Meenzer 15825 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 As it happens, the latest research has shown there is no evidence that drinking lots of fluid is good for you. You should only drink when you are thirsty. And this after years of being told that we should all drink 17 litres a day. There's clearly a thriving market for "latest research that expressly contradicts the last lot of latest research". Or at least some bloody good grants involved, since everybody seems to be at it rather than doing anything actively useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46992 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Try getting up before Neighbours. The only thing I can add is drink lots of water during the day. Or if you can, force yourself to get up really early one day after barely any sleep and try to have a normal day. By the time night comes you'll be absolutely shattered. Why's water going to help? As it happens, the latest research has shown there is no evidence that drinking lots of fluid is good for you. You should only drink when you are thirsty. I thought if you waited until you were thirsty it was already too late - you were dehydrated by then? Surely drinking plenty water keeps your system flushed through and that. And stops you having stinky orange piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And stops you having stinky orange piss. I'm still using the evidence that shows that being hydrated has many benefits for you - helping you sleep, exercise and concentrate. As far as I know what Gemmill said is right - if you're thirsty then you should have already had a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if you waited until you were thirsty it was already too late - you were dehydrated by then? Surely drinking plenty water keeps your system flushed through and that. And stops you having stinky orange piss. Well, it turns out there was no research done on it at all, as I found out when researching why it is recommended to drink lots of fluid if you have the common cold. Getting thirsty is an indicator you need fluid, you should trust your body to know best. Drinking lots of water isn't usually harmful of course unless you really overdo it but it does require more pisses which is irritating. Also it turns out tea and coffee are not bad for you as has been made out, and, with the exception of really strong coffee, they don't dehydrate you. Another myth is salt is really bad for you. There is almost no evidence for this at all. A high salt diet may raise your blood pressure by a very small amount, which may have a noticeable effect on populations, but the effect on the individual is very slight. I really don't understand the governments official line on salt reduction which verges on hysteria. And they've made pot noodles taste shit: FACT.

As far as I know what Gemmill said is right - if you're thirsty then you should have already had a drink. I'd like to see that evidence. Real evidence that is, as opposed to common belief, which is often wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
