Health Benefits of Water

The common belief is that you must drink eight, eight-ounce glasses of water daily to stay healthy.  In fact, health magazines or websites all seem to promote this thought.  As a matter of fact, this age-old suggestion to drink eight glasses of water a day was simply a guideline and not based on any scientific evidence.  We see many people carrying around bottled water, and, where pop was once a staple in everyone’s diet, water has now superseded soda or pop, even Gatorade, which many use to replenish fluids and electrolytes that are lost during intense exercise sessions.
