Efficacy Eight Glasses of Water Doubtful

A study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology dubious benefits of drinking eight glasses of water per day. According to them, drink when we feel thirsty it is adequate.

The conclusion was obtained from the research results and Negoianu and Stanley Goldfarb investigating the theory that drinking more water helps the kidneys clear toxins in the body.

"The question is whether drinking more water will enhance the important function of the kidneys? And the answer is no," said Goldfarb. In fact, according to him, drinking more water tends to reduce the kidney's ability as a filter.

Water is also touted beneficial for those who want to lose weight, but the fact is there are no clinical studies that say that. "Some studies concluded that calorie intake is reduced when a person is given water to drink before eating. But some other studies say it's not true," said Goldfarb.
