I know how important water is in our system but do really get the recommended amount everyday? I don't. I usually forget to drink water and and only remember to have some when i start feeling thirsty. They say thirst is already a sign of dehydration which only means you're not getting enough water. How many of you drink 8 glasses of water each day? How can I make it a habit to do so?

I used to be just like you who can't complete eight glasses of water daily. But ever since I observed that my skin has wrinkled, particularly in my arms and hands), I made it a point to drink eight glasses of water or more everyday. Here in the office, I have a steady glass on my table. I try to drink six glasses of water while I'm here in the office, which is about nine hours, excluding soups. By the way, I guess you know that drinking soups is also beneficial and could be counted for the recommended daily amount of water which our body needs. Aside from this, fruit juices is a great addition. I guess it also helps that you should avoid drinking carbonated colas. In my case, I'm not really a soda lover; health-wise and money-wise. Though I drink colas on a few occasions. Hope this helps. God bless and take a lot of care.

I drink about 6 glasses a day. That is totaly enough for me. Sometimes I drink juice all day and I forget about water. But it is too a drink and it has vitamins too. So drinking both juice and water is ok. But 8 glasses... no

I drink soo much water. I could easliy go through a gallon a day.I probably started this habit because I grew up in very a hot climate.
