READ 12 ARTICLES AND GOT 8 DIFFERENT ANSWERS
My local paper mentioned that March was NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH and part of their advice was about how much water we should drink. They advised that you should make water consumption a high priority. "Make a gallon of water a day your goal-and even more if you are active" and they continued, including all of the pluses.
I have never agreed with this idea of drinking a full gallon of water a day which was very popular years ago with a major dieting group. After reading this article, I researched to see what Jane Brody, the Personal Health columnist for the New York Times had to say in a book she had written."Every weight- loss regimen urges followers to drink 8 cups of water a day"was her answer.
In 1992 a professor of medicine and nutrition at Tufts University in Boston developed a revised food guide pyramid for Americans over 70. On the bottom of the food guide were 8 (8 ounce) bottles of water.
A book that arrived in the mail today by Robert J. Davis, PhD who has a very impressive background in nutrition and health and his words were: "In general though, there is nothing wrong with drinking lots of water if it makes you feel better or healthier. JUST BE PREPARED FOR THOSE EXTRA BATHROOM TRIPS TO INTERFERE WITH THE NUMBER ONE HEALTH PRIORITY FROM THAT SURVEY OF WOMEN: GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP".....AMEN!!!!!!!! ("lots" meant about 8 cups)
