I Drank 4 Liters of Water Daily for 365 Days
Here are 3 things it gave me.
Most of the human body is water — an average of 60%. So, drinking enough water seems like a good plan. At least to keep you alive…
But what is “enough water”?
According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, we have different daily norms for men and women:
Won’t you blow up from that amount of water?
Well… you shouldn’t.
Every day you lose water through your breath, sweat, and visits to the bathroom. To function properly you must replenish the water supply. An obvious way is to drink or eat something containing water.
The above numbers and argumentation I found online sounded reasonable to me. So, 365 days ago, I decided to challenge myself with daily water drinking. Perhaps after-New-Year hangover played some role too…
The initial deal was the next. Drink at least 12 cups of water or any other liquids per day.
20% of the water we receive with food, so I calculated that it compensates leftover daily norm of 4 cups.
