i have head of this equation for the proper amount of water for the body under normal conditions take you body weight divide it in half then divide this by 8 and this is the amount of 8 ounce glasses your body need under regular conditins you have to add more during working out, or high temperature etc. hope this helps. too much water can cause problems also.
there is A LOT of recent news from the medical community that 8 glasses a day is not necessary. The general rule of thumb is to go by the color of your urine (sorry to be crude)....if your urine is bright yellow then you need more water. If it's a light yellow to clear then you are getting enough. Just remember to drink more if your exercise heavily as you will sweat out a lot of fluids. Hope this helps!
Of course. You should have 8 - 8oz. cups of water or 64oz. of water throughout the day in a 24 hour period. I wouldn't recommend drinking all 64oz. at one time.
Popular culture is loaded with myths and half-truths. Most are
harmless. But when doctors start believing medical myths, perhaps it's time to worry.
In the British Medical Journal this week, researchers looked into several common misconceptions, one of them being the belief that a person should drink eight glasses of water per day.
"We got fired up about this because we knew that physicians accepted these beliefs and were passing this information along to their patients," said Dr. Aaron Carroll, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "And these beliefs are frequently cited in the popular media."
Myth: You should drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
Fact: "There is no medical evidence to suggest that you need that much water," said Dr. Rachel Vreeman, a pediatrics research fellow at the university and co-author of the journal article. Vreeman thinks this myth can be traced back to a 1945 recommendation from the Nutrition Council that a person consume the equivalent of 8 glasses (64 ounces) of fluid a day. Over the years, "fluid" turned to water. But fruits and vegetables, plus coffee and other liquids, count.
