The modern formula is 66 multiplied by your bodyweight in kg. This will give you the value in ml (millilitres). This takes into account moderate, daily physical activity (which everyone is supposed to do to keep a healthy lifestyle).
66 are you sure not less?
Would mean a person with 70kg would have to drink = 4,62l this is quite much.
I am perfectly sure. I also tested this myself and other people I know voluntarily tested it as well. There are only benefits, if you increase the amount slowly and steadily, instead of all at once. If you increase too fast, you risk overworking the bladder, as it's used to processing less than necessary, and it needs time to adjust.
Water aids in purification and elimination purposes.
Some other benefits:
:arrow: older people will see their wrinkles become less evident
:arrow: people who are just seeing wrinkles will see them disappear completely (as long as they keep proper intake)
:arrow: less blemishes for people with many manifestations of this kind
:arrow: no blemishes for people with little manifestations of this, even when you indulge in food you shouldn't
:arrow: no skin dryness for people who suffer from it, and less sensitivity for people with sensitive skin
:arrow: oily skin types will need to use no cosmetics
:arrow: flexibility is improved (how much depends on the difference compared to one's previous intake)
:arrow: mental clarity and focus are improved
:arrow: energy levels are improved
:arrow: mood may be improved, motivation too
:arrow: people with high blood pressure (prone to headaches and migraine), will have little to none of these issues as pressure normalises
:arrow: spiritual activities are easier- this last is from experience, not from any studies, obviously
Obviously, it needs to be clean water, not tap water, unless tap water is filtered by a reverse osmosis or similar filter. Hard water causes issues together with the benefits, other than smelling and tasting foul (water should have no taste or no smell, unless you decide to add it to it). Bottle water with low dry residue and good overall mineral content is the next best thing. Number 1, however, is filtered water from the example above and then alkalinised like suggested by HPS Shannon once (and by me later). This number 1 option is also better than ingesting stimulants (i.e. coffee) in raising your energy levels.
It is only much because outdated recommendations have brainwashed people in the 2L/8 glasses a day one-size fits all solution, and in general people are taught bad drinking habits at home by their families and peers even when not being specifically taught the outdated "medical" rule. So, it has become a cultural notion to drink to little water.
What I can say is try it out and see for yourself. A slow, steady increase can be 250ml every 3-5 days.
The only people where I could see issues arising for are people who have already internal issues because they are oversized. This is people 100kg (220lbs) and above, who are 1.93m (6'4") or shorter. There is more leeway for taller people, unless their bones are narrow and thin (i.e. vata types). Notice that this paragraph about issues arising is my own personal understanding, not part of the results of any study.
