Does drinking water really do anything?!

This is the most natural way of maintaining your body ,whichis,after all,like the cucumber mainly made of water!!

hahahaha

worst study ever.

2 people isn't an accurate study and is statistically useless.

it doesn't account for a whole bunch of variables ie. how much water they were getting in other foods or drinks, individual differences, time without water, ect.

The simple answer is yes, water really does do something.

most of food is water anyway.

most of your body is water.

water helps you digest better, boost metabolism, ie. loose weight.

a lot of times when we think we are hungry, we are just thirsty.

I think the point is that it is way healthier than drinking the alternatives to water: e.g. pop, alcohol, coffee, etc.

You won't experience negative effects by drinking water, that's for sure.

Charles is right. Two people proves nothing, and what they were eating played a large role as well. Water flushes your system of toxins. It's quite necessary.

This is the Beer, Wine and Spirits Board. Please post in the appropriate section next time.

It does. The problem with the study is that its not the SAME person. Everyone has different reactions but for the most part water does make it better

You dont HAVE to drink 8 glasses of water a day but its not bad to do it. drinking water instead soda or other stuff definatley helps.

it hydrates you, flushes out the bad stuff, and drinking more could help get rid of excess water weight.

Yes because it has no calories, and it hydrates for system.98% is water

Without water you could exist no more than a few days. That is why water is considered the most important nutrient to our body. Our bodies are made up of approximately 60-65 percent water. Muscle is made up of 70 percent water, while fat is only 22 percent. Water is responsible for transporting needed nutrients to the body's cells and transporting the waste out. This is why water is so important to us.

When a person does not drink enough water daily his or her body will tend to save it. We call this water weight. It occurs when the body stores more water than is necessary. There are other reasons some people are prone to water weight. For some it may be a diet high in sodium or starchy carbohydrates. For women it may fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle.

How much water do we need daily? Some professionals say 64 ounces, while others say ? ounce per pound of body weight. Since no two people are alike I recommend drinking ? ounce of water per pound of body weight considering you have no medical ailments. For example, some people with heart problems are unable to drink that much fluid or a dangerous amount of fluid buildup could occur. If you are one of these people consult with your physician for advice.

Your daily water intake could also vary depending on your physical activity level. The more active you are the more water your body will need.

You can get water from a variety of sources like fruits, fruit juice, tea, soft drinks, and some foods; however the more water you drink in plain form the better.

Since most city water contains chlorine and other unwanted contaminants we recommend drinking reverse osmosis water.

NOTE: Even though soft drinks contain water keep in mind that most also contain caffeine which actually dehydrates the body. In fact, any drink that contains caffeine will act as a diuretic.

Water and Fat Loss

The levels of oxygen in the bloodstream are greater when the body is well hydrated. The more oxygen the body has readily available the more fat it will burn for energy. Without the presence of oxygen the body cannot utilize stored fat for energy efficiently. Not only will the body burn more fat when well hydrated but because the increased oxygen levels you will also have more energy.

Drink water, it will do your body good!
hope this helps!
