You'll know it if you ever do it. You literally get sick, you have to fight the urge to throw up when you drink. I've also noticed a tendancy to be a bit sluggish when I over hydrate. A good rule of thumb on drinking water is to sip all day long. If you actually feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Sounds kind of gross, but watching the color of your urin will also tell you alot. If it smells like urin or is any darker then very pale yellow, you need more water. Urin actually doesn't have much of a smell if you keep hydrated. If you feel good, are peeing regularly and the urin isn't smelly or dark, you're good. Forcing yourself to drink even more water than you need to meet those criteria is what gets you into trouble.Quote:

But slowly sipping cool, not cold, water can help you cool down so long as you are not dehydrated. If you are dehydrated slowly sip warm water. Drinking too much can cause your body to go into shock. And shock kills.

On another topic, have you seen those Jelly Belly electrolite jelly beens? They are realy not too bad. And I hate Gatorade, so they come in handy
Yeah i have tried them. They are okay. I dont drink gatorade at all. I used to and really wasnt getting the recovery and electrolyte balance that i needed.
LIke i stated in the earlier post "Cytomax" OR "Gookanaid"(weird name eh?) are great and natural electrolyte replenishers.
You can get the GU gel and the other stuff at places like REI camping outlets or GNC nutrition.

Some people drink too much water on purpose to get high. I saw something on TV about it years ago... I think it was around like 4 gallons a day. I'm not sure how these people didn't live on the toilet.
Oh yeah, and urine is spelled with an "e" at the end :)
But your urine won't be clear if you take a multivitamin with lots of vitamin B in it. It will be bright yellow/green :)
True. But it still won't ne dark...Quote:

How do you guys feel about taking water during hard training sessions?
Back in the day It was a point of pride for me to not drink any water until I was done training, or not more than once an hour if we doing real hard 2 or 3 hour sessions. I would never let myself dehydrate to the point where I didn't sweat, of course, but I wouldn't take it until I needed it.
Nowadays I like to drink small amounts of water more frequently. I worry that if you don't take water, you burn out faster than you could have otherwise. I feel like I may be able to train better/longer if I take a little water every 15 minutes or so during intense workouts.
Do you feel that depriving yourself of water, (within reason) helps your endurance? Or will it just lead to sloppier form and burning out quicker? Does taking it more often hurt your endurance abilities?
I've always just gotten drinks of water when the opportunity presented itself.
Sometimes that would be more rare than others.
I don't really know much about the physiology behind it. Perhaps some of the more educated could tell us.
Does working out at a water deprived state make your body more efficient at using water? I don't mean dangerously low, obviously.
Would said person perform better than someone who maintains a high water consumption and then becomes dehydrated?
I only drink "hot water" during and after workout. If you let your body temperature to
- increase 1 degree, your immune system will increase 6 times.
- drop 1 degree, your immune system will decrease 30%.
If you keep your body temperature high, cancer cells will never grow inside your body. This is why we have not heard about "heart cancer" because the temperature is too high there.
https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/heart-cancer/AN01288
imo, it depends upon your average hydration.
if you normally stay well hydrated then you could do an hour workout w/o hydrating.
if you aren't normally well hydrated (check your ****, average 'well hydrated' should typically yield a very light yellow color, anything darker and you are not hydrated well) then I would take in 4 oz. every 15 minutes.
if you plan to do any workout longer than 90-120 minutes then you should start taking water 15-20 minutes in to the workout and continue to take water every 15 minutes throughout the workout. 4oz or so at a time. [edit] NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AVERAGE HYDRATION LEVEL IS [/edit]
imo, most people are underhydrated at any given point in time.
i do agree with the 'no cold water' but I don't drink 'hot' water. room temp.
fwiw, I live and work in Hawaii now. On a day that I know I'm working outside all day doing moderate to strenuous activity I drink a pint before eating breakfast, a pint before leaving the cottage and a pint every hour. On those days, I usually weigh 4-6 pounds less at the end of the day than at the beginning even after taking in 3-4 quarts. At the end of the day, I drink a pint of water before my shower and a pint before dinner. I will still usually weigh .5 to 1.0 less the next morning.
Drinking more water is rarely contraindicated.
I'm probably a bit under hydrated most of the time. Maybe that's why I feel like I'll have diminishing returns if I don't take a little water while training.
When I work outside on a hot summer day I can lose 5 pounds over the day...but when I train hard for about 3 hours I probably won't lose more than a pound if I'm drinking while training...(of course I drink a lot after I finish, that may be why)...don't know if that's good or bad...
I prefer Powerade. But only drink it during your workouts, not during the day, because it's just sugar water that costs more than regular water.
Years ago, when I had the time and worked days, my workouts were 5-1/2 hrs. 3-4 days per week. I had to take nourishment and fluids during these long workouts our they would have been impossible to complete. Especially since I performed my workouts after an 8 hour work day.
After much experimentation with different juices and sports drinks I found that the best combination was 1/2 water and 1/2 Hawaiian Punch. I know it sounds weird, and being about half a health nut, I wasn't too pleased with having to drink red dye #12 during my workouts. But it worked better than orange juice, grape juice, apple juice, Gatorade, etc.

