Water is crucial for the human body. It helps regulate temperature, transports nutrients, flushes waste, and lubricates joints. In fact, up to 60 percent of the human body is made of water. But while humans certainly need to stay hydrated, the idea that everyone should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day is not necessarily true.
Some experts suggest 8 glasses, others 2 litres
This is not a state where one cap fits all.
Every human body has its own characteristics, and requires a different measure.
A simple way is to drink as much water as is needed to ensure an easy soft flush out.
Less water hardens the waste, and this causes issues of constipation.
Excess water dilutes the different acids, system generated, to digest foods.
Dilution will hamper the breakdown of food and create its own set of complications.
So next time you drink water, decide how much you need
to have a soft flush. This could be a good indicator.
You can also get a clue from the colour of your urine. Dark yellow or orange urine usually indicates dehydration. Well-hydrated urine should look pale yellow or colourless.
