Water: How much should you drink every day?

Came across this information in yahoo health and thought of sharing it with you all..

Water: How much should you drink every day? - Nutrition & Food on Yahoo! Health

It clearly says how much of water our body needs everyday and how important water is for our internal system.

Thanks for the very useful information, Geetha.
I am advising my children to do the same as I am drinking atleast 6 cups of water a day.

Thanks for sharing this info....

Dear Geetha,
I just want to share my experience.
I went to a dietician in Dec last, to seek her help to knock off a few kilos.
She first advised that minimum1.5-2 litres of water must be consumed everyday, to help dieting. Minimum 500 ml, if not a little more, is a must as soon as you wake up, before coffee. The middle cup of water is mixed woth lime juice - no honey, note.
I literally struggled to drink so much of water, to start with. But I consciouly forced that habit on myself. Now, I am able to drink minimum 2 lts everyday with ease. I strongly feel, it helps us keep our weight under control.
If I fail to drink plenty of water for 2-3 days, I definitely see a marginal increase in my weight. So, I "rush back" to my water-drinking habit !
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Mrs. Chitvish,

I have read that water is good for flushing the toxins from our body and for good skin. But I didn't know that it also helps control weight. Thats a very good tip. Thankyou.

I find it difficult to drink .5 ltrs every morning in empty stomach. As of now, I have slowly made it .25 ltrs. Hopefully I should increase it to .5 ltrs. I felt that warming it up for a few seconds in the microwave helped a little.

Thanks,
Geetha
