How much water?

[1ZlowZ]

Should I be drinking? I'm 15 years old. I can honestly say, I drink say 1 Liter of water a week. I know no good. I've been doing that for the past 2-3 years. I sweat a lot. I'm not fat. I'm about 5'8''-5'10'' Weigh 140-160 pounds. I saw a water thread on OT a while ago which I cannot find anymore. So its not really the question of how much water should I be drinking but, whats wrong with me? Try and answer both. Thanks!

Oh, recently found out my mom and dad are diabetic, could that have anything to do with it? :wtc:

[Pank]

8-10 glasses/pints a day

haha no shit, of all the places to ask you come to Zilvia. I would guess that WebMD or some similar site will know better than most of us.

I've searched Google but, no dice. Its mostly girls caring for their skin. Help me with a link? Thanks much appreciated.

Food has water in it.

If you eat alot of oranges and tomatoes and soup and shit, you won't get thirsty as much.

anyway, i think most people live in a constant state of minor dehydration anyway.

Googled it and found this.

Dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

Drink water till you piss clear.

Yellow pee means you're dehydrated.
also when you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated.

[whiterps13]

Back when I was playing highschool football they had us drink atleast two gallons a day.

clear=good, yellow=bad. Thats the easiest way to tell how much you -should- be drinking.

[1ZlowZ]

Thanks 240love, I'd +rep you but seeing as I have no rep I can't.

i posted that thread

and everyone sweats a lot

where exactly do you sweat? you may have hyperhidrosis if its in your hands and feet

also drinking more water will probably reduce your sweating and your overall health due to the fact that staying hydrated keeps your body cool instead of having to cool off by sweating

maybe you just don't have a good enough deoderant, make sure its anti-perspirant and apply as much as you need

if your feet sweat alot there is anti-perspirant sprays, try wearing thicker socks or using baby powder

and no offense but you're overweight

i'm 6' tall and 135 pounds, you should be around 135 pounds especially if you're only 15

[Helghast]

6' and 135?
what are you, a girl?

baaaaah, I'm 5'11" and 200lbs.
I'm a fatty.

it gives you Alzheimer's

[1ZlowZ]

I'm not not fat honestly. I do exercise out a lot. I sweat in my palms most of the time but my forehead stomach and chest the most. I do eat lots of fruits such as apples, oranges, mango's and, watermelon. I do eat soup about everyday. Salad everyday, rarely any fatty foods though.

Thanks s0apgun for the thread. Thanks!

[lil240sx95]

I think you should go to the gym!

[Andrew Bohan]

i think you should jump in the ocean

oh wait that's someone else



yeah just do what they said

keep your piss clear

[kingkilburn]

it gives you Alzheimer's
+1 on that. Aluminum is great on my car but it's staying the hell out of my body.

[SW20Racer]

these guys have no clue!

you need the medical advice of someone who can color inside the lines so here's what im going to offer:

drink nothing but milk. seriously, like a gallon a day. and the only solids you should be eating are calcium pills .while on this all milk diet you may feel silly at first but dont give up! sit back, relax and await the gravel you'll be pissing for days.

then take your peepee gravels and glue them together into a little statue and tell kidrobot to go fuck themselves cuz you just made your own gotdamned munny figurine...

and if you want aluminum free deoderant i suggest you stock up on some vinegar. it wont keep you from sweating (blocking up sweat glands isnt healthy anyways...) but it will neutralize odor

[kingkilburn]

Deodorant is fine, it's the antiperspirant that wrecks your brain. I don't use aluminum pots and pans either.

[Andrew Bohan]

i snort aluminum powder after using the grinder

yummm

Now that's a real fuckin man :hsdance:

[WagDatto]

Haha, if you're working out, especially going through puberty, drink about a gallon of water a day. It's hard to say "you're under/overweight" because everybody's different. I was in nearly perfect condition back when I was playing football at 16 or 17 years old. 6'3" and 220lb. Just because the Air Force said I was overweight, doesn't mean I really was.

Drink a gallon a day, and make sure you're staying active... Don't be like the rest of our generation and make the US stay an obese nation!

[lil240sx95]

oh you're 15. uhh well its called puberty. just wait man do what everyone here is saying. workout, eat right, drink lots of fluids, and stay active! best bet.

[Matej]

Diabetic people do sweat a lot, you might want to get checked out by a doctor.

I don't remember the last time I drank water. Seriously, I probably drink a glass of water once every few months when I want to save money at a resaurant. Mostly I drink soda, tea, milk, and juice.

I'm going to die soon.

[lflkajfj12123]

yummm

hell yeah

i'll be using aluminum all day if it keeps the funk away

sweating is the fucking worst so uncomfortable

[Phlip]

I don't use an antiperspirant, I use a regular deodorant, but it had nothing to do with aluminum, it was because they make me itch, and I am drinking damn near a gallon of water day, I think I am going to die from that sometime soon.

[lflkajfj12123]

i don't know how people just wear deodorant

maybe i just sweat more than others? hrmm

[Phlip]

I don't do a lot to sweat during my days, and should I happen to go out and do something where I would, I have no qualms about taking a shower when I finish.

[lflkajfj12123]

see i'll sweat without doing anything if i don't have anti-perspirant on

i suck

[azndoc]

It's when you don't sweat or stop sweating is when your fucked.

Sweating cools your body down. Once you stop it's one of the main signs of heat stroke. You don't want that.

[Phlip]

Oh don't get it wrong, once I am in motion, I WILL sweat, just never so horribly to need an antiperspirant, and I drink plenty of water

[VROOOM]

Drink water!! I used to just drink soda's and energy drinks and i got a few kidney stones. the only thing good about it was getting all the vicodin for free. but i still hurt like hell

[jackjack]

^yeah..... thats what i'm scared of. i try to stick with water and juice's.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Fuck water...Gatorade FTW...iono, im fucking hooked on gatorade. I go thru 1 of the big ones everyday. Some people have a coffee addiction, I have a gatorade addiction...

[theicecreamdan]

Drink more water than you think you need. You can pee out the excess, being dehydrated sucks.

[flip3d]

So why is clear good? Hell, I dont remember the last time I drank water. I know that I drink things with water in the ingredients :P

[kingkilburn]

Clear is good because that is a sign that you don't have toxins and waste floating around in your blood stream.

Don't go to crazy on the water though. You can fix dehydration but if you over hydrate there's not a damn thing they can do for you.

[millworkman]

One ounce per two pounds of body weight is the suggested. I am 6' 180 and drink more than 100 ounces a day, usually only pee twice per day also.

[lflkajfj12123]

So why is clear good? Hell, I dont remember the last time I drank water. I know that I drink things with water in the ingredients :P

ugh yeah read my article

drinking anything that isnt water is not hydrating, its actaully dehyrdrating you

:loco:

[fliprayzin240sx]

You want it clear, the darker your pee is, the harder your kidneys are working to purge your body of stuff. You wont notice anything now till you get older and you have to pass that kidney stone...

[TravisSW]

Drink too much water though, you will die.

Something of the likes it cleans out your body, but it takes out the salt that is used to help fuel your brain.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Again...more reasons why i love gatorade...:bigok:
