Question about daily 8 glasses of water.?!
I can't STAND drinking water by itself ( I know, it's silly!. Just try to bear with me)!. So I usually make it a light lemonade with low calorie sweetener or add crystal light packets or at LEAST a few drops of lemon!. Does sweetened water count in my daily 8 glasses!? (including that flavored water marketed as flavorsplash)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It has become accepted wisdom that drinking 8 or more glasses of water a day is good for your health but recently this has been questioned by scientists!. Drinking a lot of water has become an obsession with North Americans but there is no scientific evidence that supports this need!. Since when did we become so dehydrated that we need to suck on water all the time!? There may even be disadvantages; in drinking too much water you may be taking in pollutants; most water is not perfectly pure!. For myself, I think it's all bunk!. I don't drink water except when I'm actually thirstly which under normal conditions, is about twice a day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Medically you don't need to drink eight glasses a day!. You only need to rehydrate what you sweat out!. Keep in mind you do perspire without knowing!. Doctors say if your thirsty then drink, otherwise don't be concerned!. That saying came about some years ago because for some reason people were getting dehydrated!. So, someone came up with an expression to remind people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, it does count as your eight glasses a day!. However, if you choose to ad sweetners or crystal light, your just adding in a few calories and such into the water; you are still getting the water you need!. I prefer the crytal light because it is only 5 calories and it tastes great!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes it counts, if it is that bad for you you can drink fresh Juice, BUT REMEBER that a lot of acid can bring you blood tenstion lower so stay aware!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
