The daily recommendations are around 2.5-3L water/day depending on if you’re male or female based on our body requirements. 8-10 glasses of fluid a day will get you there. However, this recommendation is not for everyone such as those with certain heart and kidney conditions.
Drinking a glass of water before meals can help reduce calorie intake if you are working on weight management.
