Whole oranges are better, because they have less sugar and more fiber. The only thing a person should really ever drink is water.
OR FRUIT JUICE - for goodness sake!!! how many times.
milk mixed with bananas makes a nice milkshake.. If milk is healthy enough for you and if bananas aren't too sweet (I think bananas can be high on sugar, or high on the sugar in fruits - fructose I think).
But milk is a bit thick.
Maybe one shoud drink water more than other drinks.
BTW , too much water is bad.. (you won't hear that in many places, but i'm sure in the future they'll tell you more)
These days, if you follow advice they give, you'd end up drinking tons of it.
8 glasses, how big are the glasses.. 8 glasses is alot. I drink if i am thirsty. Maybe more. But don't make a rule like 8 glasses and sit there drinkin them when you don't even feel like it.
I did at one time think it was OK to drink loads of water.. It wasn't. I got very dizzy.
There is even such a thing as water intoxication if you drink it -really- excessively, and people have died from it.
I have had the effects of drinking too much water. It's not harmless.
Don't drink it like more water = better.
The body contains salty water. If you drink lots and lots and lots of water, just walking around with a bottle of water and drinking it for the hell of it. It's not good.. You dilute the salt water in your cells.
Infact..when I was drinking TONS of water, I found that adding a little bit of sea salt stopped me getting dizzy from it. I heard that recommendation on radio from (the late) Dr Batman Gelly!! Dr. F. Batmaghelidj (of india).
Nowadays I don't drink TONS of water anymore. So I don't get dizzy and don't add salt to the water.
I never really knew how much salt to add anyway.. But i'm aware of the dnagers of too much salt, so prefer just to not overdrink the water.
Be seriously careful about drinking too much water.
If you get dizzy, the water is a suspect.
If you're a bit thirsty, DRINK
But if you're not even a bit thirsty, then don't.
A good thing to check is your urine.. Easily done
When you go
If it is CLEAR then you have alot of water.. Prob don't need more.
If it's YELLOW then maybe you could do with more water.
If it's orange, I think that means you're in trouble and really really need water.
You can develop a good sense of your water level anyhow, without watching your urine.
Of course, watching your urine is easier for men than for women.
I do have a toilet where the water in the bowl always looks yellow, i'm not sure about what it loosk like when it comes out.. If there's a ifference. If so,then you can only go by what it looks like when it comes out. i'll check eventually, and amend this post!!!!!!!!
And By the way. A multivitamin pill (I have solgar in mind, it's kosher) that one causes orange coloured urine. I that instance it doesn't mean you're dehydrated. I personally don't have multivitamins.. or vitamin pills.
Though if I have a cold, I have a pill that combines Vitamin C and Zinc.
