H2O — too much? too little?
Upped my water intake about a week ago and am now drinking about 80oz/day. Some might say "not enough" but considering I used to only drink one in the morning and mostly none all day I’d say that this is pretty good. Have to figure out how to be done well ahead of bedtime though — find myself having to get up a few times a night now, and I’m already a lousy sleeper as it is.
Anyway, question: What is your personal opinion on water intake?
Reason I ask is that I’ve recently read two articles claiming that ‘driinking a gallon a day’ (or more, or less, depending on the source, calculations, etc.) is not necessarily good for you. One writer is Tony Robbins, and the other is Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale who contributes articles to BodyBuilding.com. You can read Dr. Pasquale water article at http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/md63.htm.
Both of these writers claim that we should just listen to our bodies, if we’re thirsty, hydrate it and basically …. minimum quantities be damned.
Opinions?
I’m sticking with the majority and will continue to drown myself.
