We have all heard that we are supposed to drink 8 cups of water a day or 64 oz. But where did this number come from? There is a lot of debate about that topic and now, research has shown that 8 cups may not be the number for you.
So, how much water should you drink? Well, that depends on your level of activity and other factors, but a good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in water. So, if you weigh 200 pounds, then you should drink AT LEAST 100 ounces of water per day. Check with your doctor and find out what he or she recommends for you.
