Fluid consumption
April 23, 2022 at 1:57 am
Remember having heard that one should drink so many glasses of water on a daily basis?
Well, apparently, that has changed. Or maybe it's just this particular clinic is advertising different information.
There was a poster indicating how much fluids one should consume. Enough to urinate at least three times a day. Then below that it mentioned, A roofer in the sun will consume more water than a person sitting in an air conditioned room.

There's people that urinate less than three times a day? Looking it up, the average is seven times a day, so isn't this a low bar?

When did this fad for never going anywhere without a bottle of water start??
Why not have a drink before you leave the house? (unless you intend to go hiking in the desert of course)

Three times a day... 
Some days I can manage three times an hour.
I tend to push fluid intake because in the past I had a history with frequent kidney stones.
Here's the thing...everyone is different, even to the point of having regular body temp not necessarily be 98.6. Most of my life, my normal is 99.4.
People need to learn to use things as guidelines, not absolutes.
And things change...eggs are bad, eggs are good, eggs are bad again, eggs are great, same with butter...the secret with most things is moderation.

If your urine is pale yellow, you’re well hydrated.
