:making notes to reassess patient in one week:

I usually drink a minimum of 3 liters of water a day.

Two 1-liter bottles before 6pm and one after.

Mara said:

And ? Can you feel a change compared to the way you felt before you drank three liters a day ?

I notice that I have more energy and better skin but it´s hard for me to drink that much in winter.....I simply forget because I never feel thirsty..sometimes I go for days without water, just black tea and coffee...I know and feel that that´s not healthy.

Well, I'm a runner. When I don't drink enough water I feel fatigued, lackadaisical and crabby. Water helps my mood, I do notice my skin is much smoother, my urine is clearer, I breathe easier and I smell better -- along with being hydrated and having better overall energy.

I know what you mean I've always drank water but increased my intake greatly over the last two years and now I also can physically tell when I don’t or haven’t drank enough water, I’ve also unintentionally found out that yes, you can in fact survive for a few days on just water alone, not recommended.

Imago said:

yes, you can fuck up your body big time if you don't drink enough.

KoolEaze said:

Also, I find I can gobble massive amounts of water more quickly if it's at room temperature. I notice when it's too cold or too hot, it's displeasing to me -- regardless of the season.

Yeah, beer is %95 water

Drink Guinness its good for you.

it was actually "ugly bags of mostly water"

Some form of life that was "pure energy." I forget the specific episode.



Every cell in our body contains water. It must be replenished. Sure, beer, soda, and other drinks have water in them, but the body must filter them to claim the water it needs.

So drinking pure water makes the organs not have to work so hard, leaving them fresh for that Saturday night beer fest.

Mara said:

I agree. And according to Chinese medicine it's much healthier to eat food that's at room temperature.

It makes sense, the body is at a constant temperature, so it's naturally going to need to adjust what you eat or drink to body temp, which takes a lot of energy.

I like hot & cold drinks, but only to sip. I can't gulp them.

That would be Star Trek: The Next Generation's Episode 17 which is titled "Home Soil".

nice--book, chapter & verse!

It has no magical properties. It provides hydration with zero calories, which is a good thing for most people. Our bodies are extremely good at telling us when we need to drink it: we get thirsty. There are no benefits for a normal person to drinking beyond satiating thirst. Just gives your kidneys extra work.

I can't believe anybody would buy that!

cleansing your body from poisons.

It takes up to almost 2 liters to do that, which you realise when your urine is transparent.

So much for British Broadcasting....

Water: 2 parts hydrogen 1 part oxygen. H2O NO CARBON.
Carbon is in all living matter: organic chemistry.
Inorganic chemistry is everything else.(soil, rock, plastic.)
Hubby has a PhD in organic chemistry.

groundchuck said:

Sorry, didn't want to sound rude but I find it hard to believe it "revitalizes water with life force (chi energy)" just putting a bottle on top of that miraculous machine
And I'm European, I think

Mara said:

and here I was so proud of myself for drinking 2 liters a day and thinking I was doing some'in. by the end of that two liters, I can't get anymore down. good for you, Mara.

also, water keeps your organs healthy, especially if you eat salt.

xplnyrslf said:

you're right, of course, but perhaps he means that most water that we drink isn't pure distilled H2O, but has minerals in it, too

How about silicon-based life forms?
