Everyone agrees you need some form of hydration – but are any of the alternatives as good for you as H20? And precisely how much should you be gulping down?
Guzzling water has become something of a badge of honour among celebrities, with Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow revealing they drink up to three litres a day. But not everyone finds it so easy. Florence Pugh, for one, recently announced that she finds water “too boring to drink”. As well as the lack of flavour, she bemoaned the constant toilet breaks that come with a high intake, calling them “a waste of time”. Instead, she prefers orange juice, elderflower presses and tea.
What do the experts say? How much water should we be drinking every day – and is it just as healthy to get your hydration from other beverages?
