Hydration and You
The health recommendation to drink six to eight glasses of water a day is “thoroughly debunked nonsense,” a doctor wrote this week in a commentary in the British Medical Journal.
Many health departments and organizations tout the need to drink that much water every day, but there is no high-quality scientific evidence to support the recommendation, wrote Dr. Margaret McCartney, a general practitioner based in Scotland.
While there may not be any hard scientific evidence that truly supports drinking 8 glasses of water a day, it’s still good to listen to your body when it needs to rehydrate.
