Water Myth Busted!

It has always been believed that drinking 8 glasses of water is needed for health. But an article from a magazine I just read seem to contradict our common belief.

Believe it or not, it was said in the article that no scientific study or basis was found for this oft-repeated claim. Some diet experts even believe that drinking this much water may even be too much as ordinary drinking water does not contain the electrolytes needed by the body's cells.

I have also learned in my nutrition class that drinking mineral water is better than drinking distilled water. Drinking too much distilled water could wash away essential minerals in the body.

Whatever the real deal about number of glasses of water a day is, what's important is to drink enough liquid to avoid getting dehydrated.
