Webmasters/webmistresses --- are you drinking enough water?
 

Well, are you?


Importance of water -

75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.

Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?

(No kidding, all of the above is true.)

Of course, too much water may have strange side effects (see picture below)

http://members.shaw.ca/graphx/pics/a...drinkbitch.gif Now that I have your attention, go get another glass of water!

I drink at least one gallon daily. :thumbsup

i drink enough water, its my main drink

I usually drink like 1.5 or 2 litres water per day...:thumbsup

Today I have drank 8 pints of water. I'll have another 2 before going to bed probably.

I'm clearly not drinking enough water...
where did you get your info?

yep, I drink enough water but most of all I like juice or green tea:winkwink:

i drink about a gallon a day, when its hot out in the summer like it is now i drink 1.5-2 gallons a day.

I am on this lemonade kick. There is something about the hot summer with ice tea and lemonade.

I'm going to get a glass of water right now

I drink beer is that ok too?:glugglug :1orglaugh

I've been on an iced tea kick, and I'm drinking Crystal Light's sugar-free peach tea. Yummy stuff. Unless I'm really thirsty, I don't drink water. I don't know why it is, but I just can't stand the stuff. :helpme

I think I am in BIG trouble!
All I drink is way to much beer and sodas all day, I think I'll have to start drinking water by the keg.

I got a cold water cooler at the office here and I drink a lot from it during the summer months :)

WG

around 3litre+ / day :glugglug

I used to drink 2-3 liters everyday but i did get bored to running toilet almoust every hour. Now i drink only when i'm thirsty.

This was forwarded to me via email by one of my joke guys.... but these facts are found on several medical as well as health and fitness websites.


Some of the links in this search corroborate what's written in my above post....

man, i drink water all day long. keeps your skin clean, makes you piss shit loads and also keeps you full so you dont get too fat. drink loads a water before a meal, stops you from eating alot.

i think so too! i used to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day (including juices) as per advised....though i hate the miscomfort of running to toilet every now and then but it does helps a lot :thumbsup

i'm at at least 2 gallons a day

i drink water nonstop throughout the day, it's my fav, absolutely refreshing :thumbsup

Does diet cola count? :(

Ahhh WATER, the true nectar of imortality!!!

:thumbsup Good advice

I think a lot of the heath benefits are from the resultant frequent urination that quickly removes a lot of toxins out of your body :glugglug

I make sure I drink atleast 7 glasses of water each day.

in a day i could only drink about 2-3 glasses of water . . .

I drink the shit all day long, but I'm still always thirsty.

I do need to drink more.

i almost wanted to drink as much as i could, but i cant, before when i used to do some work out i could emptied almost 3-4 liters of water......

I drink about 60 to 90 ounces of water daily

Be carful man, it could be a sign of diabetes.

coke is far better!:thumbsup

Water, coffee and a little milk is all I drink.

I drink coffee from morning until night usually.. sometimes a glass or two of milk or juice also, but mostly coffee. It's really bad, lol..

I have never, ever in my life purchased bottled water. I also dont have a water filter in my home, which is why I dont drink more of it. Sometimes I fill a large container with water after letting the faucet run for literally a few minutes, then chill it and drink it the next day.

But I'm curious why female webmasters arent just called webmasters? It's not like webmaster is a gender specific term, where as webmistress makes it sound like they're cheating with the web, which is married.. :Oh crap

:glugglug

I get enough water from the ice in my Jack and coke. :thumbsup

This post made me really thirsty.

Some like to be called webmistresses, some like to be called webmasters. It isn't hard to figure out, and I don't pay attention to all this politically correct bullshit.


As for drinking coffee all day..... I confess I've been guilty of that in the past myself. I still drink quite a bit of it, but I also guzzle some water as well as juices and milk in between coffees as much as I can. Also, I take a big glass of water into my bedroom at night and drink most of it before nodding off.

I started noticing I had some dark circles under my eyes, and the main remedy for that is....... you guessed it...... WATER. Actually the recommendation is less coffee and more water. I try to no longer drink coffee after about 3 or 4 pm.

i try to drink 6 glasses a day.

if your urine is yellow anytime other than first thing when you wake up, you're not drinking enough water

one brita pitcher a day

ok, gonna take it today, lets see how im feeling tonight, very tired right now (just out of bed)

I knew this but thanks!:thumbsup

You're welcome. Rember to brush your teeth, and also... if at all possible, don't drink water from the toilet.


That's all my sound advice for today.

Fuck no, I dont drink enough, but just started today. I drank water all day today and will do it every day from now on.
