There are different opinions on how water you should be drinking every day Health authorities commonly recommend eight 8- ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. This is called the 8x8 rule and is very easy to remember.
However, health gurus believe that you need to sip on water constantiy throughout the day, even when you're not thirsty.
As with most things, this depends on the individual. factors (both internal and external) ultimately affect your need for water.

The eco-friendly glass that’s hard to crack
There's laughter over the phone as John Mauro calls out my question to one of his researchers: just how much pummelling with a mallet does it take to break the new glass they have developed? "You've got to put your body into it," says Prof Mauro, of Pennsylvania State University, as he describes how the glass must first be scratched deeply with diamond or tungsten carbide stylus - and then hammered by a post-doctoral researcher wielding a mallet.
Prof Mauro claims the invention, called LionGlass, is ten times stronger than standard glass. Imagine a wine bottle unscathed, even after falling onto a tiled kitchen floor.
However, few details about LionGlass are available as the research has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal yet and the team have only recently filed a patent application.
One key detail is that, unlike standard glass, the production of this glass doesn't need soda ash or limestone. The alternative ingredients are currently a closely guarded secret.

Studying math past the age of 16 supports brain development and later cognitive abilities, researchers reported June 15 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the U.K., students can opt to drop math classes when they turn 16. The researchers wanted to know whether this led to any differences in brain development and cognitive ability between math lovers and the math averse. So, they scanned the brains of 129 teens between ages 14 and 18. Those who dropped math classes at 16 had lower levels of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in regions of the brain involved in math, reasoning, and problem solving. They also performed worse on tests of basic arithmetic and mathematical problem-solving more than a year later. The study shows how education can mold our brains, potentially determining cognitive ability for years to come. Tellingly, GABA levels in younger students didn’t differ, suggesting that the lower levels in older teens was a result — rather than a cause — of dropping math.
