Do we need 8 glasses of water per day?

That's probably one of the most popular health advice. That's about 2 litres of water per day!

I guess this is an extremely smart way to sell lots of bottles of water. Just take a stroll into any  big super mart, you'll see a big section devoted only to bottled water!

The kidney specialist (whatever you call him), who's the guy who specializes in this matter  will tell you otherwise. We need abt 24ml of fluids per kg in weight per day. That'll include all fluids e.g.  any kind of beverages like coffee , tea, soup or even food.   Anything more will be excreted out.

Does drinking more water help in losing weight?

Yes if it's COLD water !
Water curb or suppress appetite by making us feel fuller. It also lowers body temperaturecausing metabolism to rise, trying to prduce more heat.

If not enough water is being consume, the kidneys cannot function properly, that means liver has to step up to do much of it. This lessen it's involvement in burning fats. Resulting in fats which would normally be used as fuel gets accumulated in the body instead.

Drinking enough water means the liver can focus on metabolizing fat!
