Healthy Water Consumption

It has been proven that drinking 8 glasses of water a day may not be appropriate for every individual. To determine how much water you should consume daily, calculate your weight and divide it by 2. The answer you come up with is the amount of water you should consume in ounces. For example, if you weigh 100 lbs, divide that by two. Your answer will be 50, so you should drink 50 ounces of water a day. (Remember that 8 oz. is the equivalent to 1 cup). For those of you skeptical of this new study, consider this. A larger person has more sweat glands, so liquid is extracted from the body at a much more rapid rate than a smaller person with less sweat glands. A child's daily food consumption isn't equivalent and shouldn't be equivalent to that of an adult. Why should water consumption be any different?
