Answer 1

Correct answer is: minimum of 8 8 oz glasses (not cups) = 64 oz. on top of what you drink with meals and snacks. Your body is 75% water and every cell needs it to function properly. Don't drink too much water at one time as you will dehydrate or overhydrate yourself -- one takes the water out of your cells the other over-inflates your cells, especially in your brain and people who are running / walking in marathons (and the like) who get water at every stop have died from too much water. Don't mess with your health -- anything if not done properly can be lethal.

Example: Soy protein is supposed to be very good for you -- I switched to soy everything and alternated organic cow's milk with soy because soy has no calcium and must be fortified -- however, I have O negative blood and I should stay away from soy everything because now I have Graves disease (hyperthyroidism which is an auto immune disease -- lost about a pound a day until they figured-out what was going on).

Don't just read something in the newspaper or hear something from someone and make drastic changes in your eating habits without talking to a doctor or nutritionist. Nearly every answer here was different and we were talking about the basic essential -- water.

Be safe!!

Answer 2

Your suppose to have 6-8 servings of water a day.

A serving is the size of your fist. That also goes for servings of food too - a serving is different for everyone so the size of your fist. So if you get 6 glasses a day great. Even flavoured water without sugar for example 'crystal lite' which my diabetic boyfriend drinks and so do I counts as drinking a glass of water. Keep a bottle of water buy your side and try to drink your 6-8 glasses a day! Try to stay away from pop, it dries your skin, I have a hard time with that one. Enjoy! Drink up!

Answer 3

I know most people say you're supposed to drink 8 cups of water a day but that's not exactly true. You're supposed to INTAKE 8 cups of water a day. Remember that certain foods contain water (fruits and vegetables, for example.) If you're drinking 8 cups of water a day you're probably taking in too much water.

Answer 4

I was told you are suppose to drink at least 64 ounces of water. I also read that drinking too much water can be bad for the kidneys, it makes them work too hard. Sense they are a sensitive organ, the wear out fast. I also had a nutritionist tell me the more water you drink it helps the body to naturally burn fat...so from those suggestions you choose what's best for you.

Answer 5

8 cups of water. if you are not sure how much a cup is, use a measuring cup.

And why does drinking too much water be bad for your health? If you're young without any disease or anything, it's better to drink more than less.

Answer 6

Eight 8oz glasses a day but that usually leaves me thirsty so you can drink more but no more than 30oz in a hour or that will have to much water surrounding the brain.

Answer 7

8 glasses a day

Answer 8

Six to eight glasses of water a day unless illness or diet restricts the amount. You are also getting fluid in other forms of food or liquid! Peace!

Answer 9

8 glasses a day

Answer 10

to stay healthy you should drink an average of at least 8 glasses of water per day. around 2 liters. if you drink too much at one time, it could dilute your blood and can be fatal.
