Drinking water is important

Drinking enough water plays an important role in keeping your body healthy and functioning properly.

For example, water is involved in managing your body temperature, carrying nutrients and oxygen 

to your cells, and protecting vital organs and tissues 

Water is also needed for the excretion of waste products, joint lubrication, and 

keeping the tissues in your eyes, mouth, and nose healthy and moist

Should you drink a gallon a day?

For most people, drinking when you feel thirsty and stopping when your thirst is 

quenched is a reliable way to maintain adequate hydration (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).

To date, there is very limited research to show that drinking more than your hydration 

requirements benefits your health

so drinking a gallon a day isn't necessary unless that is what your body needs to stay hydrated

-----

how much should you be drinking?

most women 78 ounces (2.3 liters) of total water per day

most men meet their hydration needs when consuming 112 ounces (3.3 liters) per day

interesting informaiton is that 

It’s estimated that athletes lose approximately 6–10% of their body weight through sweat d

uring prolonged athletic events.

However, a water loss of 2% alone can have a noticeable effect on athletic performance

which means staying hydrated is really important to help your body keep its competitive edge

there are many benefits to staying hydrated.