Five and 1/2 hour workouts, what?!
LOL!! I have posted this a few times in the past:
1 hour kicks
1 hour strikes
1 hour weapons
1 hour weights
1 hour stretching
30 min run!
It was only 3-4 days per week though. It wasn't like I did it every day. I also went to Aikido for 2 1/2 hours twice a week too, though.
No it doesnt help your endurance or performance, even being slightly dehydration can adversely effect your ability to think and perform
every major athletic team employs water carriers for a reason, most sports have water breaks again for a reason, there is also a reason that these same teams weigh their players before and after training and games and dont let them go until they are fully hydrated
milk + gin
This is not correct sorry. Cancer is linked to cell division, it is essentially uncontrolled cellular proliferation. Cancer doesn't occur in cardiac tissue with any regularity because cardiac cells are incredibly long lasting by comparison to other tissues. Meaning they don't divide very often. It has nothing to do with temperature.
As to the topic. There's absolutely no logical reason not to hydrate while exercising. Anything you've heard telling you not to do so, is folk nonsense. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with drinking cool water. It won't shock your organs. It won't cause steam to scorch your insides. It won't cause cancer. Cool water is probably more comfortable than iced cold water. And tastes more appealing than warm water. The only difference is rate at which your body can absorb that water. Cool water is the optimum for bodily absorption.
I have yet to see this on sale in the Si Valley and I frequent the sort of shops you'd think would sell this. Plus Rainbow Grocery is in SF. :mad:

Food-safety expert warns latest bizarre Silicon Valley $60 'raw water' trend could quickly turn deadly

Live Water is a startup selling untreated water. Live Water
Silicon Valley is developing an obsession with untreated, unfiltered water, according to The New York Times.
But a food-poisoning expert says that the trend is dangerous and could be deadly.
"Raw" water can spread bacteria and diseases including cholera, E. coli, Hepatitis A, and Giardia.
When food-safety expert Bill Marler saw The New York Times' trend piece on Silicon Valley's recent obsession with raw water, he thought he was reading a headline from The Onion.
According to The Times, demand for unfiltered water is skyrocketing as tech-industry insiders develop a taste for water that hasn't been treated, to prevent the spread of bacteria or other contaminants.
In San Francisco, "unfiltered, untreated, unsterilized spring water" is selling for as much as $60.99 for a 2.5 gallon jug. Startups dedicated to untreated water are popping up. People — including startup Juicero's cofounder Doug Evans — are gathering gallons of untreated water from natural springs to bring to Burning Man.
http://static5.businessinsider.com/i...42403%20pm.png
Tourmaline Spring sells an untreated water as "sacred, living water." Tourmaline Spring
While Evans and other fans say raw water is perfect for those who are "extreme about health," Marler — a food-safety advocate and a lawyer — says the opposite is true.
"Almost everything conceivable that can make you sick can be found in water," Marler told Business Insider.
Unfiltered, untreated water, even from the cleanest streams, can contain animal feces, spreading Giardia, which has symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea and results in roughly 4,600 hospitalizations a year. Hepatitis A, which resulted in 20 deaths in a California outbreak in 2017, can be spread through water if it isn't treated. E. coli, and cholera can also be transmitted via untreated water.
Because filtered, treated water has become the norm, Marler says, most people don't realize how dangerous s0-called raw water can be.
"The diseases that killed our great-grandparents were completely forgotten about," he said.
Most Americans don't personally know anyone who died of Hepatitis A or cholera, thanks to advances in technology and more stringent safety standards. As a result, they had a hard time realizing the risks involved in consuming untreated water.
"It's fine till some 10-year-old girl dies a horrible death from cholera in Montecito, California," Marler said.
On January 2, Business Insider's Melia Robinson visited a San Francisco supermarket where a small company called Live Water sells its untreated water. Rainbow Grocery was sold out of the Fountain of Truth Spring Water from Live Water, but a sign indicated a "slight price increase."

The cost of a 2.5 gallon jug increased from $36.99 to $60.99 since The Times' article published. While the price includes the glass container, a refill costs only $14.99, according to The Times.

