HI Bala,
I take very little water, well below the recommended value. I harsly take 1 lts daily, which is very little. My mom keeps insisting on taking moe. When at home I make sure but in office it just goes out my head. I feel, it's very important to consume 2-3 lts daily, specially for women. This way they can lessen the risk of UTI and stones in abdomen.
Thanks.

About 70% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water per day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors.
Will you start taking adequate water after reading this.My water also need coaxing to take enough water.

I drink straight from a bottle of mineral water - generally its two to three 1000 ml bottles in the day time and half to one bottle during the night.
Why limit yourself to seven to eight glasses (A glass is generally 250 to 300 ml)?

Nope! My consumption of water consists in the form of ice in my drink or carbonated water. ha ha Hardly do I have straight water. I even prefer iced tea to straight water. So, if you will count what is made from water, sure, I drink plenty! ha ha
But if I have to say just water....nope! Not happening. I don't live in my home state and don't like the taste of the water here.

I think lately, i am going beyond that because I feel thirsty most of the time because it is so hot here in our country nowadays. So water is and should always be at reach. Yes, we should obligue ourselves to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day since it is required to amintain physical health.

hi. i always take 3-4 cup of water, it is a little small, but the problem of drinking more water is that you have to pee every 30 minutes.of couse, how many i take also depends on weather, if it is hot, and i perspire much i will drink more water. in addition, i never take water before going to bed, drink a mouth of water can make me disturbing because afraid of peeing in the midnight.

I try to drink as much water as I can in a day, but when I think about it is always when it's the end of the day and I say "I should have......". And then I just say that I'll do it the next day, then the next. When it gets down to it, I have the lame excuse of being "Too busy to remember."
