Drink Eight Glasses of Water a Day Just a Myth

Drinking eight glasses of water a day is one of the most common health tips in mind, as mentioned will make you look younger, feel more refreshed and healthy life.
However, in a new finding turns out it was not true, is only a myth. Lah why? One health researchers so fed up with the growing myth that has been often cited as fact. He also appealed to everyone to stop repeating the facts that are not true.

In an article in The New York Times, a professor at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Aaron E. Carroll said that drinking eight glasses of water a day that is a myth.

"If there is a medical myth that will not die, it is this: you have to drink eight glasses of water a day, this is not true. There is no science behind it," he quoted from the Independent, Wednesday (2/9).

He said that a correct advice is that people need a balance with eight glasses of water a day. Scientists say that the number of actual flows are included in food and other vegetables, and never suggested that people drink eight glasses of water on food and drink them daily.

"Many people believe the myth sources since 1945 Nutrition Council recommended that people need about 2.5 liters of water a day. They ignore that most are already contained in the food," he said.

Mr Carroll added, does not need humans to drink up to eight glasses of water, but there is little evidence that drinking water provide additional health benefits. "Contrary to many stories you hear, there is no scientific evidence that is right about that, for people who are not healthy, drinking water only as additional health benefits," he explained.
