Myths and Facts About Water

Despite being such a vital necessity, there are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the benefits and harms of water consumption. Get the facts about drinking water and learn how to separate the myths from reality.

 

What You Need to Know

Eight Glasses of Water is Essential

1. Eight Glasses of Water is Essential

Eight glasses of water a day is a common recommendation, but it is not based on any scientific evidence. While it is a good idea to drink water throughout the day, the amount of water you need may not be as much as you think. The "eight glasses of water a day" philosophy was based on a 1936 Food & Nutrition Board recommendation that said humans should consume 1 millilitre of water per calorie consumed.

Though the recommendation was later changed to a "more is better" approach, the general idea has stood the test of time. While it is true that some health benefits of drinking water exist, it is also true that there are many other foods and beverages that contain water, so drinking eight glasses is not really needed.

 

Drinking Water Helps with Weight Loss

2. Drinking Water Helps with Weight Loss

It has been said that the best way to lose weight is to drink water. There are some benefits to drinking water, but it is hard to say whether it helps with weight loss. Drinking water can help you feel fuller. It is also possible that drinking water can lead to significant weight loss, but it is unlikely. In general, however, drinking water will not, on its own, lead to significant weight loss.

 

Yellow Urine Is a Sign of Dehydration

3. Yellow Urine Is a Sign of Dehydration

Many people assume that yellow urine is a sign of dehydration. Colour is not necessarily a sign of dehydration, but urine colour does change when drinking water. The colour of your urine is dependent on what you have been eating and drinking and can even vary from day to day.

 

Drinking Cold Water Causes Stomach Ulcers

4. Drinking Cold Water Causes Stomach Ulcers

There is no evidence that drinking cold water can cause stomach ulcers. Some people believe that cold water chemically burns the lining of your stomach, but the lining of your stomach is made up of a strong mucosal lining. In fact, cool water is helpful for your stomach.

 

Exercise and eat a balanced and healthy diet

Conclusion

The only thing you need to do to stay healthy is to exercise and eat a balanced and healthy diet. Drinking water is not a magic cure-all, but it can be helpful. Water is a delicious and refreshing way to add a little more health to your daily routine.
