Hi, I believe you all understand that water (pure water) is very good for our health. I habituate to drink at least 3 liters (approx 12 glasses) water every day. Once weak up every morning, after brush tooth, I will drink 2 glasses, and then 1 hour again I just drink a cup of coffee before go to office.
How about with you? do you also like to drink water? how many glasses (liters) do you drink everyday? Thanks for sharing. You all have a good day.
Best wishes,

I think I drink 1.5 liters to 2 liters of water a day. I have found out that drinking a glass of water before every meal helps in the digestion process and drinking a glass of water before going to bed helps prevent heart attack. I cant remember where I got that but I think it is a very helpful information. Maybe some of you, know it already.

I have to admit, I do not think I drink a lot of water daily. I should actually do that so I would feel much more better since I have always been sick due to not being healthy at all times in terms of what I eat and drink. I used to love drinking water but since I moved here, I have not been healthy thus this would be another resolution for me this year.

atkeya my doctor told me to be sure and drink from 8 to 10 glasses a day as that is enough for me, and as I am on lasix which causes you to urinate a lot, I know drink at least ten to 12 glasses a day. I am also to take a d aily potassium pill with the lasix and to take one multivitamin every single day. As I a good patient I do mind my doctor.

I don't drink much every day. I am usually having like 4-7 glasses of water daily. I also get liquids from food, or other drinks, like tea, coffee or juice.

This depends on your weight. General formula is weight multiply by 0.033 litre. Details in: http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/how-much-water-should-you-drink-a-day.html

Not nearly enough. I try to drink at least 16 oz of water a day, but sometimes even fall short of that. I do drink a lot of tea, but nothing takes the place of pure water. My goal is to drink at least 6 8 oz glasses of water a day.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make yourself drink more water?

Hey friend! This type of discussion was also started before by Buchi bulla with the subject 'How much water do you consume per day? Are you happy with it?" You are the second starter. Well, during summertime I take 12-13 glasses of normal water and 20-22 glasses of chilled water per day. During wintertime I take 12-13 glasses of water. Yes I agree with you that taking enough pure water is very good for health. And by taking so much quantity of water, I feel happy, comfortable and peaceful. Happy myLotting!

I don't drink water everyday like I should. I do drink it sometimes though. Its always in a bottle and I drink two usually. Anymore then I start to feel ill because my body doesn't always react to the water the way it should. Its more important for me to drink milk because that keeps my sugars from dropping too rappidly. So I don't drink it all that often, but often enough.

Hi Atleya!
I would really want drinking at least 8 glasses of water everyday a part of my life. However, I just can't do it. I don't know why I am not fond of drinking water. I could actually last a day without drinking any water. I would usually drink fruit juices, soda, fresh milk and canned juice. I usually drink water when I'm already very thirsty. I know that it is not a healthy lifestyle. That is why I am really tring my best to make it a habit to drink at least 8 glasses of watre everyday. Thanks for reminding me. The last time I drank water was yesterday afternoon. Maybe that is the reason I am feeling thirsty right now. I'll just get myself a glass of water. :) Have a nice day!

I generally aim to drink a gallon of liquids a day. This of course does depend somewhat on my activities on the given day, but it's a generaly guideline for me.
