Well According to the surveys One should drink appropriate water for his/her health and skin maintanence. First of all, in the morning one should drink 1 litre of water (before brushing teeth) which prevents skin allergies. After that in whole day, one should drink 2-3 litres of water to prevent diseases related to stomach and excretory system. The more is the quantity of water in the body, the less will be diseases. Appropriate amount of water keeps the immune system of the body fit. Because wastage is taken out of the body through water only in the form of urine.
