This is how much water you should actually be drinking by Dr. David Eifrig

Here in Retirement Millionaire, I’ve told you about the benefits of drinking coffee, wine and beer, and green tea.

But what about water? The standard in the medical world is to tell people to drink up to 64 ounces of water per day. The rule of thumb is eight eight-ounce glasses per day.

However, I wrote several years back how the history of the 64-ounces-a-day recommendation stemmed from research on people lost at sea – not the reality of a normal day.

The marketing machinery of the water-cooler industry twisted the research, claiming the human body needed extra water to function. The research shows you didn’t need extra water. You could get most of what you needed from foods – making planning for life-raft supplies a bit easier.

Now… a new water study shows that drinking 34 ounces of water a day lowers the risk of developing high blood sugar. The study found that people who drank 34 ounces of water per day were 21% less likely to develop high blood sugar than people who drank 16 ounces or less per day.

Researchers think dehydration causes an increase in a hormone called vasopressin. It triggers blood sugar production in your liver, raising your blood sugar levels.

What’s the ideal? No one is certain, but this new research will lead me to drink a little bit more. New bottles make it easy to keep track of how much you’re drinking, too.

Retailers like Target and Wal-Mart carry bottles that measure the ounces of water you’re drinking.
