Elodie.Landerson 7 Posted December 3, 2012 A good figure that specifically states the amount of Water you should intake on a daily basis is an ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight. A person with an average body size should devour about 64 ounces daily- that means about eight glasses capable of holding 8 ounces of water each. If you are on a physical work out mode, you should drink water before during and after the hours of exercise. And if you are on a special diet to lose weight, then it is absolutely necessary that you drink a lot of water throughout the day, without any exception. You must not break this rule, since the water will keep you on your balanced toes, or else you will weaken so as to not be able to stand under all the pressure of daily hassles any more. If you cannot drink pure water, you can opt for fruits. Fruits are high in water content, and they also contain a lot of useful Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that can help you to gain a lot of vital energy in life. You can also drink the fruit juice which will satisfy your thirst and also offer the water that your body needs desperately at all times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted December 3, 2012 My doctor suggested 8 glasses or 64 ounces of Water daily. I probably drink 32 ounces of water, 8 oz of Crystal light, 2 cups coffee and 2 Protein Shakes, 1 at Breakfast and 1 at lunch. My shakes are 11oz each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted December 3, 2012 Substitute fruit for Water? Now there is a new one..the average calories in a piece of fruit is around 100...and full of sugar. Granted its the good kind but still. How much fruit would we need to eat if we weren't drinking Water? 2 Elodie.Landerson and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted December 3, 2012 I'm with Floridays! Plus I was told to drink fruit juice occasionally and to mix it 50/50 with Water b/c of sugar content. I choose not to drink fruit juice at all and sticking with water. 2 2muchfun and Elodie.Landerson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summerrain 520 Posted December 3, 2012 I drink two litres per day (8 glasses) more in hot weather. I have a pop top type bottle that is a permanent attachment now and take it everywhere. 1 Elodie.Landerson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4sweeties 63 Posted December 5, 2012 I'm not sure if I'd do the fruit but I have heard of it from my daughter's pediatrician. Fruit does help hydrate because of the high Water content. When my daughter was a toddler she did not drink more than a few oz a day total (of anything). She would get dehydrated and end up in the hospital- especially if she was sick the dehydration would kick in quicker. We were told if she likes to eat fresh fruit, encourage it as has a lot of water and will help keep her hydrated. It really did help hydrate her. Of course we were not worried about calories or sugar but about getting her hydrated to help digestion problems, tiredness and IVs to rehydrate. 1 Elodie.Landerson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
