how much water should you get, how much do you get

[xbadkarmax]

I would say that the minimal amount of water, yet adequate as well, is 8 glasses.. you need that much rougly for your body to perform well and flush out toxins.

I take 12 at least though, it's great for the skin and you're always hydrated.. 4 glasses , 3 times a day.. not that hard.

What if thats 4 or 5 glasses too many. And what if you are draining vitamins and minerals from your body that otherwise should remain if you drank the optimum amount?

Im not sure on this but I think it also matters how regular your drinking is, if you gulp a whole glass down in 5 minutes it sorta...drowns you and doesnt get absorbed as well as if you sip it.

You mean that 8 glasses of water a day is true? :shock:
oh man, i must be really dehydrated by now :no:

[PyariPariPri]

but tiny ppl like me have tiny bladders.... w/ 4 glasses... jesus by the 3rd one i'd have to pee like a mother O_O

People absorb water from the food they eat as well. Its possible to survive without drinking any water whatsoever. In fact monkeys and gorillas never drink water, they just eat leaves which have water already in em. So...if a person eats a lotta fresh salads and veggies....they need a lot less water I imagine.

yahh i think thats right..theres a possibility of OVERhydrating yourself if u take it all at once, which of course, can be harmful, depending on how overhydrated you really are.

:yes: times infinity

ac89: sorry , lol .. people complain about dulling threads down purposely and making it seem like i really am stupid.. none of that bullshit anymore =]


everyone else : so then i should take in a glass every hour so i absorb it properly? but when i take vitamin A, E, and B+C.. it uses it to flush out radicals and i Piss it out an hour or so later ne way, so its not too bad then or am i still doing harm.. feels ok to me ?

i take a water bottle with me everywhere i go and keep filling it once its out...i've lost count now.

[Aurovon]

I have a 2 liter bottle I have with me everywhere. My daily intake right there. I used to drink a gallon a day. Dosent matter how much you drink. More the better.

[methodman535]

Now the question is....how many times a day do you water guzzlers take a leak?

[xbadkarmax]

once every 2 hours

[methodman535]

omg like every freaking 45 min.


And that doesnt tell you that you are doing something wrong?

[methodman535]

once every 2 hours

Thats not too bad but dont you think it should be once every 4 to 8 hours that a person has to go?

The most reliable way to assess your body's hydration level is to check the dilution of your urine after each visit to the bathroom. The clearer the urine, the more hydrated your body is. Consume a glass of water every 2 hours in order to maintain the hydration balance; every 1 hour if you are an active individual.
