Benefits of beet root juice, raw,tinned,cooked, does it matter?
Great article, thanks for posting! I will definitely drink more water from now on. As it is so essential to our health and well being.
To Bart Flyn,
If you suffer from leg cramps you probably lack Potassium and Magnesium. Talk to you your doctor about this and start taking supplements. And the most important thing is
: Are you drinking enough Water? !!!
You might have a mouth as a cause of taking medication. Again, discuss it with your doctor.
Hope this will help
water is free hopefully. It is the elixir of life. drink it to be healthy. not more than perhaps six glasses a day i.e.1.5 litres a days . Thank for the cheapest remedy.Joel
Good information – thanks!
I agree that water is good for you and I am prepared to accept that it confers all the benefits described above, but the eight glasses per day notion is a myth. Please see:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2012/06/08/water-eight-glasses-myth.html
The eight-glasses-day-day myth came from a misinterpretation of a U.S. government (military?) report from some years back. I could not find the source today but I read it and confirmed the origin of the myth about eight or nine months ago.
A very useful artical for every one. Rich or poor
I disagree and the amount of water that one should drink is a subject that most physicians and so called expert disagree. There is no one amount that fits everybody. When I drink five glasses of water a day causes diarrhea. If I drink water before a meal I get diarrhea. What works for me is to drink when I’m thirsty. I am 72 and my skin is better than most people half my age. A 120 pound girl working in an office would not need as much water as a 200 pound man working in the heat. That is common sense.Dogs ,cats,rats,horses and cows drink water when they get thirsty and the same rule should apply for humans. However if you can drink more water without the side affects of diarrhea and bloating than it probably wouldn’t hurt.If you are a man and have enlarged prostrate,water will just make the symptoms worse. Drink when you are thirsty,period.
Dear Sir,
It certainly is a Myth when you are told to drink eight glasses of water a day.
There have been a number of reports about this,and they are wrong.
I am eighty six years of age,and only drink water to take pills,when i have to.
I lived in India for over two years and never drank one glass of water,we only drank tea.
Even today i do not drinkany water,and my
blood sugaris good,and my cholestrol is the same.Regards Syd
My mother is 90 years,she does not drink water, only takes drinking chocolate.Her health is wonderful and never been hospitalized.Those of us who take the 8 glasses of water are in worse health than she is.All the same it is a great article.
Informative.
What do desert dwellers do to get enough water?
It's highly likely water is not abundant in their lives.
I have heard they get a lot more kidney stones, poor sods!
i will look up this one and get the real understanding.
i like the article. I’ve heard a lot about the effects of drinking water. I try to practice it especially in the morning and I see good results as I experience bowel movement immediately after the therapy. There are different opinions as to the amount that should be consumed on daily basis. Just a few days back, I read that up to a gallon of water should be taken every day for maximum result. Can’t the variations be be cleared?
I am on 3ltrs of water every day and your info is so good
Thanks

101. Sports drinks, apple juice, sodas- even milk- rot your teeth. Water is the only liquid that actively prevents tooth decay.
“It’s not just your bones that benefit from milk; your teeth get stronger and healthier when you drink, too, because it contains calcium. Calcium helps protect your teeth against periodontal (gum) disease and keeps your jaw bone strong and healthy. Since women are more likely to get periodontal disease if they don’t absorb enough calcium from their daily diet, it’s especially important for eat and drink plenty of calcium–rich foods. Drinking 1% low–fat or nonfat (skim) milk will help you gain the most nutrients without the extra artery–clogging fat of 2% or whole milk.”
Oh! Come on be fair, let's not exaggerate!
You can get more calcium from your almond and soy beverages, they’re a little light in the magnesium department but if you slice bananas over your cereal or have an apple or an orange, that should compensate. Plus you should reduce your red meat consumption, at today’s prices it shouldn’t be hard to do. Never combine dairy with red meat either, high consumption causes stomach problems and the dairy only enhances the problem. Well peace and goodwill, live long, live well, your health is your first wealth. Shalom!
Thanks for this very informative and interesting article — Water is so important — Let's make sure that we get enough to keep us healthy.
101% right. very very good article and it is right, water solves all the problems than medication. I drink at least 3 glasses of warm water in morning when I get up. Thanks
