Women who drank 3-4 glasses of water per day were 46% less likely to have a fatal heart attack during a 6-year follow-up compared to women who drank less than 2 glasses per day according to the The Adventist Health Study.
The reason for this may be that drinking more water reduces blood viscosity according to the paper.
Women who drank 5 or more glasses of fluids other than water per day were roughly 2.5 times more likely to have a fatal heart attack during the 6-year follow-up.
