"That is the one thing I do every meal," she has said. “The daily four-to-six cup rule is for generally healthy people,” says Harvard Health. “But even a healthy person's water needs will vary, especially if you're losing water through sweat because you're exercising, or because you're outside on a hot day. If you're wondering how much water you should drink on those occasions, speak with your doctor, but a general rule of thumb for healthy people is to drink two to three cups of water per hour, or more if you're sweating heavily.”
