Since childhood, we have been told to drink lots of water if we wish to stay strong and healthy. This advice is commonly seen in articles about weight loss, health, and beauty.
There is no denying the fact that water is vital to maintaining a healthy body. The body utilizes water to flush out toxins and provide optimal conditions for major organ function. That is why it is important to drink sufficient amounts of water every day. Culligan of New York and Long Island is here to help local residents do just that.
How Much Water Should You Drink?
We have heard time and time again that eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day is ideal (this is equivalent to two liters, or half of one gallon). This recommendation can vary by person.
According to scientific research, ideal levels of water consumption may vary depending on age, gender, physical activity, and illness. According to the Mayo Clinic, the current daily recommendation for adults (older than 18 years old) may even be as high as 15.5 cups for men and 11.5 cups for women. The daily water intake recommendation is even higher for women who are pregnant or nursing. But, you will want to consult with your doctor regarding daily volume.
