Question 1

is drinking water good?

Accepted Answer

Hydration: Like my father says to much of anything isn't good for you. An average person should drink 3l of water daily to keep homeostasis or balance in the body. Water is lost through the skin, breathing, urinating, and having bowel movements not to mention losses due to increasing stress such as infection or increased metabolism. Drinking water will keep you balanced and hydrated for daily activity.

Question 2

is all drinking water safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, almost always: "drinking water" in the United States is made to be safe. Tap water has to meet safety guidelines but in rare instances, there may be spores in the water that can cause problems in people with very weak immune systems. Bottled water is filtered or distilled, so it is rare for bottled water to be unsafe. Untreated water from wells may have chemicals, minerals, or germs that are unsafe.

Question 4

what does drinking water do for your body?

Accepted Answer

Maintains health: Adequate water consumption is essential for good health. See http://tinyurl.com/nzkyvc5 for details. You can also get water in the form of coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks,but I  STRONGLY advise avoiding soft drinks (one of the worst things you can do for health) and excess juices due to the calories. Pure water should be our main source of fluids though organic herb teas can be a good choice.

Question 6

can drinking water make your vision better?

Accepted Answer

WatchOut!You're Dry!: Yes, if you're dying of thirst and dehydration, for whatever reason.Ok, maybe just significantly dehydrated.Dry eyes and all.Or maybe the minerals in your blood are all out of whack and need some water to straighten them out, but in those circumstances something else is probably seriously wrong. That clear jelly in your eye has a lot of water in it.Over a long time,if it dries out, that's bad.

It can be bad: Drinking too much water can lead to severe disturbances of electrolytes in your blood which can cause devastating medical problems.

Question 9

Question 10

while taking food drinking water is good or not?

Accepted Answer

Good: Life's too short for people to make subscientific / control-you rules about what other people eat / drink, but water at meals is a good thing overall. Obviously drinking water helps move the food along & quenches thirst. Since prepared food tends to be too salty nowadays it's not a bad idea to drink some extra water daily.
