For optimum benefits, you must know how much water to drink in a day in liters.
Benefits of Drinking Water in Morning (Empty Stomach)
The most important benefit of drinking water is aid in weight reduction. Research shows that an increased water intake promotes weight loss by increasing the body metabolism (increases the number of calories the body burns).
It has also been established that people who drank 0.5 liters of water before meals were able to lose 44% more weight (over a period of 12 weeks) in comparison to the people who didn’t drink water at all (before meals).
It improves skin tone and complexion. Water helps the human body to flush out harmful toxins giving a healthier skin.
Drinking two cups of water increases the blood flow to the skin cells which improves the skin tone and complexion.
How Much Water to Drink in a Day
The recommended amount of water (on a daily basis) that you should drink is 3.7 litres for men and 2.7 litres of water for women.
Note that this includes all kinds of water beverages, water content in the fruits and vegetables. It has been suggested that drinking at least 8 glasses a day helps the body to flush out the toxins.
Also, lukewarm water is best for the skin and water with a pH balance ranging from 6.5-8.5 is the healthiest to drink.
Note that the common packaged or bottled water has a pH level of 6.5-7.5 and alkaline packaged water and distilled RO water has a pH level between 5-7.
It must be noted that if a person lives in a very hot climate place, or if he or she is involved with a lot of active sports or heavy physical activities, or he or she sweats a lot, then he or she must drink more water than the above-mentioned quantity.
