A Gallon of Water Every Day

Everyone has heard that doctors recommended you should be drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, but I have been doing this for many years and have felt dehydrated at times and gotten headaches throughout the day as well.

I have made a decision to drink more water of course, but how much more should I drink? I have heard of body builders drinking up to a gallon to a gallon and a half a day. I have also heard of a woman drinking a gallon of water in a water drinking contest and dyeing because she drowned!

I have decided to drink a gallon of water a day though. I am choosing to drink this much because I want to do an experiment: Can you drink too much water? And what are the health benefits of drinking above the recommended amount of water? I have also talked to a doctor friend of mine that has said that drinking too much water is never a bad thing, but he wouldn’t recommend it and I would like to put his statement to the test.

I will be posting updated every once in a while for a week, starting tomorrow, to let you know how my new water diet is going and at the end of the week I will post a concluding post of what I thought the water diet was like and what are negative and positive benefits.

For those of you who have a hard time drinking all of your water throughout the day, here are some ways I intend on getting my gallon of water every day:

• Always keep a water bottle with you
• Fill up all of your water bottles that you want to drink in the morning (less effort throughout the day)
• Keep backup water bottles in your car, locker, room, fridge, backpack…
• Set a goal to drink a certain amount of water in the morning, afternoon, and night.

So what do you think of my new water diet? Let me know below in the comments section. I look forward to posting an update soon and will talk to you all shortly.
