Whats the deal with drinking water all day long?

[new2AMD]

I recall hearing its a good thing to drink a certain amount of water a day. I have been drinking between 60-100oz a day at work. It has certainly helped me urinate more frequently and has made it clear. I didnt need help going but I go a lot more now. What other benefits am I supposed to be gaining?

It burns calories!

If I were a hippy I'd say you were "flushing your system of the evil toxins."

Also makes you feel full so you eat less.

I suppose it is better for me, as getting water and running to the urinals is about all the excerise I get at work.

We're not talking about a lot. If you drink ice water your body is forced to use energy to heat the water to a temperature more suitable for use by the body. Obviously there's more to it but that's the simplistic explanation.

Yes, this is a benefit. Proper hydration ensures that your mucous membranes are moist, making them more effective at doing their job.

Yeah we wish!!!

your skin will look better from the hydration too

Also, if you happen to take normal creatine, you need to make sure to drink a lot of water.

You stay hydrated and healthy. (and this is a damned good reason in and of itself)

 

[dighn]

cuz your body uses water for everything

I drink beer all day long, does that work the same way? It's mostly water anyways, AFAIK.
