it comes straight from the tap but these
days we're all buying fancy water sports
drinks flavored water and even something
called smart water today the doctor is
in Larry does it matter what kind of
water we drink you know Heidi this is
the biggest con ever pulled on all of us
any water that tastes good to you is the
water that you should drink all these
other waters are based on taste right
there's 2,000 different types of water
bottled water available today and what
gives the water taste is the minerals
that are put into it calcium carbonate
chloride magnesium and so the
manufacturers put different taste
quantities in it and that's what you
like if you like it that's what you
should drink can you drink too much
water well you it's hard if you're a
marathon runner and you overdose with
extra just plain water without minerals
in it you can take it too much water and
there's some people with psychological
problems who can / drink water but it's
rare very very difficult to over drink
the quantity of water so water promotes
better digestion and hydration and
function of everything but the old adage
that you need to drink 8 ounces of water
eight times a day there's no basis and
scientific fact for that at all so we've
got eight ounces of water here and this
is the rumor the wives tale was that it
would be eight 8-ounce glass and you
don't need that if you're generally
healthy and you feel well and your urine
output is reasonable and as your urine
is not concentrate it's like a pale
yellow then you're drinking an adequate
amount of water so designer wat any
designer of my choice any designer of
your choice there's to put conditions
where you need to worry about though and
that's one when you're exercising if
you're exercising you can't go on thirst
because your thirst falls behind your
hydration so if you're exercising
moderately you should have water 8 to 12
ounces every 30 minutes and if you're
exercising a lot like a marathon runner
you lose you know salt and your sweat
and sometimes you want to have something
like Gatorade that replaces the sodium
and chloride
but there are other medical conditions
that you should also be aware of with
with over hydration yes right and the
two that we worry about the most are
congestive heart failure people with
weakened tarts you know the hearts
weakened they can't pump out excess
water so fluid can back up in your lungs
those people really need to have
guidelines from their doctors and people
with weakened kidneys they can excrete
the same amount of water well we've got
the straight scoop here on water I'm
going to get out my divining rod and
head to my tap for extra flavor with
those minerals good so you should do
open the tap and save money open the tap
and save money
