The more the water we drink the more the need we have to pee. So how does it actually help your body when it only consumes the amount of water it requires for its functioning and releases the extra one. Basically i am confused why Doctors recommend drinking 8 or more glasses of water when our body doesn’t retain much of it
In: Biology
I don’t know that it “helps” your body. It’s more like that it maintains your body. You are basically mostly water, and water is the matrix where most of your body functions take place. It doesn’t take much (too much or too little water) to disrupt normal functions.
Eight glasses is kind of random amount. For someone with a very physical job that number will be greater, and for someone who is very petite/small that number will be smaller. Of course, hydration needs are greater in drier climates and higher temperatures, like summer.
