How much water intake is good for health?

Our body contains 70% of the water in it, so you can image how much water is essential. We have 5-6 litres of blood to be purified daily at the same time if we give an individual approach to it, then you can do this calculation.

Convert your body weight in pounds divided by 2= Water intake in (oz)

Remember the units are in pounds and oz, you can convert the oz in litres, a simple calculation to get accurate water intake. It does vary from your physical activity, as this shows for average activity water intake.

Thank you

Dear health seeker Shaoli,

WATER DRINKING
In today's scenario, most people do not know when & how much water one needs for drinking. Lots of myths are doing rounds in society. Nature -cure has a definitive answer to this. Water is a basic need for living. Water is being constantly eliminated from the body through urine, sweat, the faeces, and the outgoing breath.

When the body needs water it is indicated by the sensation of thirst. For regaining health, as also for retaining it progressively improving the health level, one must know when & when not to drink water, the quantity of water each time etc. Take water just to satisfy your internal requirements. If anyone advises u to drink daily 8 to 10 glasses of water, do not believe it & blindly follow it It is NOT FOR THE THIRD PERSON TO INDICATE HOW MUCH WATER U SHOULD DRINK. Improve your health level, follow your true instincts & take in the minimum that is needed. THAT IS THE GOLDEN rule. If the formula feeding which goes by the name of 'calorie theory'' is wrong, this water drinking fad that everyone must take a specific quantity daily is equally wrong. Dismiss such ''authorities ''--whether they call themselves; Yogies'' or ''naturopaths or medical 'authority [doctor]. Ice-cold water must not be drunk, as it will disturb the digestion. Water should be cool but not cold. Clean, unchlorinated unmedicated, water stored in earthen pots is best from the viewpoint of health, water stored in plastic cans [of suspect quality, which mostly are of] will be detrimental to health.

Fresh, cool water has a pleasant taste of its own. The ''taste' of water is THE ESSENCE OF SOUL. In the BHAGWAD GITA, BHAGWAN KRISHNA SAYS;-''RASSOHAMPSU KONTEIYA'' ----O ARJUNA I am the taste in water''. If water is heated or boiled it becomes insipid. From the health point of view, it is unwise to take hot water or hot water-cooled. There is only one drink in the entire world and that is water. All other so-called drinks are either foods or poisons. Tea, coffee, the cold drinks, ''soft drinks'' the alcoholic beverages [beer, hard drinks],etc., are poisons. Fresh [not bottled] fruit juices, raw vegetable juices fresh milk, buttermilk etc., are all foods. Too much water -drinking would tax the eliminatory organs, it would weaken the individual, may add to the bodyweight considerably, disturb digestion and create other complications. Hence, water should not be over consumed. If anyone consumes fried food, or foods highly spiced with salt in excess and other condiments, if there is little or no vegetables taken with the meals, artificial thirst will be and is created and If the diet is reformed, on NATURE-CURE lines the need to drink an enormous quantity of water could be considerably reduced. Water should not be taken along with the meals, ideally speaking water could be taken an hour before the meals and 2 hours after meals.

According to the father of Nature Cure Acharya K l Sarma, vegetarians need very little or insignificant amount of water for drinking.

It is comprehended that above information clears your query.

Maximum 8 to 10 glass in a day.

It's best not to wait until you are thirsty to drink water. By that time the body would look for external water sources to hydrate itself. It's best to drink about 3-4 lts per day and more from bioavailable sources such as fruits, vegetables and greens. This is a lifestyle change. Always start your day with a big glass of liquid to flush the GUT after the night long repair work. This aids in cleaner eliminations.

Thanks and be blessed

But each body’s needs are different. Kids & sportsman or people living in arid climate need more water than others.
