Experts Still Don’t Agree About How Much Water We Need Daily #shorts

Water is the key to human life. It helps cells survive, it lubricates our joints and helps our metabolism, breathing, waste removal, and temperature regulation.

We can’t survive without it for longer than 3 days. And while scientists, doctors, public health authorities, dietitians, and nutritionists can agree on its importance, one critical question remains: How much water should we be drinking?

For years, we’ve heard that it would be best if humans had at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. Recently, two studies, published only months apart, resulted in a barrage of headlines about daily water intake, only furthering confusion.

“Why you don’t need to drink 8 cups of water a day” – The Washington Post, Dec. 6
“8 cups of water a day could be too much” — NPR, Dec. 7
