Are you drinking what you need?

How much water are you able to drink in a day? I make sure to drink at least 3-4 liters of water everyday or more. I was advised by my doctor to keep hydrated to help my system flush excess uric acid efficiently. My recent blood chemistry showed high levels of uric acid. I was not given any medications but to only drink lots of water and avoid purine rich foods. My creatinine is normal. My kidneys are okay. Other tests were normal too. My cholesterol levels though was slightly higher than normal. Well, anyways, it all boils down to the importance of drinking lots of water or enough water everyday according to your health, other factors and individual needs. Just staying hydrated helps keep us healthy and away from certain diseases. Though water is not the only factor to stay hydrated, ( there are other fluids, liquids as well and fruits) it does basically and still start with water. Some people though may prefer flavored water or liquids to make drinking more interesting. But I for one, is contented with just plain water. If I want something with a little flavor, I drink infused water instead. Most of the times, its lemons and cucumbers that I add to my water or some other fruits too to my liking.
