RE: What happens when you drink a gallon of water every day?

in #life9 years ago (edited)

Yes, more water is good. But don't forget minerals also. The body needs electrolytes. Water can add them or it can wash some of them (cleaning out the bad and some of the good) out of your body. Some weak tea, a squeeze of lemon, a little juice, or a pinch of sea salt may be a good addition to all that water.

YES! Brilliant comment, How did I forget the electrolytes.
I noticed that when I drink too much plain water throughout the day, It makes me feel tired, then I add some electrolytes and I feel better! Thank you for this comment.

Green tea or herbal tea is also very healthy and may be easier to drink if you're not a fan of cold water. I began drinking 4 tall glasses of water and 4 mugs of green tea about a month ago and can vouch that my skin is clearer, looks healthier (hydrated) and that the dark circles beneath my eyes have faded. It has also contributed to my having lost three pounds without changing my diet. For some reason, drinking a glass of water before each meal has mildly suppressed my appetite.

I love green tea! Thats good for you! I'm glad you do that. I love that water can make you feel full, OUr bodies get so confused. That caffeine in the tea also probably helped you lose weight :)
