For an excellent resource on the health (and weight loss) benefits of water, go to this link (at Dottie's weight loss zone website - an excellent site).

Drink up!

Dear Julie,
Thanks for the website. I just read, and re-read it. Sure does make sense. I've always been a big "water" person but sure haven't been drinking 2 qts/day; only 1/qt. Guess I'll have to double it. _________________

Hey Margaret, it's Tonya, not Barb. I know, I know, people say we look alike. Regarding how much is too much. There was a hazing incident at one of the colleges in Texas this year where a young man drank around 5 gallons of water over the space of several hours (2-3) and died from it. Something to do with electrolytes? maybe? I can't remember why. I also had a co-worker tell me a few years back her mother-in-law had been taken to the hospital for some complaint or another and turns out she was drinking way too much water too. I don't have an amount on the last one because the co-worker didn't know.
I wouldn't think 3 quarts would be too much though. Sounds about right to me. _________________

Water is amazing!! One thing the site says thats a bit confusing is that they say to drink cold water instead of warm because the body absorbs it faster?! I was always told that warm water is absorbed faster into the body. Marw, i drink a lot of water a day too, and tons of salt! I never had a problem, i'm 5 9.5' and 115 and been drinking water all the time, its my favorite drink! In modeling we are supposed to drink a lot of water before shoots, keeps your skin good hydrated. I never heard of drinking too much water? But i guess anything in excess is bad.

Found an interesting article on water. http://www.nols.edu/wmi/articles/archive/hydration.shtml
This one also says that cool water absorbs faster, i guess its true.. hmm Water is yummy!! I am drinking it right now hehehehe.
Marw, i can see how cold water can bother your stomach, as long as your drinking it, i think thats good. I would take water over soda any day. Its funny when I don't drink enough water i can feel it, my body doesnt feel right and my skin isn't as nice..maybe its all in my head, but i think its true. I love salt, and too much salt is bad... I learned my lesson, i was getting sick...and had this rice/pickled plum japanese dish, that is good for colds...i had too many pickled plums which are loaded with salt and got a 103.5 fever and rising...the salt affected my kidneys and made me sick :O. Now i just don't eat many of those pickled plums, i limit myselt at 1 or 2 hehe. But i still eat salt all the time... I think moderation is key, i grew up in a house where eating was a big part of the family, so we were encouraged to eat everything!! hehe My father loves his salt, he salts food before he even tastes it!! hehehe _________________

Thank you so much for pointing this water site out to us. I thought I drank enough water. My probelm is I drink it all when I get home from work. And I drank more when I smoked. I couldn't stand to have a dry mouth. I have to drink water if I smoked.
Thanks again.
Bottoms Up!
Love, Londa _________________

Thanks for the link, Mariko.
I never knew I needed as much water as I am drinking these days, but I feel better since I am drinking it. I can really tell the difference when I forget to drink it.
