I live in the desert. People I know suffer from dehydration constantly. You think they’d learn...
Be careful for kidney stones with green teas. One of the lovely things they don’t warn you about.
Great move on the sodas. And yes, water before a meal is fine to reduce some appetite and get your system prepared for ingestion.
Water will dilute the digestive juices in the stomach and make them less effective.
Thanks. I hadn’t heard that.
I read an article (Web MD?) where it stated that the most effective way to prevent recurrence of kidney stone is to drink water - iirc it was 8 cups. There were also warning against eating too much - whatever too much is - spinach and rhubarb.
Hmmmm....

I did recently hear that you should drink some water just before bed so as not to dehydrate during the night.
That’s probably true. You’ll be waking up in the middle of the night by the urge to get rid of that bedtime water you drank and while you’re up, hey, get a drink!
LOL!
K-cups are recyclable, all you have to do is to take off the aluminum foil at the top, put the coffee grounds with the compost and take the plastic bottom ... . Easy to do in several minutes. All it takes is time, time, time ...
Also you can keep some water beside your bed, in case you need some in the middle of the night.
Water helps your system clean itself as it goes through the system.
It dilutes the blood stream and gives the liver and kidneys a chance to clean the blood stream.
Caffeine(a part of coffee and soft drinks) drinks and beer do no such thing.
If you get too dehydrated the system gets uncomfortable
and starts drawing water from the sacs around the nerves and other locations.
Any “doctor” or “scientist” who says water is equal to caffeine drinks and beer is a fraud.
How do you like that? What a surprise. Just listen to your body as it'll tell you what you need. Hungry? Then eat. Thirsty? Have some water. Urge to relieve yourself? Head to the throne. Sleepy? Go to bed. Feeling frisky? Well...you're on your own, there.
Coffee is good for you, no, coffee is bad, no, more than 3 cups of coffee (3cc) is bad, no, 2 cc is good, no, 4cc is ... . Settled science is just the last peer or semi-purred paper that the Journalism-major editor thought he understood (but didn't).
People on a waiting list for a kidney transplant have to get their blood tested once a week.
If any alcohol, residue from cigarettes, or any detection of having SOFT DRINKS is found
the person is BOOTED OUT of the program and their name taken off the list.
Soft drinks put a terrible strain on the kidneys.
A great trick to limit food consumption during meals is to eat some fruit first...sugar in the fruit will raise glucose levels in the blood quicker, which should drive down hunger pangs.
The same medical industry that demands you be filled up with drugs
spits at the idea of drinking water.
A great trick to limit food consumption during meals
is to eat smaller portions.
The clams and oysters are really pissed...they want some acid, too.
