What happens if you only drink water. No other liquids but water. Is that good for you?!


Question: I used to drink a lot of soft drinks, etc and have started to only drink water. I know it cleans out the system very well, and is good for other reasons, but what are the cons to this if any??

Why would there be cons? What do you think people did before there were soft drinks, coffee, tea, juices, etc. readily available. You are probably drinking the healthiest and most pure means of hydration. Good for you!

it is possible to over hydrate and litterally flood your system

Just watch your electrolytes. You can drink too much water.

Depends on the water.

Water is the best thing you can drink. You'll see an improvement in your skin and hair. Be careful not to drink too much water. Check this site.

No way, water is the best thing you an drink and you will know how much you need. They say 10 to 12 full glasses per day is normal. Keep up the good work..

Back when I wasn't a caffeine addict, all I drank was water too. The only issue that I can think of is that when you drink juice and some teas, you get vitamins and antioxidants. But if you eat healthy and take your vitamins, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Drinking water is good for you but it doesn't have all the vitamins & nutrients as some fruit juices or gatorade/powerade has. I drink a lot of water myself but sometimes when I drink too much of it, I don't feel replenished. Then I have to drink something else. Juices & sports drinks are not bad for but do have a lot of sugar in them. Try lite drinks.

Water is the only fluid the human body is primarily designed for!

That's great to drink mostly water, but once in awhile you should drink milk as well because milk is extrememly good for you too.

The only cons that come to mind is that some drinks other than water are infused with vitamins and electrolytes that your body might not otherwise get. Many of the vitamins infused in drinks and foods, our bodies cannot readily make and therefore it is supplied in foods and drinks most often consumed. Granted, water is the best substance for your body since it makes up 75% of it. However, if a person does not receive the appropriate amounts of the vitamins and minerals then deficiencies can occur, causing severe illness. To remedy this, simply take a multivitamin.

Water is the best thing to drink. Far superior to anything else.

Yes. it also cleans out your bones (meaning wash the calcium out of them). They'll break very easily when you get to be old.

no cons at all. As long as you are eating well, if you drank water and only water, good for you. I prefer a cup of tea or coffee also, but water does flush your body. The empty calories in soda and alcohol are not as good for you as water.

probably the best drink one can have. Naturally good.
