Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

It takes three days to hydrate your body. How does this work? When you drink a glass of water it goes into your stomach and then your large intestines where most of it is absorbed into the blood stream. It is carried through the veins to hydrate tissues and is then carried to the kidneys where it is filtered ending up in your bladder. From there you eliminate the wastes that the water picked up and were filtered in your kidneys. This happens no matter how much or little you drink. Every-day activities eliminate water from your body including breathing.
The more you drink, to a certain point, the better you feel because your tissues are hydrated. If you are then active, you need to drink even more liquids- water being the best.
