We are meant to drink water. If you want to know quantities, it is your body weight in kilos multiplied by either .033 if you are inactive or .044 if you are active. Oh, they argue away, the dehydrated - “There is water in the fruit and vegetables I eat. I do not need to drink extra water”. Blah blah blah. Nice water helps flush the kidneys and keeps that brain going. Fruit juice, sweetened water or vitamin water won’t do. Grow up. You’re not a baby that needs to be tempted to eat something. Strangely, if you’re dehydrated, water tastes awful. But if you are overhydrated, water tastes so great you can’t get enough. Most peculiar.



Now some people do drink their water. I have seen them do it. I have seen people drink about a litre and a half of water during about 50 mins of gym time!! But, apart from exercising, they never drink water because they prefer the infantile sweetened stuff. Utterly amazing. If you are exercising for a couple of hours, you need to hydrate regularly. But, if your hydration levels are good, you can survive a 50 minute exercise period on a few sips. Not half a gallon of the stuff!! And sure, after exercise, drink plenty of water, but also drink plenty before. Water is drunk bit by bit throughout the day. Water. The Drink of Adults.
