I am a very strong believer of this, and have been for many years.
The body is already ~75% water, so keeping it refreshed with good clean water is essential.
If you want to really look into it, look into “intra-cellular hydration” which os one of the greatest secrets of maintaining good full body health.
There is a reason why the aliens address us as “ugly bags of mostly water”. :)
Gen. Ripper: He said war was to important to be left to the Generals. When he said that, fifty years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
One said no salt.
Other said drink tons of water.
He washed out all his electrolytes and was prone to passing out.
When we figured it out, Mom fed him salted chips and crackers to keep his salt levels normal.
I remind myself of this good advice frequently.
No thanks, I don’t drink.
Since it is nearly all water, does coffee count? Beer?
I try to drink 60 oz of water every day. I weigh ~135 lb. My last lab showed my sodium was slightly low at 132. For a change, my potassium was WNL, at 4.3 vs the usual 3.4. I feel okay but electrolytes can be tricky so who knows what’s really going on inside me.
You can actually die from drinking too much water
While you’re at it, remember to hyperventilate.
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) can be dangerous to human life. Despite this truth, most people are not unduly concerned about the dangers of it.
Get your facts straight on this DHMO so you do not succumb to its dangers. A Dihydrogen Monoxide overdose can be fatal.
This is too, but low sodium levels are bad for you too, there is a healthy range
Another casual (not causal) relationship for click bait. Sodium levels have nothing to do with longevity or heart disease. The low sodium cartel has been trying to prove it for 50 years to no avail.
Persons with high sodium levels have so many lifestyle issues one cannot count them. It is those lifestyle issues that cause a minuscule reduction in life expectancy. High sodium levels are a symptom not a cause.
I liked the one about persons who drink three but less than seven glasses of red wine living many years longer.
I propose that eating a burrito whilst driving a Chevrolet more than 20 years old may shorten ones live expectancy by 5 years.
But, of course, there is always naming your child Klaus or DeAndre. Klaus will live to 91, DeAndre will take the room temperature challenge at 30 or before.
Hope to lose the 30 covid pounds I gained after getting Epstein Barr Virus (adult mononucleosis) since last OCT 21 when I got the 3rd booster stupidly......
I'll pick up the pace and break out the big berkey filters for pristine water. I'm a coffee and sparkling ice drinker.
