How much water you should drink every day?
@Marc, can you point me to the research?
To give friends who bothers me about my salt use, which is very moderate.
It is best information for how much water we should have to drink atleast 3-5 ltr water
"Drinking At Least 3 - 5 liters"???
This is an incredulous poor recommendation. No one needs to drink that amount of water per day unless you are in the Death Valley in the middle of summer.
Someone who is consuming that much water will be living in the bathroom.

I drink when I’m thirsty.

Absolutely! Salt is necessary for life. So is water. I enjoy both.Sodium Misinformation
There is an abundance of misinformation on sodium intake, as well as other diet and nutrition information. The irony is the much of it has and continues to be perpetuated by medical physicians who have virtually no education in nutrition (6 hours of college classes) from decades ago.

With that said, sodium intake is rarely an issue for the majority of healthy individuals; it only a health factor for individual with certain health conditions.
The fact is, sodium is an important mineral that we need, especially when training. As per...
Sodium, Your Secret Weapon | T Nation
Studies in Canada at McGill and McMaster Universities have concluded that unless one has a specific and serious condition that would preclude him from taking in salt, then salt intake will produce no negative health problems, and could actually be health promoting. As a matter of fact, only 10% of hypertension cases have a known cause, and in almost all of these cases, the cause was either genetic or stress related.
...High-performance athletes should not avoid sodium. They should, in fact, ensure that they get adequate amounts of sodium every day to prevent negative metabolic consequences, and to promote maximum performance.
The article above go into greater depth in explaining the importance of sodium for athletes.
..."Can you point me to the research?"
There is plenty of research that you can find on this if you are willing to invest some time in googling it.
