My 2009 Journey

johnereb · 03-29-2009, 07:53 PM

I've had some serious kidney stone problems so I aim for 112 ounces of water per day. More when it's hot and on excercise days.

Kidney stones can be caused all kind of infections, eating unwashed fruits and veggies, drinking too much soda, not drinking enough water ..

this is a pretty good article.
It basicaly states that if you drink too much water, you can dilute your salts which will lead to problems. So you CAN drink too much water, if you arne't keeping your system balanced.
TOO MUCH WATER CAN KILL YOU - WATER INTOXICATION

If I drink that much water without adding sodium to my diet, I think I would pass out.. I make sure to add sea salt, seasonings to my meals and getting back on my vitamins, minerals to balance out
I used to drink 1 - 1.5 gallons of water everday few years ago, for about 4 years and had no problems

Why so much water?

sara · 03-31-2009, 08:07 PM

Besides flushing out kidneys and entire digestive system, hydrating my body, and brain; allowing the metabolism to function more effectively.
makes my skin tone nicer, drinking more water in the past have helped me with dropping water "water retention".

I've been trying to drink more water but I dont think I can make a gallon!

although I have done a gal 1/2 a long time ago, but ALL I did that day was pee

**Built** · 03-31-2009, 10:16 PM

You need water, and of course you will flush water when you do this because excess water intake suppresses aldosterone, but outside peak week, a gallon a day is hardly necessary.

You must really love peeing! LOL!

It feels good to pee and its clear

**Built** · 04-01-2009, 05:48 PM

It'll keep you cleaned out, that's for sure.

Are you worried that you'll wash out a lot of your water-soluble nutrients? I always wonder about that. I drink a lot of water, but not THAT much. I probably drink half of what you do.

sara · 04-01-2009, 05:57 PM

It's soo hot here.. in the winter I do 1/2 gallon

I take a good multi vitamin,minerals and add some seasonings, salt to my food since I intake about a gallon of water a day

One thing that really helps is setting a "goal"
When you set a goal you are much more likely to achieve it than not having a goal.. and the more specific your goal is the better .. Your goal might be a wedding, a reunion, certain dress size, etc.. you are much likely to stick to the the plan

Our goals are trips we take to warmer parts.... lol... it's cold here up North, so we have to go every once in a while to get our dose of sun.. when you know you'll have to put on a bikini,,, that does wonders for the dieting

Burner02 · 04-02-2009, 09:14 PM
