About drinking

It's common knowledge that we should consume 2-4 litres of fluid daily. The amount naturally depends on our stature and age, our activity, and, of course, the ambient temperature. A significant portion of our needs is already met through food. We can also drink for pure pleasure, or we can forget to drink out of carelessness. I advocate not overestimating this 2-4 litre value. Healthy people feel thirst, and giving in to it is perfectly fine. However, those who find themselves in life circumstances that alter their natural urge to drink must consciously approach their drinking. But that's not my topic. Today I would like to suggest a water fast. So, no tea, juice, coffee, or anything else nice to drink. Just drink water. Fortunately, our tap water is of top quality, and I can only recommend preferring it to bottled water.
