Do We Need Eight Glasses of Water a Day?
Do you know where the idea of drinking eight glasses of water per day came from? Neither does anyone else.
Yet many nutritionists, weight-loss experts and general health gurus claim we must drink that much every day. I certainly tried to do it. I would drink coffee in the morning, then maybe force down a glass of water. By the time I had sweet tea with lunch, I was not thirsty but would try to choke down two more glasses of water in the afternoon.
By the time I had a glass of wine and more tea for supper, I was full – and facing five more glasses of water! I just could not do it day in and day out. I know many of you can, and I’m proud of you. But for the rest of us who wallow in guilt, there is good news.
