| How much water should you drink a day? |
The generally agreed amount of water that your body needs is about 1.5 - 2.0 litres (2.5 - 3.5 pints) per day however you will require more if you are doing physical work i.e. digging the garden, jogging or working out at the gym (but less if you have renal problems). It is also important not to drink excessively. (As the water content of the blood increases, the salt content is diluted.)
