Question 1

i'm 16 yr old female. i don't drink water at all but i drink about 90 ounces of hot tea per day with no sugar or milk or honey... etc. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Too much caffeine.: Drinking a lot of caffeine all day long can make you jittery and it can keep you up.  You can also get headaches if you go too long without the caffeine.  Which means you can get addicted.  It is healthier to vary your diet, and it is very healthy to get used to the taste of plain water.  After you drink it for awhile you will get used to it.  Skim milk is also healthy to drink.

Question 2

i am drinking warm or hot water everymorng what the benefit of it and when am preghnt is it ok?

Accepted Answer

No benefit. No harm.: One should be sure to stay well hydrated during pregnancy.  The temp of the water is of no consequence.

Question 3

i feel like i have a cold and am 8 weeks preganant. can i drink hot water with fresh lemon and ginger? my nose is also blocked - what can i take?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: An adult can chew 1/4th ounce of raw ginger to decrease nausea but should not exceed 4 grams/day. Place thin slivers of fresh organic ginger in tea pot with boiling water – steep for 5 minutes &amp; then slowly sip.  Adding 1 TS of buckwheat honey &amp; fresh lemon will make it more effective. Congestion – saline nose drops or neti pot.  Be well.

Question 4

my blood sugar test results was169 after food (2hrs) & i pee when ever i drink too much of water.. is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Incomplete info: To be tested for diabetes, which seems to be your concern, you need to be tested for fasting blood sugar. Please discuss the testing with your doctor as s/he may want to do a1c testing also.

Question 5

is it true that drinking bottled water help lower your blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: In order for your metabolism to properly work the minerals in your body must be healthy. If you have been drinking unhealthy tap water and now change to a healthier spring water, this could possibly be beneficial. More importantly avoid sugars and do not consume excessive carbs.

Question 6

will drinking water  have any  impact on blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

Water and sugar: No significant impact on your blood sugar unless you become dehydrated or severely over hydrated.

Question 7

am i allowed to drink water while fasting for a blood sugar test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In fact you should drink a normal amount of non-caloric liquids to avoid becoming dehydrated, which can elevate blood sugar.

Question 8

is it possible to suffer from chronic dehydration if all organs in the body are healthy, sugar and electrolyte levels are balanced, drinking adequate amounts of water?

Accepted Answer

: It is curious as to what you mean by chronic dehydration. If you are not urinating at least every 8 hours you are on the low side of fluid intake but normal lab values mean your body/ kidneys have compensated for your pattern of fluid intake. If you are going this or more often, your body has what it needs.

Question 9

i have cranberry drink at home it has 23% concentrate of cranberry and cranberry flavour water and sugar my question is adding water to acidic fruit drink decrease it ph level as cranberry has lower ph and water is almost neutral please reply?

Accepted Answer

: When making the juice, some other ingredients are also added and the final product will be likely not as acidic as its main ingredient, either cranberry, lemon or orange. If the juice is acidic then adding plain water will increase the pH closer to the neutral pH of 7. Take care.

Question 10

so i have decided to cut out sugar. what i mean by that is i only eat my 3 meals a day and drink a lot of water. is it normal to experience a breakout about two weeks after the start of it. i am still getting sugar in but only if it is part of a meal?

Accepted Answer

Sugar / breakout: I am assuming you are talking about skin breakout or acne.  Not sure that's related to diet or sugar, though.  That being said, skin breakout, assuming you are referring to face, is usually acne - go see PCP or Urgent Care and get specific diagnosis so specific treatment can be advised.  Sounds like your diet is good.
