Re: an interesting article about water

Yes - yet another example of following external rules instead of internal

signals.

Good input for thought Kip It shows that 'one size doesn't fit all' even in

the water drinking department! I know that when I drink plain water, I get

'drier'. It seems that my kidneys end up taking electrolytes from my body when

too much water is passed thru me. I actually need a little bit of salt sometimes

to re-hydrate so I can sleep comfortably. Other wise my nasal passages and mouth

are uncomfortably dry feeling.

I do know that drinking water helps keep my going when I am doing 'hard' work

outdoors. I read that the first team to get to the summit of Everest did so

because they drank water (which the other teams hadn't). So I learned that

hydrating myself while working did help with my outdoor work. Yet when I am

indoors and doing something like sewing, a small bottle of water sipped as I go

is enough. And what I then have to watch myself for is to actually eat as I tend

to focus and push on when I am doing a project. I too often catch myself getting

light headed and irritated, usually just as I want to finish up.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me that INternal information beats EXternal

'standards' every time :)

Thanks for sharing this article. It's great validation for an intuitive way of

responding to our bodily needs. I've never been able to drink 8 glasses a day

comfortably. So, I gave up on that " rule " years ago!

I tried to reply to this earlier but yahoo seems to be doing wacky things

lately. I had a really funny response to this and of course the moment has now

passed. But anyway, here is what I remember from trying to post earlier:

I totally agree that we need to let our bodies tell us when we need a drink.

The ONLY time I've ever drank 8 glasses of water a day is when I was DIETING.

It reminds me of the book Mutant Message Down Under. Can you imagine the

aborigines lugging their Brita pitchers around?
