Short transcript excerpt arguing that the blanket recommendation of "eight glasses a day" is incorrect; hydration needs vary widely between individuals and depend on diet and lifestyle. The speaker emphasizes learning one’s own bodily signals to recognize proper hydration.
Eight glasses a day is not the way, because there are some people that only need one glass of water throughout the whole day. I, you know, I do know those people. There are people that, in addition to that one glass of water, though, have a green smoothie a day, eat tons of salad and vegetables, move, you know, have just have a really clean diet, super healthy. It's rare. But there are some people that need one glass of water a day, and then there's some people that need more.
