What significance does drinking water have on the body? I am constantly told I do not drink enough water (I don't drink it at all, only on occasion), and I have many medical conditions that just don't seem to clear up. Is it the water I am "not" drinking???

Optimum health is not achieved simply by drinking water. You should be consuming around 72 ounces (of purified, not tap) water per day, typically. If you really are serious about optimum health, you have to look at your diet and exercise routine as well. You also might want to look into a supplement program. The right ones can work wonders. You didn't mention what medical conditions, so I can only offer general suggestions. §

It seems that you do not drink enough water daily, You need , it is recommended that you drink at least 8 glasses daily. Juices or tea can count towards your daily requirement.
You do not say however what conditions you presently have.
You may develop certain troubles if you do not get sufficient water in your body.For a healthy skin and helping your digestive system you will need plenty of water. You may other symptoms like constipation , kidney trouble.Drink in between meals I would suggest.
Start changing your life style and see your health improve day by day. but keep it up.
You will be surprised about the results ... come back and tell me.

Over 75% of the human body is made up by water which needs to be replenished daily the recommended amount is 8 cups a day that's eight, 8 oz. glasses a day. With out proper hydration the body starts to shut it's self down.

Why don't you drink water? It flushes toxins from your body and promotes kidney, liver and urinary tract health . Just buy chilled spring water it tastes nice at least drink 1.5 litres if you cant drink the recommended 2L per day.

8 glasses of water. Each glass is about 300ml. This is equal to about 2.4 litres everyday.

your body needs a gallon of water a day. water helps to flush
out impurities from your body. too much water can not hurt you
but too little water can.

8 glasses a day is good. It cleanses the insides :)
