Experts Decide No Benefit To Drinking 8 Glasses Of Water A Day...
Dear Reader,
We've all heard the recommendations for how much water we should be drinking each day... though like other things, not many of us reach this goal.
Your doctor will tell you that water is a part of every cell, tissue and organ inside the body... it helps keep your body temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, protects your spine and other sensitive tissue and helps eliminate wastes. It's no wonder so much energy has gone into making recommendations on how much we should be drinking each day.
And yet a recent article in the British Medical Journal calls into question the current water intake recommendations of 8, eight ounce glasses a day. This much water might not be doing us any good, and could even be causing some problems.
We've been told that drinking this much water can bring lots of benefits to the body, helping with weight loss, skin clarity, fewer urinary tract infections and an improved ability to stay focused and alert, yet study author Margaret McCartney, MD a doctor from Glasgow Scotland says the evidence to back these claims just isn't there. Taking things one step further, she believes that drinking beyond what's comfortable for you can actually be bad for the kidneys.
We know that drinking liquids to excess can kill.
Too much water can actually dilute the blood and bring on swelling of the brain, coma and even death. Known medically as hyponatremia, you may have heard of this happening to an inexperienced marathoner or those taking the drug ecstasy. It's also seen in infants under 6 months old. There's even a story of a woman who lost her life after participating in a radio station contest, Hold Your Wee For A Wii.
While for most of us drinking eight glasses of water a day isn't going to be a problem, if you don't make it, or go over, that's hardly the end of the world.
Water recommendations actually depend on several things, your health, how active you are and your surrounding environment. Exercising or working in the hot sun means you'll need more than those 8 glasses that day.
If you're working or exercising in hot weather, it's so important to start out well hydrated, keeping fluids accessible during your workout.
Remember that the thirst mechanism isn't triggered until you're 2% dehydrated, so using thirst as a guide isn't always a good idea; drinking small amounts as you work or exercise is. Afterward it's important to rehydrate within a half hour of stopping your workout or workday. Replacing the fluid you've lost is the key to preventing dehydration.

Experts Decide No Benefit To Drinking 8 Glasses Of Water A Day... Continued...
And though the eight glass a day rule isn't backed by scientific evidence, experts
from the Mayo Clinic consider it a useful guideline... a reference point that
can be adjusted according to your unique needs.
Hardly clarifying the issue, the Institute of Medicine, an advisory committee
that works to set government guidelines on nutrition, recommends men drink a
whopping 13 glasses of water a day; women just 9.
So what to do?
Experts suggest that you look at the color of your urine - the most reliable
indicator of dehydration. If it is clear or pale yellow you're probably very
well hydrated. Darker yellow signals you need more fluids.
It's also a good idea to be aware of the signs and symptoms, some quite subtle
(loss of focus and fatigue, for example), of dehydration and react quickly to
set things right. And what better, more natural and calorie free beverage than
a tall glass of cool, clear water?
To your good health,
