no question is stupid. Ask all you want.
Drinking water helps keep you hydrated, and if you add lemon it is also a good diruetic. When I drink half my weight in ounces I lose weight. The water also helps flush out all the toxins we take in unknowingly.
I was told by one doctor that you should drink 1/2 your weight in ounces to get the correct amount of water per day. That is a challenge for me to drink 100 ozs per day. I am lucky to get in the 64 ounces each day.
Good luck
I am losing and in control of what goes in.
