Is drinking lots of water good?

[bushtucker]

recommended intake is 2 litres a day, not 1 litre per hour!

Only goondus would believe in TCM. Heatiness (yang) and coolness (yin) are not scientific concepts but pseudoscience.

agree with you ...yin and yang are like religion ...all bullshit .

 

[Borat]

I litre per hour means having a urinal close by all the time. That is taking things a bit too far imo.

 

[ginfreely]

I drink lots of water. Like 1 litre per hour or 2. Is that too much?

What about you guys?

1 litre per hour is too much since only need 8 glasses of water...ever watched a program that said good to form a routine to drink 2 glasses first thing in the morning after waking up and the rest of day drink before feeling thirsty, becos body already dehydrated by the time feeling thirsty...

 

[erection2015]

Maybe 2 to 3 hours 1 litre. I am not that sure, sometime i really drink a lot. Maybe 4 litres a day or 5 litres on a hot day.

drinking plain water is definately great. for our region average 2litre per day is good. ut take note few points, spread out the amount u drank, not one shot big amount. avoid cold water, even in hot weather, cold water made ur body work hard to "netural" ur body temperture, don't worry of over heat, our body release the heat by sweating. and cold water basically can " penatrate" our bone, cell, organ in such a way which cause harm.

best water to drink is mineral water, boil tape water.( beside the newater aka shit water really no comment). please avoid distill water! plenty of info in the web for distill water. just don't drink distill

According to Aajonus Vonderplanitz (whose raw food diets have a high success rate against cancer), you should only drink water as part of vegetable or fruit juices, and never just plain tap water alone (which leeches away your bodies' nutrients).

Drinking too much water can kill you. You'll end up with what is called "water intoxication".

KILLER WATER: Drinking water faster than your body can sweat, urinate or breathe it out can kill you.Image: © ISTOCKPHOTO.COM/GREMLIN

Liquid H[SUB]2[/SUB]O is the sine qua non of life. Making up about 66 percent of the human body, water runs through the blood, inhabits the cells, and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat, urination, defecation or exhaled breath, among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose.

Earlier this year, a 28-year-old California woman died after competing in a radio station's on-air water-drinking contest. After downing some six liters of water in three hours in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" (Nintendo game console) contest, Jennifer Strange vomited, went home with a splitting headache, and died from so-called water intoxication.

There are many other tragic examples of death by water. In 2005 a fraternity hazing at California State University, Chico, left a 21-year-old man dead after he was forced to drink excessive amounts of water between rounds of push-ups in a cold basement. Club-goers taking MDMA ("ecstasy") have died after consuming copious amounts of water trying to rehydrate following long nights of dancing and sweating. Going overboard in attempts to rehydrate is also common among endurance athletes. A 2005 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that close to one sixth of marathon runners develop some degree of hyponatremia, or dilution of the blood caused by drinking too much water.

if the plain water contain mineral is ok. boiled water kill all micro=organise but still left the mineral. distill water are the one u referring to, no mineral, left nothing and had a negative ph. as water need mineral to go through our system to do wonder, distill water will "leeches away" like wat u mention. unless the diet is totally raw. if not water are very play very important role.

made it simple. just drink plenty of water. just no distill water

Eh lagi goondu, if TCM is pseudoscience, China wouldn't be the most populated country on earth. If 1.3 billion living chinese isn't scientific proof then what is. Maybe only 1.3 billion white rats in scientific labs is proof to you.

 

[redoubtable]

Even water in excess can lead to death.

 

[KoalaJack]

no matter what people or science says, drinking plain cold water is heavenly....

 

[neddy]

Not if it is new water.

Ever wonder why Singaporeans on tour need to go 唱歌 more often then other nationalities?

What an embarrassing display of ignorance!

2 to 3 litres of water a day would be just right.
