Water intake

Did anyone see the report on CNN regarding the latest research on the 8 glasses a day is necessary for good health crap??

Well the research showed that it does nothing to improves ones health and is hardly necessary..

I wish I could find it..

Anyone, anyone??

I don't see it. Just a lot on drugs in the water supply and sewage spills in water. Did you see the article recently posted in the research forum?

Yeah I've been saying it for years as well..how many of us have dogs or cats that drink bowls of water(unless they have a health condition) a day?

I used to carry around a gallon of water and try and drink that during my bodybuilding days..I felt horrible..bloated, headaches, kidiney pains and guilty if I did not drink all of it..hell Shawn Ray did it and recommended it so it had to be the thing to do right?? I mean afterall he was second in the Olympia..had to be an expert..

I live in Arizona and I'm out hiking in the desert alot..I drink when Im thirsty a little more if needed and that is it..and I do very well not taking in 8 glasses of water a day.
