Dr. Travis Stork: How Many Glasses of Water to Drink Every Day

Dr. Travis Stork, host of the Emmy-nominated The Doctors TV show, says one of the most common summer ailments is also the easiest to prevent. Dr. Stork, an emergency room physician at the Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, is sharing simple hydration tips that can have a big impact on hot-weather health and fitness.

Refresh Yourself using a Reusable Water Bottle: Keep a BPA-free, reusable water bottle at your side at all times. Some are better than others at keeping people hydrated. A water bottle study conducted at Pepperdine University and released July 8, 2009, found that people drank up to 24 percent more water with the CamelBak® Better Bottle™ than with other water bottles. The CamelBak bottle costs less than disposables over time, keeps plastic bottles out of landfills and helps you easily monitor how much water youre drinking.

@navylord17 Haha yes I know! For me it was not the same because I wasnt really fond of drinking water but the ice, wow it was like candy for me. I ate 10 medium size bowls (maybe even more) of ice a day. I didnt suck it i ate it like crisps.

Everybody and even my dentist asked me if my teeth didnt hurt and it didnt.

@LilMiliana ummmmmm??? tell me more ice and water are practically the same............lol you would suck on ice for days on end??

Buy one 1l bottle. Now, drink 3 of those full 1litters through out the day. There, you have your required drinking water intake.
