Overhydration
« on: December 20, 2010, 03:07:49 AM »
The biggest misconception is the daily water intake

Some people do fine on a glass a day ...some need more

But 10 glasses a day ?? Maybe if you are 400 lbs

Drink steam distilled water whenever you are thirsty

Drinking TOO much water is very common in bb and in my opinion dangerous

best way to be hydrated is to drink half a litre on waking then wait half an hour before eating, the whole system works a lot better.

sev, why distilled? i'm of the opinion that we're not evolved to utilise it as it's essentially inert, 'dead' water stripped of any beneficial mineral etc content.

I wouldn't be able to do that if I tried.

I get by on about 2-3 litres a day, sometimes four at a push. Anything more than that and I'm in and out of the toilet all day.

For most people, in a work environment it's not practical to be taking a piss every half hour

well
distilled water is JUST water

human beings were designed to drink distilled water (naturally rain is distiled although no more)

water is primarely a flush secondarily it “hydrates“

you get your minerals and vitamins from veggies

You truly are an idiot. Go ahead and drink steam distilled water and deprive yourself of essential minerals and electrolytes.

Drink until your piss is clear- for those excreting other colours...


Abnormal colors
Since the normal color of urine is pale yellow, variations can be an indication of health problems or be the result of certain foods that have been eaten.

Clear urine
If a person has been drinking an excess of water or diuretics such as coffee or beer, the urine may have little or no color. Typically, it is nothing to worry about if it happens occasionally.

Yellow urine
Excess sweating could result in the urine becoming a deeper yellow. Also, it is a sign that you have not been drinking enough liquids

Dark yellow urine
Liver problems or jaundice can cause the urine to become consistently a dark yellow color. Be sure you have been drinking enough fluids before jumping to conclusions.

Orange urine
People who eat too many carrots--like from a juicer--may see orange urine. Also, too much Vitamin C can turn the urine orange.

Brown urine
Brown urine can an indication of a serious condition. It could be caused by liver disease, hepatitis, melanoma cancer, or copper poisoning. Other symptoms from those ailments should also be considered as indicators. But note that if you had recently eaten fava beans or taken a laxative, your urine also could turn brown.

Greenish urine
A urinary tract infection, bile problems and certain drugs can cause the urine to turn greenish. A brighter green color is an indication of an excess of B vitamins.

Blue urine
Urine with a bluish tint can be caused by a psuedomonas bacterial infection. It can also be an indication of high levels of calcium.

Reddish urine
There are a number of things that can cause the urine to have a red tint.

"Hey Tom, Have you noticed Bob peeing a lot today?"

"Why yes Bob, he must be drinking a lot of fluids!"

Water intoxication has been proved to cause death.

Roundhouse kicks to the face won't necessarily kill someone unless the kick(s) are delivered by Chuck Norris.

A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis.

The whole myth of 8-10 glasses of water was something tested on either WW1 or WW2 Military men,,,,after being out in the trenches they found it it took 8-10 glasses of water to fully hydrate them....very outdated info!

If your pee is clear...your hydrated....case closed!

If you take a lot of vitamins throughout the day and BCAA's you're not going to see clear urine too much.

This is true.

Drinking distilled water is stupid, and the claim that rain was distilled is totally ridiculous.
