So every time someone starts to exercise or join a weight loss program you hear "Drink lots of water" It only seemed from hydration at that point. However, it's much more. It's about every day health. Check out my blog to read more. I promise you it's information that will last a lifetime! http://momwithgoals.blogspot.com/

This is true. Its important to drink a lot of water a day. But the 8 glasses is just a generalized recoomendation. Not everyone should drink that many f glasses of water a day. Some less, some more it depends on the individule.
