I am trying to get fit for the summer, and was wondering what the right amount of water was to drink everyday

They say 1.5-2 litres.
But I’ve also heard that is all a load of bollocks. You don’t need to drink that much water.
I say try drink around 1.5 litres. Being dehydrated can lower your energy levels by 20%

I stick to the ‘8 glasses a day’ rule, and I swear by it!

Drinking enough water is an essential part of keeping you body healthy. Everyday activities, like breathing, sweating or going to the toilet take water out of your body, so you have to replace that water.

Everyone’s water needs are different, but the 8 glasses a day rule is a pretty good guide.

I find the best way for me to keep on top of my water intake is to always keep a sipper bottle with me at all times, so i’ve got no excuses!

Tx

eerrr… so how many glasses does a sipper bottle take? and are you , like ultra-healthy from all the water you drink?

Apart from staying hydrated and feeling healthy, I always notice my skin and eyes are heaps clearer when I’m drinking my 8 a day. It flushes out al those toxins I guess!

Good point! If you’re using something like a pump or h2go bottle (the 750ml kind) I say set your goal at at least 2 a day and you’ll be in good shape!

1 cup in cooking is 250 ml so an average sipper bottle is 3 cups.  I have at least 6 in my fridge and use them throughout the day, as I empty one I fill it and put it at the end of the row.  I find it so much easier to go through one of these than a big jug or bottle.

Just remember even though they say the bottled water is healthy is might have flavours etc that are not good for you.  Also buying a new bottle is a waste of money and the enviroment.

I drink three litres of water or as the nutritionist says “water substitute” a day. Water substitute is caffiene free and sugar free drink. So tea, coffee, V (even sugar free) and full bag soft drinks don’t count (neither does alcohol)!
It actually aids in weight loss Sometimes when people are thirsty they mistake it for hunger

I keep a normal sized pump bottle with me at all times and I drink about 5 or 6 bottles full of water a day.

they did a test with twins one drank 2 litres of water a day the other didn’t and in the end there blood tests came back pretty much the same.

ur ment to have 6 glases a day if your a kid
8 if ur an adult
(i dont know how old kid or adult is)

8 glasses is best!

You guys that drink water are so good lol. I am really bad and don’t drink water at all . One of my things I need to do this year (among all the others things ot improve my life)

i think it would depend on the weather as we need more water on really hot days when we perspire more than on cooler days, but on average 3litres per day is a general guide

oh… that’s why i’m so unhealthy….......
i don’t drink enough water…. :\
I drink one or two. I really should get drinking!

Yeah i say 8 glsses a day cause washes all the toxins out of your body and clenses you from the inside
