A member asked:

How much water should i consume daily in order to be healthy and loose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As dictated by Thirs: Let your thirst dictate it. You do not need to drink more than 3-4 glasses in a day unless you work in a hot and sweaty environment. In that case you will feel more thirsty. Excess of water drinking can create new problems that you do not need!
