Water Water everywhere, but not a drop is drunk

[Motokid]

I lifted this from another forum. Not sure where it came from, or how much of it is true, but if it's even half true it's pretty amazing. How much water do you drink?

I would rather they discuss how many ounces a day, or quarts or liters, instead of glasses. I guess I have to assume 1 glass equates to 8 ounces? Any way, drink up, and we'll all be meeting on the way back and forth to the bathroom. I'll get the door for ya when we meet....


"Water

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
> (Likely applies to half of the world population)

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so
weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's
metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger
pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
U-Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water a day could significantly ease back and joint
pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy
short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and
difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a
printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the
risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the
risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less
likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every
day?"

No wonder I'm tired all the time. Does tea count as water

PS Moto, are u just getting silly with these threads now??

How would my answer to your question change things from your perspective?

 

[jenn]

no i think it is interesting really. i make an effort to drink 8 8 ounce glasses a day. you definitely eat less and i have fewer headaches.

 

[Peronel]

I'm just kidding.

No, I know I dont drink enough water, but it's something that i forget to do. Much like eating sometimes, or cleaning the house, or the shopping....got the whole absent-minded professor thing going.

Oh, except I'm not a professor

I drink 2 litres of water every day. I know because I fill up a 2 litre bottle from the tap every morning (I can't be bothered with all that poncy Evian rubbish). I can't say I feel any healthier than when I drank no water, though.

How much water do you drink? Are you drinking the amount of water you should everyday?"

I drink more than eight glasses a day. But I still feel tired, I still crave food at midnight... and my back hurts all the time.

That's rubbish. Thirst manifests as hunger. If you are hungry then try drinking a glass of water. The hunger will, most likely, subside. Unless, of course, you are thirsty.

I try to cut down on water because of the tidal pull of the moon. I has a negative effect on my sanity. Has anyone else noticed that?

I drink about 4 litres a day. Addicted to it, I am.

I drink hardly any water (unless its in hot chocolate), however I drink approx 2 litres of coke per day

There is lots of water in coke. That's the way you have to look at it, if not it might sound unhealthy.

 

[Ice]

Ah true, though that's about the healthiest part of my diet

 

[hay82]

Sound very much like the way I live

In high school, I used to drink a hundred cans of Cola a week, right up to my third heart attack

Ice, Are you familiar with the lifestyle of one Phillip J Fry??

I'm surprised that's not on the list: dehydration causes headaches.

Drinking water also keeps the kidney happy, and a happy kidney makes for a happy Renee.

I drink between 64 and 128 oz of water a day (when I'm awake during the day). I drink a little less when I'm working nights. I'm working on cutting soda out of my diet because it has no nutritional content and isn't good for your body.

"I drink between 64 and 128 oz of water a day"

So we can assume that when you're not currently active in TBF, that you're probably on your way to, using, or on your way back from the little girls room?
