How Much Water Should I Drink?

How Much Water Should I Drink? Let's Dive In!

Asking, "How much water should I drink?" is kind of like asking, "What's my favorite ice cream flavor?" No one can answer that better than you! But don’t worry—I’m here to give you the facts and help you figure it out for yourself.

My name is Mike King, and I call the Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia—also known as "God’s Country"—my home. There’s something truly special about this place. Visitors often say that the moment they turn off the motorway onto Big River Way, they just start smiling for no reason. I tell them, "Yep, same thing still happens to me every time!"

Now, let me share a little about myself. I’m turning 59 this year, but you’d never guess it from the way I charge the waves like I’m still 18. I surf three to four times a week, run a thriving development company, and manage the four-acre estate my family calls home. Oh, and I still find time to enjoy a cold beer—balance is key, right?

So, what’s my secret? There are a few factors, but one of the biggest is simple: water. Not just any water, though—good water. The water in our home is something special. Showering in it, drinking it, and even carbonating it has changed the game. I genuinely believe it makes the best sparkling water I’ve ever tasted. And the best part? I drink as much as I feel my body needs.

The Golden Rule of Hydration

How much water should you drink? Simple: as much as your body tells you to! Drink until you feel truly quenched.

But let’s talk quality—because not all water is created equal. If you’re relying on tap water, we need to have a serious chat. (More on that soon.)

This journey to optimal health starts with the right water, and I’ll guide you every step of the way. By the time we’re done, you’ll not only know how much water you need, but you’ll be drinking the best water possible—the true elixir of life.

So here’s to your health, happiness, and hydration. And remember: if you're ever unsure whether you’re drinking enough, just check if you’re starting to look like a raisin.
