Water lovely water
So i have been drinking water from bottles which to my understanding 6-8 water bottles a day isnt that healthy. So i started drinking water from the tap with a filter at the end so im trying to fix my way of hydration.
How do you ninjetters stay hydrated hopefully not from a bowl.

If I'm going anywhere besides work or gym (which have filtered water coolers) I fill a bottle at home and take it with me.
What's unhealthy about bottled water? Certainly no good for the environment if you're going through 8 bottles a day...

Well it could be the amount and not the content. It is possible to over-hydrate to the point of death. The US Army found this out the hard way a few years back when a soldier who had all the typical signs of dehydration was made to drink more and more water. He later died because of having thinned out his blood too much with the excessive amounts of water he drank. So it's best to figure out the balance and not go excessive or too light.

8 bottles of water is not nearly enough to be considered over consumption. Unless it was 8 of those liter bottles and he drank them all within 5 minutes. If anything, most people don't drink enough water throughout the day. That's not to argue against the fact that over-hydration does happen, because obviously that's possible.

I have one of these. I put milk, banana, oats, peanut butter and whey powder in it. That's like 600 calories (tastes orgasmic) so it fills me up and somewhat hydrated. One of the best $9 purchases I've ever made because it's so easy to clean.
I figure on taking it with me in a backpack when I go to work or the gym. Otherwise I drink a lot of water from the tap after it's been through a Brita filter. I guess a few bottles of water won't hurt. You could buy 32 oz Gatorade in bulk maybe

Yeah. Best to drink out of a bpa free bottle. I've been through about a dozen bottles so far and this is the best one I've found.

Steel and aluminum bottles can also have plastic coatings on the inside, so you'll want to make sure those are bpa free as well.

The myth about having to drink 6 or 8 bottles of water a day is just that - a myth, from the water companies trying to sell you those bottles of water, and they have done a really good job at spreading the propaganda. Your body will tell you what you need - it's called thirst. Any extra you take in is peed out, and that's what you are doing to your wallet every time you buy another bottle of water. Now, if you are excersizing heavily or working outside in the hot weather and sweating, then you should drink more. But walking around carrying a water bottle and drinking all day is nuts and accomplishes nothing. How did humans and animals exist before this became a popular fad? And how far away is a water fountain or a faucet? Most of that bottled water actually comes out of a faucet from the public water supply where they bottle it. You want to carry around your own supply, go right ahead, but it's pretty ridiculous. Going for a long bike ride in the wind can get you a little dehydrated so it's not a bad idea to stop and drink every once in a while, but for average everyday activity it's totally unnecessary.

So staying hydrated is a fad now? And I don't think a single person in this thread has made the argument that bottled water is better for you than tap...
Of all the things to preach about, drinking water makes your list?

It's NOT about drinking water, it's about the hype that you MUST have 6-8-whatever bottles a day to stay hydrated. That's wrong, (and is not supported anywhere in any medical literature, and can actually be dangerous to some people, causing hyponatremia, cerebral edema, arrythmias - look it up) but who am I (other than an MD) to argue with you?
And yes, walking around with a water bottle is a fad, and you are sooo much better hydrated too than someone without that bottle. And you never get thirsty, a symptom of mild dehydration, you can just drink whenever you want to avoid that sensation. Pee on. |

Sorry for coming on so strong. I went back to delete that last part, but too late. You get my point though.
And urine is normally yellow. Clear is your body getting rid of extra unneeded water out of your vascular system, it's diluting the normal urine. Light yellow is normal, darker, more like orangey, means you need to drink a little more, it's a little too concentrated. FYI, peeing after drinking beer makes your urine clear because you are getting rid of the extra water from your body and the alcohol interferes with ADH hormone that makes your kidneys hold on to what you need. Alcohol itself is a diuretic and makes you pee and can actually get you a little dehydrated. Enough, drink to your heart's content, like with everything else, just don't go overboard. |

That's also written in Feb. 2004, 7 1/2 years ago, but it stated that thirst should be your guide.
Here's something else I just read, that at least 20% of your daily fluid intake comes from the food you eat, and that if you're urinating at least once every 8 hours, you're hydrated enough. So, if you enjoy urinating, drink more water. Or beer. |

I have a few containers that I fill up. I have a two-stage filtration system at home that provides awesome drinking water. I have a 40-oz Kleen Kanteen, a nice Brita bottle with built in filter, and a plastic Contigo bottle with trigger. I drink all of those in one day typically.
40 + 24 + 20 = 84-oz a day. Not bad. When I go riding or running, you can tag on another 20-60-oz of water on top of that.

I missed the point. Is this thread about water or peeing?

Is drinking too much water bad for kidneys as it works harder to get it out as pee?

water toxicity has been known for ... a very long time. not "a few years ago". in the more recent years it seems to be common for idiots at raves on drugs to over hydrate and **** themselves up. its not that it "works your kidnees too hard" its that it screws up your electrolyte ballance which causes a bunch of horrible things to happen
i almost lost my kidnees due to extreme dehydration one time... they cut off part of the right one and took samples from the left one. 8 bottles of water per day is a healthy amount of water. and if you are worried about BPA, try taking a sample test of that tap water. those filters don't do a very good job filtering out nuclear byproducts, not to mention the chemicals like chlorine that they intentionally put in the tap water to kill bacteria. did you know that your body is made up of 10 times more bacteria cells vs human cells? and that you are mostly dependant on them? and that drinking chlorinated water, antibiotics, things like that kill that bacteria? chlorine and other antibacterial agents are present and mandated by government. if you want that **** in you, by all means. i'll stick to my enriched distilled water, thank you very much.

Water sustains life. So drink it. lol
FYI: Too much water can kill by water intoxication / overhydration. Known fact. But don't freak out.. A LARGE amount of water in a very SHORT period of time can kill you. But there have been documented deaths due to this. There was a lawsuit about a death caused by a contest in which you had to drink too much water in a short time and not pee. A woman died and her family was awarded many million $$$ in that lawsuit. |
