Everyone has different water intake requirements. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces daily. For example, if you weight 100 lbs, convention would suggest you drink at least 50oz (one 1.5 liter) daily. Your level of activity, environment, diet and stress levels should be taken into consideration, as all of these determine your water intake requirement. See similar questions...

This process takes time and results in a backup of ingested water, giving this bloated sensation. Essentia Water has a lower surface tension giving the water a characteristic described as “silky” by those drinking it. See similar questions...

We get water from all of the foods and beverages in our diet. Eight glasses (8 oz each), or two quarts, is a good rule of thumb; however, new recommendations suggest using thirst as the guideline for how much fluid to drink each day. Individual fluid needs vary from person to person. Pay attention to thirst as well as the color and odor of your urine. Dry mouth and concentrated (dark) urine are good indicators that you need more fluids. See similar questions...

estimated 75 - 90 percent of ingested fluoride is absorbed by the alimentary tract (NRC 1993). Fluoride in drinking-water accounts for about half of the total intake in young children and half the total intake in adults (NHMRC 1991). The rest of the intake is from dietary sources, especially from tea, which contains fluoride in the range of 1 - 3 ppm (Murray et al 1991). Some heavy tea drinkers may even have intakes of 8 - 10 mg/day (refer to Water Fluoridation In New Zealand). See similar questions...

Our daily need of water is mainly covered through drinking. On a daily basis we need to drink about 1,5 - 2 litres of water. Foodstuffs that have high moisture contents also contribute to our water supply. With our food we absorb about 1 litre of water a day. Our total required amount of water is 2,5 litres a day. If we drink enough water and eat enough water-containing food, this should not be a problem. How much water we drink is determined by our habits, not by thirst. See similar questions...