According to Marler, the raw-water trend is similar to people's obsession with raw milk or opposition to vaccines. While they lack scientific evidence, they're convinced that they are correct, in part because they have failed to see the repercussions of life without scientific advances.
"You can't stop consenting adults from being stupid," Marler said. "But we should at least try."

'Raw Water' Is a New Health Trend. But Is It Safe?
By JAMIE DUCHARME January 3, 2018
TIME Health
For more, visit TIME Health.
A New York Times story in December introduced a new health buzzword to the masses: raw water, or water that hasn’t been treated, filtered or processed in any way.
While the beverage isn’t widespread yet, a number of untreated water startups have cropped up in states ranging from California to Maine, according to the Times. They’re attracting those with misgivings about tap water treatment processes and additives, as well as people who want to preserve the natural substances found in virgin water.
But is the stuff even safe?
The water system in the U.S. isn’t perfect — there are aging pipes and infrastructure issues, for example, and lead contamination like that in Flint, Mich. — but it has greatly improved public health over the past century. After the U.S. introduced filtration, chlorination and sanitation practices for public drinking water, the burden of water-borne illnesses such as cholera and typhoid fever plummeted almost to zero, says Kellogg Schwab, a professor of water and public health at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health. “It was truly instrumental in improving public health in the United States,” Schwab says. “Having a central treatment process of our drinking water and then distributing it out to the individual homes and businesses is a tremendous asset that we, as a country, take for granted.”
Drinking untreated water, and the pathogens that can lurk within it, could expose Americans to disease outbreaks once again, says Vince Hill, chief of the CDC’s Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch. “When water isn’t treated, it can contain chemicals and germs that can make us sick or cause disease outbreaks,” he says. “Anything you can think of can be in untreated water, really,” ranging from agricultural runoff and naturally occurring chemicals to bacteria and viruses.
And while community tap water is treated to remove 91 different contaminants, there’s little data showing what’s in raw water. “That’s the part that is concerning, because there are many sources of water contamination that can affect spring water,” Hill says.
As for concerns about fluoride — a chemical added to community water supplies to help prevent tooth decay — Vincent Casey, a senior water sanitation and hygiene manager at clean water nonprofit WaterAid, says it’s not harmful at the levels found in drinking water, even though it is hazardous at high concentrations. (Due to its potential health consequences, some vocal opponents have called for an end to water fluoridation.)
“In low quantities, it is scientifically proven that it is beneficial to dental health,” Casey says. “If a water company or a utility is carrying out its treatment to the right standards, there shouldn’t be instances where these concentrations are going to hazardous levels at all.”
If you’re concerned about your tap water, Hill says, it’s better to invest in a home filtration or testing system than to turn to untreated water.
Casey agrees. “If you’ve got the luxury of a treated, piped water supply to your home available, it’s not really a good idea to drink untreated water,” he says. “There are obviously many people in the world who don’t have that luxury.”

You'd think that if they're selling the water as (basically) a foodstuff the FDA or the state would require them to test it for contaminants. Then Vince#1 would get the data he says is missing, from case to case.
I can't imagine how the new agers dare sell stuff that can be contaminated considering the risk of litigation if someone gets sick from it.

FDA slams “Real Water” linked to liver failure; water plant manager MIA
A lawyer for the water company said it can't find its plant manager or lead technician.

