THe “water is good for you” recommendation may be a myth.
“Dr Dan Negoianu and Dr Stanley Goldfarb of the Renal, Electrolyte, and Hypertension Division at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, reviewed every published clinical study into the subject.
They found evidence that people in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water, as do athletes. And people with some diseases benefit from additional fluid.
‘But no such data exist for average, healthy individuals,’ a spokesman for the scientists said.
No study indicated that people needed to drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day.”
Nevertheless, water does help you to tame your appetite when you’re losing weight. If you drink a glass of water when you’re hungry, the sensation of hunger may go away, saving you some calories.
