HEALTH TIPS : ONLY DRINK WATER WHEN THIRSTY
HEALTH TIPS:
ONLY DRINK WATER WHEN YOU THIRSTY, NEW STUDY SUGGEST.
Popular notion holds that eight glasses of water is the optimal amount to drink each day. But many people find this hard to achieve.
Given that around 60 percent of human body weight is made up of water, it is no surprise that water is essential for human health, aiding every bodily function.
While you may have heard that eight(8) ounce glasses of water each day - but there is no scientific evidence that pinpoints precisely how much fluid is the optimal amount.
Based on studies to date, the institute of Medicine (IOM) recommend that women should aim to drink around 2.2litres of total beverages daily (around 9 cups), while men should aim to consume around 3litres of total beverages daily (around 13 cups).
However, contrary to these recommendations the new study suggests we should only drink when we are thirsty, after discovering a mechanism that makes drinking excess water challenging.
The researchers say their findings suggest that when it comes to water intake, if we just do what our body demands us to we'll probably get it right - just drink according to thirst rather than an elaborate schedule.
