Do you have 8 cups of water ?
 
Anyway i run out of topic. so I just want to talk about health. I myself consider a very healthy person.

I know the 8 cups of water is great for everything in your body also so much benefit into skin as well.

Every day I drink 2 cups (500ml) of milk, 3 cups (750ml) of green tea, and 3 - 4 cups(750ml - 1000ml) of spring water.

so in total i have 8 to 9 cups of water. This is not including fruits or soup.

I always wondering if i really have enought water every day. I can't take any more than this or less than this. I am not an over weight person, I am 5'6 tall and 108bls.

so how much water do you drink per day?


just wondering that is all.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You can not count milk or the tea as part of your 6-8 glasses of water according to my physician. Actually there is a formula for how much water you should consume based on your weight.

"A simple calculation for determining your actual water requirements is to multiply your body weight by 0.6 and then divide it by 12.This will give you the number of 8 ounce glasses of water you need per day."...just pulled that off a nutritional site discussing body requirements.

The found this contradictory article

Hmmm, that's interesting.

Ok, let's give it a whirl...

Alright...yup, got that right...carry the four...round off...and THERE!


3,300 cups a day! Wow, that's a lot of water.

I am 106 bls

so i take 106 X 0.6 = 64.2 / 12 = 5.35

so is that mean i need 5.35 ounces of water ??? :confused:

How do you type and drink so much, WI?

I drink lots of water throughout the day. I got in the habit when I lived in the mountains. Gotta stay hydrated, people!

Listen to Dr. Lilith.Milk and tea don't count.Neither does beer or Coke or pepsi,it has to be plain water.

It's called an I-V Steph. They generally have those for certain types in the psych ward. I'm still surprised the Dr's allow him so much computer time. Of course the other patients are much safer when he is pre-occupied...

I drink Decaffe green tea

I don't drink coffe, coke or any pop. I hate caffein stuff

I drink water and decaffe tea.

Lilith

is that means i only need 5 - 6 glasses of water?

dam! if i only have 6 glasses (of water) = 1500ml I don't feel enought

every 1 hour i drink like 1 to 2 cups of liquid.

Steph 01-29-2004 09:18 PM

All green tea is caffeine free, isn't it? It's still not a direutic (sp.) and isn't considered water.

LixyChick 01-29-2004 09:21 PM

I drink water all day. I start the day with coffee (1/2 cup coffee and top it with water.....another 1/2 cup and top it with water....and maybe one more time during the day....but not always).......and then the rest of the day I always have water with me. Well.....till the evening when I might have a beer to wind down from all that coffee and water, but I'll usually hold out till Friday evening for that.

Lilith 01-29-2004 10:44 PM

Green tea still has caffeine I think, cause you can buy it decaffeinated.

denny 01-29-2004 10:55 PM

Lilith, I can't possibly drink that much! I'd spend all day in the john peeing.

Lilith 01-29-2004 11:08 PM

I am considering moving the computer to the bathroom counter:D

denny 01-29-2004 11:13 PM

Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!!
