Bonus: Why Drinking More Water is Necessary For You?
We all drink water daily, but we don’t take it much seriously. Most of the time, we forget to drink water for hours while working or doing some activity. But every person should drink a glass of water for 1-1.5 hours regularly a day.
If you don’t drink enough water, your body will be unhydrated, and by the time you realize it, you will start facing medical issues like regular stomach aches, kidney stones, etc.
According to the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, & Medicine, an adequate water intake for men is 3.7L for men and 2.7L for women. So, to keep your body healthy and hydrated, you should drink regular water daily.
