How Much Water is enough?

There is a big myth about how much water you need to drink each day. Typical guidelines say 11 cups a day for women and 16 cups (8oz/cup) for men.

The bottom line is let thirst be your guide. When your thristy, drink some water. If you are running a marathon you sure the heck are going to need more than 16 cups and if your relaxing at home you probably only need 4 or 5/day.

Also, let's stop using all those plastic bottles. If your in San Francisco, the city water is excellent. Refill those plastic containers or make sure the bottles are made of corn starch.
