10-12 Glasses of Water Everyday For A Healthy You

[Taggart]

I think that I'm less likely to have sore feet while standing a long time if I remain hydrated.

It's hard to say for sure, but there have been days at work when I've avoided drinking water to reduce the need to relieve my kidneys when there wasn't a washroom on site. And there are other days when that's not a concern and I drink plenty of water. I seem to have less feet problems when I'm drinking more water.

Has anyone else found that?

If I'm not mistaken, things like leg cramps can be a problem with dehydration (especially during the night)... so they seem to be connected, yes indeed.

In the modern world people seem unaware that when we are thirsty the only thing our bodies are asking for is water.

Often if we are hungry and shouldn't be, it's thirst. So if you are suddenly hungry, drink some water to see if that helps.

I've heard this, too, and it seems to be true for a lot of people. I usually have a bottle of water right beside me so I don't give myself enough time to be thirsty.

I believe that it differs on our size. If you are big then you need to take 10 or more glasses. If you’re small then you might want to take fewer glasses.

That's interesting... I don't think I've ever heard of this recommendation changing because of someone's size. I think we just need to remember to drink plenty of water and not worry so much about counting the number of glasses we drink in a day.
