We were driven into this habit for years, and it still remains relevant. The truth is that it is necessary to drink a sufficient amount of water. Depending on where you live (desert or rainforest), you need or more or less water.
If you train a lot and sweat (you already have one healthy habit), then you need more water. Despite all this, there are enough 8 cups (1 cup is 250 grams) water per day. A sufficient amount of water is necessary for your urine to be clean (a little yellow color).
As a result, your body will be provided with water in sufficient body temperature control of quantity, and its excess will be output from the body. In addition, water will evenly distribute oxygen and nutrients by cells.
Ideally, you must eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. It seems to be much, however, not only apples and oranges are taken into account.
