Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 20048 Glasses of Water Daily?
I found this little tid bit of info while reading the Aug/04 Canadian Living magazine: "A joint Canada/US panel of scientific experts recently concluded that there is no real rule of thumb on how many glasses of water we need to drink daily, because the tea, juice, milk, etc. we drink also hydrate us. Milk's advantage is that it's not only 88% water, it provides 15 essential nutrients, something water can't do. Quite the thirst quencher!" Not exactly ground breaking, but it's nice to know I'm not doing anything wrong in the H20 intake department. While water DOES keep me feeling full, I'd rather be drinking other things throughout the day. I drink probably two 500mL bottles daily (4 glasses). So, I guess those who have trouble drinking those 8 glasses of water a day shouldn't really fret! > I found this little tid bit of info while reading the Aug/04 Canadian Living > magazine: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > two 500mL bottles daily (4 glasses).

Milk is not the ideal food for adult himans as it contains a type of lactose that many are sensitive to abd a certaun protein as well. Goat's milk is better tolerated and the casein in it is a little differnt. incubating milk into hoem made yogurt eliminates the lactose. The new rule seems to be to drink when thirsty and not force down 64 oz. of water daily.

I here that... lactose intolerant here, but get along well with lactose-free milk. How would you compare the lactose tolerance of goat milk to lactose-free milk? > Goat's milk is better tolerated and the casein in it is a little > differnt. incubating milk into hoem made yogurt eliminates the lactose. > The new rule seems to be to drink when thirsty and not force down 64 > oz. of water daily. I like that rule. Unless when exercising - I think it's a good idea to hydrate oneself throughout the entire workout and not just when feeling the thirst. ~Liz > The new rule seems to be to drink when thirsty and not force down 64 > oz. of water daily. The rule I've heard is that if you wait until you're thirsty then it's already too late. Phil M.  SignatureThe essential thing in life is not so much conquering as fighting well.

Why would this be denying your thirst? Just don't drink it all at once. Your body can only process a certain amount of fluids before it has to simply turn it into waste (urine). Phil M.

At least in the next 5 days. Still wondering where these constant 100+ temperatures exist on this planet. Phil M.

Like I said, Fresno. I've been thinking of getting an water distiller, seems senseless to pay good money for distilled water with all this solar energy coming down. If they were cheaper I'd get the solar roof tiles, too. What a cool invention. >> I'm looking at the forecast right now. It won't ever get over 100. At >> least in the next 5 days.

It may get to a high of over 100+ for several days in a row, but as soon as the sun goes down it gets well below 100. Especially since Fresno is in a part of the country with lower than average humidity. The humidity holds the heat after the sun goes down, which can make for hot and muggy nights. > I've been thinking of getting an water distiller, > seems senseless to pay good money for distilled water with all this > solar energy coming down.

I never figured this out how the higher specific heat of water vapor held the heat in the summer night air in humid places I've lived, like Maryland and Tokyo. >> >> I'm looking at the forecast right now.

Does that count? > >Certainly. Beer is mostly water. This must be deadpan, right?:) Alcoholic beverages dehydrate people. A couple of years ago, there were a couple of kids who for whatever reason got stuck in the back of a beer delivery truck. They survived for 2 days before being discovered. They drank some of the beer to stay alive, but they were very dehydrated from having done so. > The new rule seems to be to drink when thirsty and not force down 64 > oz. of water daily. I'm not one to follow "rules" about water, but there are days when in reaction to excess heat, or whatever, that I do happen to get at least 6-8 cups per day. I do notice during those times that I feel at my personal best. There are days when I consciously make an effort to drink more water, although I regret to say not as often as I'd like, but I am getting there. Our bodies are made and designed for it. I notice (for myself) a notable decrease in headaches, and in "hunger" (thirst is oftentimes mistaken for hunger). I've very frequently drowned out headaches with water. The first few days, drinking more water does result in extra trips to the bathroom until the body adjusts. 64 oz, when it comes down to it, is really not a whole lot. I know people who drink way more than that in diet coke and other beverages, sometimes at one sitting! In the past, I've done the same, but to me there is a vast difference between water and other beverages. SignatureThe post you just read, unless otherwise noted, is strictly my opinion and experience. Please interpret accordingly. > > The new rule seems to be to drink when thirsty and not force down 64 > > oz. of water daily. > > The first few days, drinking more water does result in extra trips to the > bathroom until the body adjusts. when I first started I was making the mistake of drinking too fast; 64oz / 16hrs = 4oz/hr. Drinking 24oz in 3 minutes just results in trips I suspect. No Way! 8 Glasses Ain't Enough! I regularly drink 3 to 4 gallons a day and I dropped from a BMI of 34 to 22 in about 18 months ... stop being too conservative. > No Way! 8 Glasses Ain't Enough! I regularly drink 3 to 4 gallons a day and I > dropped from a BMI of 34 to 22 in about 18 months ... stop being too > conservative. I suspect you're confusing quarts or half-gallons for gallons. 3 to 4 gallons would be 48 to 64 cups or 12 to 16 quarts/liters. Seems like that would take much of the day to drink and pee. Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." My goal is to drink 3 liters of water a day -- sometimes I make it, and sometimes I fall short. Nothing makes my skin look so great as drinking lots of water!
