My liver belongs to the "heaty" category

[Thick Face Black Heart]

I think my liver belongs to the "heaty" category, which means I am naturally a "heaty" person. If I don't drink enough water daily, my immune system will not be strong. Furthermore I exercise daily, making water intake crucial.

I can drink 4 to 5 litres of water daily. One good side effect is calming effect on the brain. My OC in the army was a water guy too. He'd drink like a horse when he was stressed out. Used to go jogging with him on saturday mornings and we'd come back and empty a gallon. The trainees coming back from Friday night exercise were shocked as back then water parade was unheard of. My OC and I were the pioneers of that practice, I'm sure and MINDEF saw the benefit.

Apologies to new recruits who now have to drink a full mug before breakfast and lunch daily.

"Every hour, a healthy kidney at rest can excrete 800 to 1,000 milliliters, or 0.21 to 0.26 gallon, of water and therefore a person can drink water at a rate of 800 to 1,000 milliliters per hour without experiencing a net gain in water, Verbalis explains. If that same person is running a marathon, however, the stress of the situation will increase vasopressin levels, reducing the kidney's excretion capacity to as low as 100 milliliters per hour. Drinking 800 to 1,000 milliliters of water per hour under these conditions can potentially lead a net gain in water, even with considerable sweating, he says"
