Water, Water Everywhere And Not A Drop To Drink

Don't like water? Still think you have to guzzle eight 8 ounce glasses of the stuff every day to get your RDA? Think again.

Since I've been treating my body better (read: turned into a health nut), I've read all kinds of folly about the need for water. "If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated," "you have to drink tons of water to flush out fat when dieting," "you can't count the fluid in diet soda, coffee, tea, or juice towards your recommended daily intake," etc., etc..

Looks like (what a relief) you can... Um, for those of you who actually, I dunno', care about this. You can count the fluid in every liquid that enters your body, including what's contained in your food (i.e. fruits that are especially juicy, lettuce, etc.).

And when should you drink water? When you're actually THIRSTY.

There's a novel concept.
