Woman drinks a gallon of water per day and the results are shocking!

I can't validate what is being said in this article, but I have had good success drinking lots of water in the past. Used to do a lot of weight lifting in my younger years. Drinking a lot of water made a dramatic difference in both my weight and performance. I don't know about a gallon a day though. At my peak muscle mass I was drinking a gallon plus a day, but I was 270 pound 6'3" male. I doubt your average soccer mom needs that much.

FYI, I drank well water that was very clean, had a good mix of minerals, and no flouride! I used plastic containers but it was only in them a very short time, so I doubt much BPA leached into the water.

I make sure I drink tons of water daily and limit myself to 1 cup of coffee. I was a huge soda drinker but since giving that up feel a lot better. Water is good to flush all our toxins out too. With a chronic illness I have tons to flush haha

Women are emotional eaters, they eat not for nutrition, they eat to feel good--everything is about their feelings. It's not so much the health value of water but drinking water makes her feel full thereby reduces her need to push crappy feel good food into her pie-hole.

lol look at the tard comments at the link saying how water is bad. i guess their sodas are better lol! absurd.

Not wise to hydrate with alcohol...booze DEHYDRATES you genius!

Drop the booze to see a real life improvement. Alcohol is a poison for Gods sake. Loose that stuff !

Getting good quality water in a city isn't so easy.

Exactly. Humans are weak, watery beings. We are mostly water. Dihydrogen monoxide (Water), Is the only liquid humans need.

I love how these thread always bring out the dummies who think they are smart.

As someone else pointed out, the Earth is NOT 70% water. The Earths SURFACE is roughly covered 70% with water. Huge difference.

The surface area of the earth may be 70% water covered.

The planet is not made up of 70% water. Two totally different things.

If you are a man, be careful with hops you will get big boobies!

Most get up

Drink coffee

Have a soda at work

More coffee

Then sleep

Recipe for disaster

Forgive me OP, but I had to modify your text slightly so it makes sense to us Nordics.

A lot of people also drink alcohol right before sleeping and wake up drinking coffee. That's a bad mix of diuretics and no fluid intake for 6-8 hrs. Then they wonder why they feel so run down.

You forgot to include the teaspoon of seasalt with that one bottle

I used to work desktop support for a major computer hardware company. They had free water everywhere so I would drink all day long until I got high. It's pretty easy to do it takes about 5 12 oz bottles in 1 hour

Downside is you get super cold, and once the steel is broke you have to pee every 10 minutes

Good times

Oh yeah I forgot to mention.... Don't over do it you can die

This is correct. It is called water intoxication or dilutional hyponatremia (screwed up electrolyte balance), which in turn causes water to enter the body cells and swell them. The science class experiment where a semi-permeable membrane "balloon" with a high salt solution (hypertonic) is placed into a solution with little salt (hypotonic) is a basic example of what happens...it grows or even bursts the balloon.

The take away is water always chases salt. This movement of water from low to high concentration of solute (dissolved salt in this case) is called osmosis. This is how a loop diuretic like furosemide (Lasix) works. It causes the kidneys to not reabsorb salt therefore causing water to chase the salt and to be urinated (both salt and water are lost). Unfortunately, lasix also causes the kidneys to not reabsorb as much potassium as well, thus why people taking strong diuretics like this often receive potassium supplements in conjuction with furosemide therapy.

The wiki mentions that healthy kidneys can excrete about a max of 1 liter per hour under normal conditions. Stress such as prolonged physical exercise (e.g. marathon running) and pathological states (kidney failure) can greatly reduce this number. Slamming a gallon of water down (3.785 liters) in one sitting is a bad idea. In some pathological states like heart failure water intake and sodium intake is oftentimes very strickly regulated...so drinking tons of water is not a cure all, and sometimes can be extremely dangerous depending on the specific situation.

If you do not know how much water you should be drinking or salt you should be consuming discuss it with your Dr.

The salt water is HARD to get down, but necessary. I mix 1/4tsp of the pink mineral salt in like an ounce of water and drink it like a shot... then drink a glass of water to chase it down.
I know people who will sip salt water all day... I'd throw up.

See Mandrake! You are made up of mostly water. We must protect our precious bodily fluids.

If you really want to make noticeable lasting changes in your life try drinking a gallon of vodka a day.

70% of The Earths surface is covered in water.The Earth is only less than 1% water by volume or mass

Are you here?

I drink 8-10 16.9 oz. bottles of water a day while I work. I also have 1.25 to 1.5 times the "recommended daily amount" of sodium daily to replenish my salt intake along with the Gatorade my work hands out for free.

Best shape of my life and am 10 pounds to my "fighting weight" down from 60 pounds overweight before I started drinking lots of water with the amount of sodium I intake.

It really works.

tho ?

Pictures were taken in different lighting conditions.

In picture 1 the light came from above (most likely arteficial light, was taken at night or evening I guess), in picture 2 the light source is in front of her.
That's why you see the shadows in her eye sockets in picture 1 as well as other shadows (up-light generally isn't nice to an older face). In picture 2 the light is flat which makes disappear all wrinkles.

As a photographer I know about these things.

Making me thirsty!

Yup, I drink me at least a gallon of water a day as well.

too much water intake may cause death..
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

besides it depends where you stay..in tropical countries,a man must drink 4-5 liter of water per day..in colder climates,1-2 liter would be enough

Me too!!!

Here's a link which I hope works. It does show a difference (not radical, but realistic). She's hydrated and it shows.