Enlarge / Images of Real Water's "alkalized" products, which the FDA now says you should not drink or use.
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday admonished Nevada-based company Real Water for being uncooperative in a multi-state health investigation linked to its “alkalized” water products. The company is accused of poisoning its customers, causing acute liver failure and other serious health problems in adults, children, and pets.
On March 16, the FDA and the Southern Nevada Health District announced that they were investigating cases of acute non-viral hepatitis (resulting in acute liver failure) in five infants and children, all of whom consumed the company’s alkaline water. The water was the only common link between the five children and infants. Since then, customers have filed several lawsuits making similar claims, including three Californian women who filed a federal lawsuit in Nevada March 22 seeking class-action status.
In an investigation update Wednesday, the FDA said its work has been hamstrung by Real Water’s failure to hand over critical records for two of its product facilities. Real Water has also failed to notify its distributors of the March 24 recall of all its water products, which are still being offered for sale by online retailers, the FDA noted. In addition, the FDA reported that the company is still promoting its products on social media, despite the recall and serious health claims.
Missing records, people
“Therefore, the FDA is reiterating that it is crucial that consumers, restaurants, distributors, and retailers not drink, cook with, sell, or serve ‘Real Water’ alkaline water,” the agency said in the update Wednesday. “Given a lack of cooperation by the firm, FDA investigators have been unable to complete investigations,” the update went on. The agency has twice issued the company a Demand for Records under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
But on Monday, a lawyer for Real Water may have provided an explanation for the company’s lack of cooperation. Real Water attorney Charles LoBello told District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez in a hearing that he could not find the company’s plant manager or lead technician, according to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“There has been difficulty getting ahold of them,” LoBello said, asking the judge for at least two weeks to track them down.
Separately, another lawyer for the company, Laura Ungaro, contradicted the FDA’s recent update, telling the Review-Journal that the company is in fact cooperating with the investigation.
“I can’t imagine how they could say we’re not cooperating,” Ungaro of Craig Mueller & Associates told the outlet. “We’ve done everything but stand on our heads for them. Anything and everything they want, we’ve made available to them.”
Real Water President Brent Jones—who is also a former Nevada state Republican lawmaker—released a nearly two-minute video on the brand’s website last week, in which he offered the “deepest sympathy and concern over the events that led to the inquiry.” However, the website now displays a message saying that it is “down for maintenance” and only offers links to a recall press release, two water quality test reports, and Jones’ video on YouTube.
Real Water has not responded to multiple comment requests from Ars.

Real Water faces lawsuit after 5-year-old girl gets seriously ill: "It was excruciating"
Many people buy bottled water because they believe it's healthier but federal investigators are now looking into questions about one particular brand of bottled water sold in several states.
In a YouTube video, Real Water founder Brent Jones said the benefits of his company's bottled alkaline water include "assisting with better cellular hydration and creating an antioxidant effect on the body."
The water was sold nationwide and the company offered home delivery of five-gallon bottles in Las Vegas to people like Ryan and Arika Carrier. The family says they thought they were getting the best water that they could drink and liked the taste of it. Their 2-year-old son Finn and 5-year-old daughter Hera drank it too, but last year, Hera started getting sick.
"Constant complaining, 'Mommy, my tummy hurts. I don't feel good,'" Arika told CBS News national consumer investigative correspondent Anna Werner.
Then in November, Hera got violently ill and couldn't hold food down. She soon became incoherent and was rushed to a local hospital.
"You don't know what's going on with your daughter. You're putting her in the back of the car, limp in the car seat. It was excruciating, excruciating," Ryan said.
When she arrived at the hospital, Doctors told Arika the 5-year-old's liver was failing. They said that they couldn't treat her there, and Hera would need to be life-flighted to Salt Lake City for a possible liver transplant. Doctors in Salt Lake City told the Carriers their daughter had ingested something highly toxic.
"It's absolutely like going into shock, you know, thinking that your 5-year-old might need a transplant," Arika tearfully recalled.
"Not many things make you fall on your knees in life, right? We fell to our knees. Right? We all prayed," Ryan added.
Their prayers were answered, and Hera avoided a transplant.
But it wasn't just their child. Over just 11 days, health authorities said five children between the ages of seven months and five years became ill – all at risk of needing liver transplants. Health officials say the "only common link between all the identified cases" was "the consumption of Real Water brand alkaline water."
In March, the company announced a nationwide voluntary recall of its Real Water brand alkaline water.
Werner went to Real Water's company office to ask whether the company knew what happened to those children, but their office was empty with just a few trucks sitting outside. The company later declined CBS News' request for an interview. But online, Jones said, "We'd like to express our deepest sympathy and concern over the events that led to the inquiry."
In a video posted to his website in March, Jones apologized to his customers and announced a nationwide recall of all Real Water that would last until the safety of the products is "clearly established."
But a videotaped deposition of a former Real Water employee, obtained by CBS News, raises serious questions about how the company made the water last fall.
Casey Aiken, who was hired by Real Water after working for strip clubs, said he had no experience in chemistry and only a couple of hours of what he called "hands-on training." But he was the one in charge of mixing a liquid concentrate into the water at the company's offices outside Las Vegas.
Aiken said in September or October, he was mixing a new batch in the tanks and got a low reading on a meter he was using to measure the water's alkalinity level. So he called his manager, Brent Jones' son Blaine, to ask what to do and was told to add more concentrate.
"And he didn't tell you how much?" Aiken was asked during the deposition. "No, he didn't tell me how much," he replied.
Aiken said he decided to add two and a half more gallons of the concentrate to the water. Aiken said during the deposition that he wouldn't think that adding more concentrate than usually used would potentially cause a problem with the water.
"If I'm putting into somebody that's ingesting it, I would think that it's safe no matter what," he laughed. "That's my thought."
The FDA is still investigating, but consumer advocates say the situation shows the need for stronger regulations for bottled water.
"It really is sort of the Wild West out there with a lot of smaller bottlers facing very infrequent, if any, inspections and testing by the government," Erik Olson, senior director, Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. said.
That's why the Carriers say they're speaking out and say they want people to be aware. "This can't happen to any more people. It's happened to enough. It's happened to enough," Ryan said.
The Carriers have filed a lawsuit against Real Water.
"We aren't going to leave any stone unturned", said the Carriers' attorney, Colby Williams, of Campbell and Williams in Las Vegas. "Clearly there was a problem with the way either this water was manufactured, the way that it was tested or the way that it was dispensed."
In a court filing, the company denied the allegations.
Researchers show that alkaline water provides other extra great benefits that regular tap or bottled water lack.
And what do researchers show about NASA-certified water? :p

