While 8 glasses a day is a good start but the actual amount of water a person should drink in a day can vary based on where you live, how much you weigh, and what kind of lifestyle you lead.<\/p>\n<p>Well, We have simplified this dilemma for you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow These Simple Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-If you stay indoors most of the times or if work in an air-conditioned environment it is recommended to drink around <strong>2 liters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-If you have a hectic outdoor work schedule, and during summers\u00a0 it is recommended to drink up to <strong>3 liters<\/strong> of water<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you are not used to drinking water, start by having 1 glass of water early in the morning, 2 glasses before lunch, and 2 glasses before dinner.This will ensure that you drink \u00a0at least 1 liter a day<\/p>\n<p>-Carry a <strong>water bottle\u00a0<\/strong>with you at all times. This will act both as a reminder and a means to check your water intake. Make sure to use a good quality bottle preferably made from glass<\/p>\n<p>-If you exercise regularly, it&#8217;s important to drink water<strong> before, during and after your workout.<\/strong>\u00a0Drink an <strong>extra 1 1\/2 to 2 1\/2 glasses<\/strong> of water<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will I know if I am drinking enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you are drinking enough quantity of water, you should be passing a clear or light yellow urine<\/p>\n<p>-Feeling thirsty and passing dark colored, strong-smelling urine are some of the initial signs that you could be dehydrated<\/p>\n<p>-Other symptoms can include feeling sluggish, feeling light headed and or having a dry mouth<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should I do if water is not my thing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea is to stay hydrated throughout the day.
