It is best to drink 8 glasses of water everyday even if you get some liquid from your food.

Hi Prinzz,
Yes, you must drink a minimum of 8 six-ounces of water daily. It's an old idea that we could get the water we needed out of the food, coffee, juice, etc. Since that idea was promoted science has done a lot of research, and demonstrated that we do need to drink lots of water, daily.
To determine the specific amount of water you need, take your weight in pounds, divide it by 2, and drink that many ounces of water a day. Other fluids will not replace or supply the necessary water.

Basically, i drink ALOT of water and i find that drinking 8 glasses of water can be quite difficult. Yes it does clean out your system and yes you can get water out of food but not nearly as much as you should have. I drink on average a litre a day and i feel so much healthier! I myself would just do half and half! 1 liter from water, and leave the other liter from food! but it wont be a litre in food though remember, just drinks as your eating and things should make it up x

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at http://www.get2itnow.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 6.99$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!

I saw a Doctor because I wasn't drinking enough. She said that you should have atleast 8 glasses a day but they can come from water obviously, smoothies, orange juice. But she did mention that a piece of fruit contains a a glass of water because fruit is mostly water based.

Your body functions better when porperly hydrated but I don't think you actually need to count how many glasses you drink. Just stay hydrated throughout the day and you'll be just as healthy as the freak measuring how many tablespoons of water he drinks.

by drinking alot of water, it cleans out your system and flushes out some excess fat. it's also a good way to lose weight. drinking lots of water will make you feel full and have you eat less.

The second, especialy if you live in a hot climate, where the ned for water is more pressing
