Sometimes advice comes from the most unexpected of places... like in the case of the age old adage to drink 8 cups of water a day. Where did this advice come from and does it hold true for everyone? Join the hosts, Levannia and Lindsay, as they unpack how we ended up with the recommendation to drink 8 cups of water, share personal water anecdotes, and start a broader conversation of the availability of clean drinking water in Canada. If you have ever wondered whether you should drink to thirst or stick to schedule with your water intake, this episode is for you.
