Drink Plenty of Water, Stay Healthy - but how much? April 2, 2008
New research seems to indicate that drinking ‘excessive’ amounts of water every day can not be proven have any additional health benefits over drinking recommended levels, however it can also not be disproven. Traditionally, drinking high volumes of water has been recommended by those under-taking full body cleanses to help flush out toxins from your system. Although everyone agrees that drinking lots of clean, filtered water is good for you - the recommended volumes vary - with US guidelines suggesting near 2 litres (eight 8 oz glasses), and in the UK nearer 1.2 litres daily. Independent nutrition councils in the UK agree more with the US guidelines. So keep drinking plenty of water to stay healthy.
