This month we are trying to find out how much water are you drinking, and what your favorite way to hydrate is.
​
The body is about 60% water, give or take.
​
You are constantly losing water from your body, primarily via urine and sweat. To prevent dehydration, you need to drink adequate amounts of water.
​
There are many different opinions on how much water you should be drinking every day.
Health authorities commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. This is called the 8×8 rule and is very easy to remember.
​
However, some health gurus believe that you need to sip on water constantly throughout the day, even when you’re not thirsty.
​
As with most things, this depends on the individual. Many factors (both internal and external) ultimately affect your need for water.
​
Take our survey and tell us how you like to hydrate!