Scammers in China Sold Bottles of ‘NASA-Certified’ Water for $160 Each
The pyramid scheme saw people touting a miracle liquid that supposedly helps with weight loss, diabetes, and even cancer.

Among the most expensive liquids in the world, many have good reason to boast hefty price tags. But in a recent case in China, bottles of ridiculously priced “NASA-certified” water turned out to be just regular water, and part of a massive multi-level marketing scheme.
Chinese authorities recently indicted a company named Zhongzichuanglian for operating the pyramid scheme, state-run legal news outlet Procuratorial Daily reported in May.
The company, which operated from 2016 to 2018 and had over 49,000 members, made nearly 900 million Chinese yuan ($141 million) in revenue, most notably through a water product known as “SSG Life Mineral Liquid” that was supposedly certified by the United States’ aeronautics and space agency. Sold in boxes of 15, each 35 milliliter bottle of water cost 1,000 yuan ($160) and claimed to cure various ailments and help people retain youthful vigor. A police investigation later found that it was merely regular groundwater, state-run publication National Business Daily reported.
The case came to light in 2019, when a series of police reports were lodged against the company, after victims of the pyramid scheme realized that they had been scammed. According to Chinese news outlet Legal Daily, members were told that they could enjoy a rebate of 100,000 yuan ($15,700) after spending 150,000 yuan ($23,600) worth of products.
But the cashback reportedly never came, and the water proved useless against its incredible health promises—backed by Nobel Prize winners, or so the company claimed—that included weight loss, a diabetes cure, and cancer treatment.
Despite the supposed all-healing properties of the SSG Life Mineral Liquid, the company claimed that consuming the water by itself can only achieve 70 percent of its effectiveness. To reap its full benefits, customers were encouraged to undergo floating therapy, a service offered by a subsidiary company that runs float centers and sells other wellness products like face masks and pain relief patches. One floating therapy session would cost members 298 yuan ($47).
Members were classified into levels differentiated by the amount of their profits. To boost membership, the company implemented a variety of rewards policies, incentivizing existing members to rake in new ones. The company reportedly also promoted itself by claiming that it used blockchain technology.
According to Procuratorial Daily, 17 people have been indicted in relation to the pyramid scheme. The leaders of the scheme, identified only by their last names Yan and Wang, have been sentenced to 10 years in prison with a 1 million yuan ($157,000) fine, and eight years and six months in prison with a fine of 900,000 yuan ($141,000), respectively.

Judge permanently blocks marketing of bottled-water brand
A U.S. judge has permanently blocked a Las Vegas-based bottled-water brand Real Water from being marketed while an investigation continues into at least one death and multiple cases of liver illness among people who reported drinking it
ByThe Associated Press

LAS VEGAS -- A U.S. judge has permanently blocked a Las Vegas-based bottled-water brand Real Water from being marketed while an investigation continues into at least one death and multiple cases of liver illness among people who reported drinking it.
A court order signed Monday by U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey formalizes a settlement in which AffinityLivestyles.com Inc., Real Water Inc. and company officers agreed to stop processing and distributing the product drawn from municipal tap water, and destroy any in their possession.
Company president Brent Jones, a former Nevada state Republican lawmaker, and attorneys for him and the company didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Real Water was marketed primarily in Nevada, Arizona, Utah and California.
The Justice Department said Tuesday that defendants including Jones assured the court they no longer prepare or distribute the water that was sold as premium alkalized drinking water in distinctive boxy blue bottles touting “E2 Electron Energized Technology.” Labels said it was “infused with negative ions” and offers healthy detoxifying properties.
That agreement also required the company to turn over to the Food and Drug Administration records about processing, bottling and distribution; and to submit to unannounced inspections of company facilities in Las Vegas, suburban Henderson and Mesa, Arizona.
