no drinking cold water in the morning because it's poison

drink lots of hot water throughout the day, it will help you lose weight because you metabolise more when it's warm

but don't drink hot water if you are pregnant, because you'll boil the unborn baby

drinking cold water after food will coagulate your cells and prevent them from digesting food properly, that's why you'll be fat

(i wish i was kidding)

also if you don't like the taste of water, easiest thing is to either (1) get one of those bottles with a tea filter, drink tea WITHOUT sugar/milk/honey all the time or (2) get one of those bottles with an infuser, throw some lime/lemon and some sliced cucumbers, throw it in the fridge. mix cut berries/mint for better taste.

basically water is loving great, drink water nerds

I would almost venture to say that's maggot therapy.

Short version is that they purposely put a certain type of maggot in a wound, and they'll eat the infection, leaving the healthy tissue alone. It's being praised for how well it works, too.

Its just water poisoning. Too much water and too little electrolytes (either because you are exerting yourself or are just drinking way too much) will kill you. Happens to marathon runners and ecstasy users.

Yeah water poisoning is a thing that exists but that doesn't mean it's dangerous to tell people to drink a lot of water. Our bodies need a lot of water and most people are at least slightly dehydrated in their every day lives. You can find a case of people killing themselves with anything people need to be healthy if you overdo it. Doesn't mean you should for example never get vitamin D from sunlight just because skin cancer exists.

quote:

“The notion that there is widespread dehydration has no basis in medical fact,” says Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of the medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Doctors from a wide range of specialties agree: By all evidence, we are a well-hydrated nation.

Getting brunch is more important to me than other peoples lives.

"Heavyset" is being kind.



I ran an ultra last year and drank only water for the first 40 or so miles. When my vision started going, I thought I was going to have to drop out of the race, but I stopped at a medic station where they gave me table salt and a) I have never tasted anything so delicious, and b) I leapt out of the chair like Popeye on spinach and ran the next few miles like it was nothing. I hadn't drunk too much water, but I'd drunk water while losing a lot of salt, which leads to the same result. It's nothing to gently caress around with, for sure.

When I'm feeling all lovely I generally take it as a sign to both eat something salty + a drink to go with it, usually tea.

I guess it's anecdotal evidence but I was told that most people are a little bit dehydrated by a nurse at a clinic that does physicals and her job was to test people's urine for health issues so I guess I assumed she knew what she was talking about. Maybe there's a lot of dehydrated people in my city or something and we are not representative of larger trends.

Still unless you are a marathon runner or can't process liquids properly the amount of water you'd have to drink to give yourself water poisoning is more than most people can even stomach in the time it would take you to piss it out. And most people are getting way too much sodium anyway because our diets are so terrible. Just drink some loving water it's good for you.
