The statement that drinking eight glasses of water a day is good for health, it turned out to be a myth.

According to scientists, evidence that a large amount of water brings a normal healthy person benefits, there is no. It is not even known where this common misconception came from, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net American nephrologists have tested the claims that if you drink eight glasses of eight ounces of water each day a day, this will help to eliminate toxins from the body, prevent the appearance of excess weight and improve the skin color.

As Dr. Dan Negoyanu and Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of the University of Pennsylvania say, none of the experiments has confirmed that an average healthy person should drink such a quantity of water every day (a total of 3.3 pints, or 1.9 liters).

"It's really unclear even where this advice came from," the researchers report in an article published by the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

Scientists have found a number of evidence that people living in a hot and humid climate, as well as athletes need to drink more. In addition, as the study showed, abundant drinking helps to rid the body of salt and urea.

However, the benefits for the internal organs from excessive water consumption are not confirmed by anything.

Negoyanu and Goldfarb also tested the theory that if you drink a lot of water, it creates a feeling of satiety and reduces your appetite.

Supporters of this point of view argue that water helps maintain normal weight and fight obesity. But this statement was also unconvincing, doctors write.

As a result of careful clinical studies, it was not possible to confirm that drinking water helps maintain a certain weight.

It is often said that a lack of water causes a headache - in favor of this statement is also not enough information, say scientists.

There was only one small study on this issue. And although subjects who consumed more water, rarely complained of headaches, according to the results of the experiment it was impossible to talk about any statistics.

Among other things, water is considered a means to improve skin color.

The authors acknowledge that a lack of water can reduce the elasticity of the skin, but no study has confirmed that drinking large amounts of water improves skin color.

A review of the literature, cited in the work of Negoyanu and Goldfarb, shows that there is no convincing evidence of the benefits of active water consumption. On the other hand, there is no evidence that this does not benefit.

"There simply is not enough evidence in the whole," scientists explain..

On average, the human body consumes from 1.7 to 2.6 pints (1-1.5 liters) of water per day. At high temperature or physical loads, costs increase.

This is offset by drinking. In addition, a lot of water is contained in food - so you do not need to drink enough to fill the required water level.

But excess water can disrupt the balance of salts in the body and cause "water intoxication", which can be fatal.
