2-2.5 liters a day is my suggestion!
"The benefit of drinking water in elimination of body wastes and toxins
Our organs are made of cells. The cells are made of and live in a water solution. Our blood also is mostly water and serves to dissolve, process and transport nutrients, and eliminate waste materials. With lack of water in our system, the blood becomes thick and saturated (meaning, it will not be able to flow properly). The wastes and toxins are stored in the area around the cells while waiting to be washed away. Over time, these accumulate and begins to resemble a toxic waste dump. Since the cells cannot have the proper oxygenation and nutrition, they begin to change in form and function in order to survive. The end stage of this process results in the cells not resembling normal cells at all, and they continue living by means of fermentation rather than the normal oxidative mechanisms. This causes all sorts of diseases (including cancer).
The benefit of drinking water in maintaining the body Ph balance in order to prevent and cure disease.
The aging process is basically the accumulation of acidic wastes built up within the body. The nutrients that we deliver to our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes through urine and perspiration. So the more water we take into our system, the better (and more efficient) our body dispels these acidic wastes.
The benefit of drinking water in lubricating internal organs and joints
Water keeps our organs and joints moist. This permits the passage of nutrients and wastes between the joints and blood vessels and the rest of the body. Arthritis - is a signal of water shortage in the painful joint. It can affect the young as well as the old. The use of painkillers does not cure the problem, but exposes the person to further damage from pain medications.
The benefit of drinking water for skin health
Skin health is just the reflection of our internal health. Any dermatologist can tell what part of your body is affected just by looking at your skin. Hydration and detoxification starts inside and continues to the outside of your skin. So, keeping a beautiful healthy looking skin is a side benefit of drinking water.
The benefit of drinking water for eye health
Recently I had an eye examination. The doctor told me that our cornea is made up of 80% water. Working long hours on the computer makes the eyes dry. Just closing the eyes for a few seconds every hour and blinking frequently allows liquid from the tear glands to moisturize and lubricate the cornea. He also recommended regular drinking of water for good eye health.
The benefit of drinking water to lose weight
Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single-most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most of us take for granted, water may be the only true “magic potion” for permanent weight loss.
Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.
Here’s why: The kidneys can’t function properly without enough water. When they don’t work to capacity, some of their load is dumped onto the liver. One of the liver’s primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for the body. But if the liver has to do some of the kidney’s work it can’t operate at full throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat more fat remains stored in the body and weight loss stops.
The overweight person needs more water than a thin one. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that water is the key to fat metabolism, it follows that the over-weight person needs more water.
The benefit of drinking water in muscle tone
Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weigh loss — shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.
The benefit of drinking water in constipation
Water can help relieve constipation. When the body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary source. Result? Constipation. But when a person drinks enough water, normal bowel function usually returns."
THE BREAKTHROUGH POINT
When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, its fluids are perfectly balanced. When this happens, you have reached the “breakthrough point.” What does this mean?
* Endocrine-gland function improves.
* Fluid retention is alleviated as stored water is lost.
* More fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat.
* Natural thirst returns.
* There is a loss of hunger almost overnight.
If you stop drinking enough water, your body fluids will be thrown out of balance again, and you may experience fluid retention, unexplained weight gain and loss of thirst. To remedy the situation you’ll have to go back and force another “breakthrough.”
The problem is that, though many decide to increase their water intake, very few stick with it. It’s understandable. During the first few days of drinking more water than your body is accustomed to, you’re running to the bathroom constantly*. This can be very discouraging, and it can certainly interfere with an otherwise normal day at work. It seems that the water is coming out just as fast as it’s going in, and many people decide that their new hydration habit is fruitless.
Do take heart, though. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of “survival mode”. It takes a while, but this is a beautiful thing happening to you. As you continue to give your body all the water it could ask for, it gets rid of what it doesn’t need. It gets rid of the water it was holding onto in your ankles and your hips and thighs, maybe even around your belly. You are excreting much more than you realize. Your body figures it doesn’t need to save these stores anymore; it’s trusting that the water will keep coming, and if it does, eventually, the flushing (of both the body and the potty) will cease, allowing the human to return to a normal life. It’s true. This is called the “breakthrough point.”
* I experienced this and I got scared, because at the time I didn't know what was happening! However, a week or so later I go to the toilet just a couple of times a day although I drink the same (insane ) amount of water
