting places of the body, so everything you do should be in a well controlled way.

I definitely don't drink nearly enough water. I drink mostly iced coffee and soda but recently I have been drinking atleast one glass of water a day.

I'm starting out small since I think water is absolutely disgusting but it's good for you and my body is in need.

Over the summer I drank tons of propel which is flavored water when I was bike riding and I'm thinking of switching back to it since it tastes better I will probably drink more.

I think I drink sufficient amount of water daily. I don't how many glasses per day though. Doctors said you need about eight glasses of water a day but I think it depends on your size and the activities you do. The bigger you are the more water you need. If you live an active lifestyle you'll also need more water too. You do know that people have died because they drank too much water right?

I definitely do not
Experts suggest 8 cups a day, I probably struggle to even reach 4 sadly
MY urine is always yellowish because of this, not too dark, but probably still a little more yellow than should be :<

Yes you are right water essential for human body... I take around 2.5 to 3 litres of water daily.. It is not only essential for your body but it also helps keep your skin soft and free from pimple or dark.. This has been proved and people who do not take enough water you better start taking observe changes on your skin....

Yeah, it's right that we need to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day, but that really is too much for non-water drinker like me. I'm fond of other fluids like soda, fruit juices, anything that is really flavored, except beer and other alcoholic beverages which I do refrain a little bit. When I started having UTIs, I was advised by the doctor to drink a lot of water or at least 6 glasses a day to help out in cleansing the system. It was really tough on me, I started out with 2-3 glasses of pure water a day and now am settling with around 9-10 glasses. Hurray to me!

I don't drink enough, and I know it. I used to, and I felt better, which is why it is so insane that I don't drink more now. I think if I had a filter I would drink much more, the truth is I can't stand the taste of the water here in my city, it is some of the worst in the state.

In fact, I think I will look into a filter this weekend. Hm...

Water is one drink which I have every half an hour....daily

The importance of water in maintaining the well-being of the health has been imbibed in my brain since very young age and hence it has become a sort of habit to drink water every now and then.

Whenever....my hands are free or my mind yearns for gaps from stress....I willingly or unwillingly look out for water to drink !!!

I normally drink alot of water. I don't actually count how many glasses per day, but I think it should be more than enough for me. Its a habit for me to have a bottle of water in my bag everywhere I go and I actually drink from the bottle when I'm at home too (its more convenient to do so).

I need water when I'm thinking (I think it helps me to replenish my brain) and I don't know why, but somehow, I find myself drinking lots of water when I'm working in front of the computer.

I heard that it isn't necessarily how much water you drink in terms of glasses or litres, but if you can maintain urine that is as clear as water -- this is an indication that you are drinking enough water. If your urine is dark unnatural colors of yellow and seems to be somewhat syrupy then you're not drinking enough water. I for one have a hard time drinking enough because of the unfortunate side effect of too much water -- but I have to admit, it does make any skin problems clear up--

drinking water is a must to remain healthy

one must drink around 1 litre of water everyday. this not only keeps him/her healthy but also helps him in looking good
the best time to drink a lot of water is when you wake up i.e early morning
it brings a glow on our face and keeps us away from diseases

[powerlifer]

Due to my chronic health issues of auto-intoxication its vital i drink a large amount of water or i feel even worse than i normally do.

I must drink about 6+ Evian bottles of water a day, my rule is if your pee ain't golden your good, the clearer the better.

Its essential to keep your organs hydrated, your liver and kidneys filtered and in turn you'll have better skin.

Enough? Not sure! Sometimes there are so workload that i don't get enough time for eating or drinking to relax. So, in hurry , i don't drink that much. But I try to be careful about it. Water is very important for human organ's functioning. Its a basic need. So, I try to drink a glass in about every hour.

I take about 5 to 7 glasses daily. But currently its winter time here, in India, so drinking much and necessary water is difficult.

its difficult to take water unwillingly during winters, but then, you can suffer from dehydration too, so I always try to drink as much water as possible. If not water, I always tend to drink at least two glasses of milk everyday (as milk also has 80 percent of water)
