Does drinking 8 glasses a day improve ur health and if not does it do anything at all?
Question:
Answers:
Scientific study shows that drinking more than necessary (proportionately to body weight and physical activity) may actually make you un-healthy. The reason is that if you drink too much water, it will flush out all the nutrients and minerals that your body needs, and make you actually weaker.
So, 8 glasses of water may be fine for someone who is working out a lot, since he is sweating a lot. But he will also need to replenish all the minerals that he lost - that's why sports drinks have sugars, and other mineral salts in them. For a person who doesn't do much physical work, he doesn't need that much water. Also, it depends on your body-weight and body-mass. If you are a small guy, drinking 8 glasses may be too much. But if you're a big guy, drinking 8 glasses may not be enough.
That depends on what you are drinking. If it's water, yes. Beer, not so much. Bleach, it will kill you!
