I know that this is a minimum standard to drink 8 glass of water per day. It is just so hard for me, sometimes I dont remember to drink water except after meals. What about you? How do you remind yourself to drink 8 glass per day?..

Do you think it is a minimum standard to drink 8 glasses of water a day? I used to think that, and I thought it was good advice. I saw a programme recently that clearly stated that it is a myth. According to the programme, we need to take in the equivalent of 8 glasses of water per day, but that can include water in coffee, tea, fruit drinks or in vegetables or other foods which contain water. It is not essential, according to this programme to take in 8 glasses of water a day, and it won't actually have any additional benefits. Of course, drinking water is good for you and it is important to replenish those fluids but if you are drinking 3 or 4 glasses of water per day then you are still probably getting the right amount, because the rest will be ingested through foods and other drinks anyway. The most important thing

is to make sure that you are drinking enough to replenish to fluids. That's what I learned anyway.

I do not know how much water i drink for one day,because i never care about it.Every day i put a bottle on my desk so i drink it for anytimes.Maybe you can try like this,put the glass somewhere you can see in anytimes,so when you see it you will be know you should drink water.

i dont thing it is a worrying factor .though it is extremely important to drink sufficent water once in awhile even if you make some less doent cause any problems.i think instead of drinking 8 glasses a day .i would say drink when ever you are thirsty and eat food when ever you feel hunger.dotn drink water along with the food .the water will dilute the digestive juices and delay the digestion .take half and hour before and one hour after food.chew food thoroughly and drink it instead eating it.drink water if you are thirsty.

Well I am like you I forget and even though I know that you are suppose to have water I truly prefer something with sugar in it. But I do drink 4 to 8 glass a day more in the summer because its hot.

I drink an average of 5 glasses a day. I've been meaning to drink at least 8 but I have yet to really train my system to do this. What I do is always keep a bottle of water handy and always within reach. Even when I'm on the computer or in my room or watching television, I keep that bottle always handy and always refilled.

These days the weather is hot. So i have to drink water to stay dehydrated. taking less water only will cause my skin dry and not good for the body..

Yes,I drink eight glasses and even more.It helps to flush out the toxins and keeps the skin healthy and glowing.Drinking enough water is good for kidneys too.It is calorie less,so one can take as much as one wants without having to bother about weight gain.
