A new study has revealed that we might not need to drink eight glasses of water a day. Here's what you need to know about how much water to drink per day.
A recent study, published in Science, found that the recommended eight glasses of water were more than the required amount
A new study headed by Professor John Speakman from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the University of Aberdeen has shown that the suggested water intake of eight 8-oz glasses of water daily (nearly 2 L/day) is too high for the real need in several situations.
The research stated that people only require about 1.5 to 1.8 litres a day, lower than the two litres typically recommended.
A research of thousands of people has found a significant difference in the amount of water people consume around the world and throughout their lives, clearly refuting the oft-repeated concept that eight, 8-ounce glasses of water cover the human body's daily needs.
