How much water should I have?

Water... such a basic thing and yet so complicated! As easy drinking a glass of water sounds, its after-effects on our health are complex. ⁠
⁠
'Drink water in excess' - We hear it quite often on social media! But Ayurveda says something different. ⁠
Though known as 'Elixir' as per Ayurveda, it suggests drinking the minimum required amount of water to remain healthy. Why?
⁠
Water in general has cooling and nourishing properties, which if consumed more than required can extinguish our digestive fire or agni. It basically controls our metabolism and if the metabolism is disrupted, one can face several digestive and health issues. ⁠

So, what should be the ideal daily water intake?⁠

As per Ayurveda, daily water intake cannot be generalized or be the same for everyone. People have different body compositions, types, and dosha while some may have health conditions — and so the daily water intake differs from person to person.
