Do you have 8 cups of water ?

[ChinesePussy]

Anyway i run out of topic. so I just want to talk about health. I myself consider a very healthy person.

I know the 8 cups of water is great for everything in your body also so much benefit into skin as well.

Every day I drink 2 cups (500ml) of milk, 3 cups (750ml) of green tea, and 3 - 4 cups(750ml - 1000ml) of spring water.

so in total i have 8 to 9 cups of water. This is not including fruits or soup.

I always wondering if i really have enought water every day. I can't take any more than this or less than this. I am not an over weight person, I am 5'6 tall and 108bls.

so how much water do you drink per day?


just wondering that is all.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You can not count milk or the tea as part of your 6-8 glasses of water according to my physician. Actually there is a formula for how much water you should consume based on your weight.

"A simple calculation for determining your actual water requirements is to multiply your body weight by 0.6 and then divide it by 12.This will give you the number of 8 ounce glasses of water you need per day."...just pulled that off a nutritional site discussing body requirements.

The found this contradictory article

Hmmm, that's interesting.

Ok, let's give it a whirl...

Alright...yup, got that right...carry the four...round off...and THERE!


3,300 cups a day! Wow, that's a lot of water.

I am 106 bls

so i take 106 X 0.6 = 64.2 / 12 = 5.35

so is that mean i need 5.35 ounces of water ??? :confused:

How do you type and drink so much, WI?

I drink lots of water throughout the day. I got in the habit when I lived in the mountains. Gotta stay hydrated, people!

Listen to Dr. Lilith.Milk and tea don't count.Neither does beer or Coke or pepsi,it has to be plain water.

It's called an I-V Steph. They generally have those for certain types in the psych ward. I'm still surprised the Dr's allow him so much computer time. Of course the other patients are much safer when he is pre-occupied...

I drink Decaffe green tea

I don't drink coffe, coke or any pop. I hate caffein stuff

I drink water and decaffe tea.

Lilith

is that means i only need 5 - 6 glasses of water?

dam! if i only have 6 glasses (of water) = 1500ml I don't feel enought

every 1 hour i drink like 1 to 2 cups of liquid.

[Steph]

All green tea is caffeine free, isn't it? It's still not a direutic (sp.) and isn't considered water.

[LixyChick]

I drink water all day. I start the day with coffee (1/2 cup coffee and top it with water.....another 1/2 cup and top it with water....and maybe one more time during the day....but not always).......and then the rest of the day I always have water with me. Well.....till the evening when I might have a beer to wind down from all that coffee and water, but I'll usually hold out till Friday evening for that.

[Lilith]

Green tea still has caffeine I think, cause you can buy it decaffeinated.

[denny]

Lilith, I can't possibly drink that much! I'd spend all day in the john peeing.

[Lilith]

I am considering moving the computer to the bathroom counter:D

[denny]

Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!!

[osuche]

<-- Drinks somewhere between 12-14 cups per day.

If you're like me and work out often, you need to drink more than the minimum. I've gotten addicted to water -- if I don't get enough I develop headaches and get crabby.

[ChinesePussy]

yup! i myself addict to water as well. I drink more than 2 litters of water per day which is more than average. no wonder i look great! hehheheee

[juicylucy]

its reccomended to drink 150ml every hour you're awake. This works out at just less than 2 and a half litres a day for most people. Keeps bowel movements nice and healthy too!
