This is something I want to spread awareness about. We are in the middle of a dehydration epidemic. Drinking too much coffee and carbonated drinks has almost completely destroyed our thirst reflex to the point that most people detect them as hunger messages instead! This is bad, this is really really bad.
Our bodies are over 75% water, and our brains over 90%!!
This isn't a big long do-gooder rant, but I want everybody, right now, or in the next five minutes to get up, and go drink a glass of water.
That's it. Report back after you've done that and tell me how good it felt :)
all i drink is water ;)
ReplyDeleteA lot of people don't realize that coffee has a dehydrating effect.
ReplyDeleteDrink water was the single most important thing I learned in the Army.
ReplyDeletebut i love mcdonalds new mocha frappés
ReplyDeleteYou should also eat fruits and other foods that retain a lot of water to help hydrate your body =]
ReplyDeleteI drink ton's of coffee, like 5 or 6 big and strong cup a day. How much water should I drink?
ReplyDeleteJust drank 3 glasses of water and now my stomach huuurt D:
ReplyDeleteIt's proven, drinking water is bad for you. xD
i drink a full bottle before going to sleep
ReplyDeleteDrink water but don't drink too much water either. There are a lot of foods that contain water too. You need to balance it out.
ReplyDeleteI like Malted water, but that glass of water I just drank was great.
ReplyDeleteAlways find myself drinking. I drink a ton of carbonated drinks but I'm thirsty often. I'd say I drink at least a half gallons of liquid a day. I live in a state with some of the worst water in the nation, it's never a good feeling when you drink the water here.
ReplyDeleteHey Dork.
ReplyDeleteGo check your myspace email.
I'm drinking a glass of water right now and eating fruit.
I've been really good with drinking water, and cutting down on other types of drinks lately.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't help but notice the gigantic bosom to the left. Well done.
I Definitely have this problem. I use to drink buckets of water everyday. Now all I drink is coffee and booze :(
ReplyDeleteMy water tastes gross. |:
ReplyDeleteFelt.. so REFRESHING.
ReplyDeletegoing to drink some right now. Just realized all i've had to drink today is a glass of Coke
ReplyDeleteWater is my primary beverage! :D
ReplyDeleteyeah, I have to remind myself to drink water too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm always drinking water... however, I'm always going pee too.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I should drink more water, thanks for the advice!
ReplyDeletei used to drink so much soda, now mostly all i drink is water. you can really tell the difference in your body

I feel Refreshed
ReplyDeleteof course i do.. i drink about 2 liters a day!
ReplyDeleteI drink only water :)
ReplyDeletecool shit bro
ReplyDeleteI do drink a fair bit of water daily, but probably no were near enough the recommended standard. Eeeeep.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to take your advice. I have a problem with this, myself. Well, off to drink some water.
ReplyDeleteI started drinking more water last week, and I actually feel better
ReplyDeleteMost headaches are caused by dehydration. 5% water loss to be exact, 20% water loss = death.
ReplyDeleteDo not rely on thirst as an indicator of fluid needs, body weight losses are better. For every pound of weight lost drink 16 ounces of fluid (2 cups or 500ml). Before exercising drink water to anticipate your loss of water through perspiration. Clear urine = well hydrated (except when you're taking B vitamin supplements).
Thanks for the heads up, I think I'll stop with the coffee now! he he.
ReplyDeleteQuick answer: no.
ReplyDeleteI freaking love water and that girl in the corner
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking tea right now. But a glass of water is right next to my cup of tea :) Feels good!
ReplyDeleteI always forget to drink 8 glasses...maybe only 4 a day
ReplyDeleteI drink 2 litres of water a day average, plus more if I've been to the gym that day.
ReplyDeleteyea, sometimes i think i drink too much water. i never drink carbonated stuff or stuff with sugar in it, neither milk as just plain milk, so all i drink is water :)
ReplyDeleteI DEFIANTLY don't drink enough water D:
ReplyDeleteI don't drink enough, but I'm gonna try, dammit.
ReplyDeletewater goood great post, keep up the good work =)
ReplyDeleteI always drink water and juice I dont drink soda
ReplyDeleteI should drink more!
ReplyDeleteI've just had a carton of cranberry juice, so I think I'm fine. Cranberry juice is known to have various health benefits. These include:[1]
ReplyDelete* Cranberry juice contains phytochemicals, which may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.[2]
* Cranberry juice may help prevent and relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infections by primary and secondary means. The primary means works on the bacteria directly by altering the molecular structure of the fimbriae on the pathogenic strains of the bacteria that cause the infections.[3] The secondary means works indirectly on the bacteria by changing the intravesical pH (the pH of the bladder's contents) making it more acidic.
* Cranberry juice is high in oxalate, and has been suggested to increase the risk for developing kidney stones,[4] although more recent studies have indicated it may lower the risk.[5]
