anyone who drinks that much water is an idiot.
water in general is not needed. it will dehydrate you even more. that's why when you drink some, you crave more water.
the reason you get thirty is from all the salt and drying cooked foods you eat. period.
the big companies like pepsi and coca cola put out that lie back in the 70's to sell more bottled water. no one drank 8 cups a day and everyone was healthy.
Well, then elite forces in the military are all idiots.
In Jump School - the normal beginning of elite forces - I went through in July - cramps were a real problem for everyone at night - and as we'd be limping the next morning, our instructors told us - "more salt, more water, but especially more salt." Sure enough, we all drank a lot of water as we were running and hustling when it was in the mid-90's F, and we were soaked in our own sweat.
Lots of salt for someone sitting on their fat *** all day - yeah - not necessary - but also the type of salt is major. Table salt will have silica and even aluminum in it to ensure it pours easily, and doesn't clump up. Tears up the insides of your arteries - and cholesterol - the means of repair - will clump up - and we all know how that goes.
Sea salt won't do that - and you can eat all you want without affecting your blood pressure. As you're not causing more clumping and stoppage.
The reason you eat SALT - is not for flavor as much as it's the sodium you need for maximizing your electrolyte differential - to increase cellular transmembrane electrical potential - energy.
You don't get salt - even if you're sedate - you'll continually weaken and eventually die. That's why the very first trade routes of early man were developed to transport - SALT.
The very idea that drinking water makes you want to drink more water - I don't have the words. I can't find the words.
And this alkaline water? Yeah, it's alright - but overblown. If the desire is to have your blood a bit alkaline - lemon in water is a tasty way to get alkaline. Lemon is acidic - and when it hits your stomach - the signal goes out, "Oh doo-doo! Too much acid!" And the body uses its mechanisms to go extra alkaline - and you do. Oh, and the vitamin C molecules have two extra electrons to donate - comes in handy as all toxins have a positive charge.
Water. Salt/Sodium. Potassium. Mandatory for life.
