Many people believed they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts suggest people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much as water they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from one Institute of Medicine, which provides and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says women should get about 2. 7 liters of water daily and men about 3. 7 liters. But wait – in each case, that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it maybe impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.
