I am always trying to drink as much water as I can because I know that is good for you and helps clean out your body. What I have found out is that you don't need to drink as much as you think. All you have to do is calculate 75 % of your body weight. For example: if you weigh 150 pounds, then it would be 112.5 pounds. That is 112.6 ounces. You shouldn't force your self to drink water if you are not thirsty. I sometimes find myself doing that because I want to get all the water that I need in for one day. Somethings are not good to have a lot of, in this case..You can never have enough water. It helps out your body so much especailly if you are very active or play a sport. Here is a website that give you some advice if you need it for drinking water. http://www.realage.com/eat-smart/food-and-nutrition/how-much-water-do-you-really-need
If you are trying to loose weight and you dont drink water then defiently start and you will see a difference. If you are a soda drinker--try water next time! You will feel better, and not as full and it is zero calories compared to how much soda is. I think water is a huge health issue because people don't drink enough of it. Buying water bottles can get expensive, you should just buy a water bottle so you can keep re-using it. Try it out! :) 
This is great information to know. I know many people who are obsessed with getting as much water in as they can because they think it will only help them. What some people don't realize is that foods such as fruits are almost entirely made up of water. It is definitely great to drink, but one should not go crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting to see how much water exactly you need to drink. I have for years stuck by the myth that you need like 6-8 glasses of water but it's good to know how much I actually need in order to prevent drinking water to the point where I am literally forcing it down even when I am not thirsty.
ReplyDeleteGood information on the calculation of finding out how much water you need. I am a person who drinks water over soda. I play many sports and workout all the time and I feel like I drink way to much water at times but it is good to know that drinking a lot of water won't hurt you.
