| The more I age the more important hydration turns out to be. Gastric issues, joint pain, blood pressure, weight problems, kidney stones, bad breath, constipation.. and now brain issues too? Do yourself a favor, and start drinking a ton of water! |

| Not too sure - an overload of water can actually be dangerous i think. |

| 3 liters everyday actually to keep muscle and brain work properly. |

| ▲ | wiseowise 13 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It’s a glass of water an hour. Hardly excessive. | |
| ▲ | riffraff an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | it's a matter of habit. 3l of liquids per day is what various doctors in different (european) countries have recommended me over the years. | | |
| ▲ | 0xEF 31 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Are we sure this is not just harmless and arbitrary information being parroted? Do we have verifiable sources other that anecdote? I find it hard to believe that there is just a single value for water intake across the massive biological spectrum that is humanity and expect to see a range when this conversation comes up. You're also getting water from foods, which I am sure is not being accounted for. Reminds me of the 10k steps a day that just happened to be "correct enough" to be believed and acted on. The truth is much more nuanced and depends on a number of factors in a person's physical health. Without concrete verifiable findings, the best we can do is learn to pay attention to our bodies and drink maybe a little bit more water than we think we need to. |

| ▲ | BiteCode_dev 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | 7 litters... | | |
| ▲ | HlessClaudesman 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | ...Not that much... 3ish liters spread out over the day is good. Too much water will strip your body of electrolytes and salt. I recently upped my water intake and can report that my skin and mood feel better. I caffeinate with a strong coffee and 2 cups of tea in the morning, and around 12 I switch to pint glasses of water every 2 hours or so until 6-7 o'clock. | | |
| ▲ | sevenzero 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yea 2.5-3l seems to be the proper amount. Only drawback is having to pee every 30 minutes. | | |
| ▲ | dotancohen 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | That's an advantage - it means you're not sitting e.g. at a computer monitor and keyboard for too long. Getting up twice an hour (to pee or not) greatly reduces the potential for ergonomic harm that desk jobs - especially computer use -are known for. | | | |
| ▲ | solumunus an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | If you're peeing that much then evidently your body is not using all that water you're consuming. Either it's more than you need, or you're lacking in electrolytes and should increase electrolyte intake alongside the water. | | |
| ▲ | Gigachad an hour ago | parent [-] | | Your body doesn’t use up water turning it in to nothing. You are meant to pee out what isn’t lost to sweat. |
