Staying hydrated is a necessity, especially with the warmer temperatures coming our way. But how much water should you drink? And why do you need to drink it?
Many recommend drinking 4-6 cups a day for healthy individuals. This need might change for those with certain health conditions such as thyroid, heart, or kidney problems, or certain medications.
Water is important for many of your body's functions, including:
- Carrying nutrients to your cells
- Aiding in digestion
- Normalizing blood pressure
- Maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance
