Should you drink water during your meal?
NO! Water dilutes stomach acid. It dilutes the digestive enzymes required to do the task of breaking down the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins you're taking in. In some people, this can lead to symptoms of indigestion such as bloating, flatulence, and a sensation of abdominal fullness. Although this may have the beneficial effect of discouraging you from overeating, if you're prone to indigestion, it may make the problem worse, particularly if you've eaten a large meal.
It's better to drink a glass of water 30 minutes BEFORE a meal.
Will you get sick from drinking water with ecoli?
Fresh bottled water should not make a person sick. Bottled water that is exposed to excessive heat temperatures may be harmful because of the toxins from the plastic bottle released into the water. A person would not feel the symptoms immediately making them sick although long term there could be effects.
Will drinking 3 litres of water a day help with weight loss?
Yes, water is very effective in helping with weight loss. Many times people feel hunger in their stomach when it is really liquid they need. Drinking a glass of water will relieve cravings and get you to the next meal without snacking. If you drink a glass of water before you eat your meals, you won't eat as much. So it is very effective in taking off the pounds. Good luck!

What does water to for your body and also how much do you need to drink in one day?

Can you get brain damage from drinking too much water?
Its possible since the kidneys can only deal with so much water. If you continually drink so much water that your kidneys can deal with it all, then various parts of your body will swell with overflow. This could include your brain tissue. When this happens, its known as a condition called brain edema. This could eventually kill you if you don't stop. All humans should drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day and up to 10 - 12 8 - 8 ounce glasses if perspiring from sports or anything that exerts or drains the body of fluids. If you are dsuppose rinking more than this then the above poster is correct. Answer I that it is true that you can have to much bodily fluid in your system, but if you lead a relatively active life the amount of energy you use and the amount of perspiration that occurs in your body, I dont think that you would need to worry about having swelling in the brain cells. It is true that if your lymphatic system to be more specific does not work efficiently that this could occur, but otherwise this is extremely like to occur and it shouldn't bother you. I think also the term that you are looking for is known as Cell lysis and not drowning!
Can you lose weight by drinking water for a week?
- Yes and no. The human body can go for an extended period of time without food. I went for 12 days without food. I do not recommend it for longer than three or four days. After that, the long-term effects on your body are not worth it, since your body can start eating it's own muscles for energy. It's been almost a year since my extended fast, and my body has still not fully recovered from the loss of muscle.
- Truly fasting, not eating anything, has been proven to be non-harmful (provided that you have enough fat and no metabolic problems) and in the past has been used for weight loss. There are records of people going for 40, 100, 120 days without any food. The trick is that you have to fast for at least 4 days to stop feeling hungry and after an extended fast (weeks, months) re-feeding can be tricky and in some cases dangerous. You will lose a steady trickle of weight over time. A week will cause you to lose between 1 and 2 pounds. You have to drink enough water and get enough rest and some sun. Most people have enough nutrients already in them and do not require vitamins until they get well past the point where they require calories. However, eating anything tips the balance and it becomes a diet, a starvation diet. Then, the metabolism does not adjust to using your fat and you will harm yourself. Therefore, fasting is a slow weight loss method. If you think that fasting for a while so that you can approach food and eating from a cleaner slate will help you, talking to your doctor about a fast would be appropriate. If you think that fasting will cause you to drop a lot of weight quickly, then you are misguided. There are fasting groups and fasting centers (like TrueNorth) that can help you put together a healthy fast. However, the big focus is getting more in touch with yourself, clearing your palette of a taste for junky foods and appreciating how beautiful life is and how much food is a part of the fabric of life. All worthy goals. Losing weight very quickly is more harmful than being over weight and losing more than a pound or two per week is too fast. Consider a lifestyle change rather than a diet, considering not eating anything is a sign that you are really needing a change.
- You will lose weight by starving yourself but, once you start eating again, you will gain more weight than you lost. This is because your body knows that you are starving and tries to hang on to nourishment it can get (and thus you get fat quickly). In addition, when you do not eat, your metabolism slows down and you will not be burning as many calories. Moreover, as mentioned in the first answer, your body will use muscle for energy, and then you are self-destructing. A better option would be to go on a sensible diet where you eat lots of fresh veggies & fruits and lean meats.
- You will loose weight because you are starving. You could possibly kill yourself by doing this. Generally people cannot last longer than a week without food. I understand that you drinking water which will hopefully keep you alive but this is very unrealistic. Doing this can be very damaging to your body. Not to mention as soon as you eat anything again your body will immediately store it away as fat because you are starving it. Fat is a reserve. I suggest that you eat healthy and workout. It's as simple as that. Though it may not be instant, the probability of you 'making it' is 100%.
- Actually, the human body can survive for three weeks without food and three days without water.
- An average (not overweight) male adult can go without food for 42 days as long as they are not subject to harsh weather and emotional distress. Whilst fasting it is extremely important to drink plenty of water (2 litre minimum). You are likely to lose an average of 1-2 lbs (.45-.9 kg) per day of fasting. Keep in mind that this is water and fat loss. This is normally spread out with a weight loss of about 2.2 lbs (1kg) each day for the first few days, and about 1 lbs (.45) each day thereafter. After about a week though, weight loss will slow dramatically. If you eat healthy and slowly re-introduce foods when finishing a fast you can expect none to minimal weight gain. I hope this helped, and as with anything health related talk to a doctor or research from reputable sources.

Mona Vie - A derivative of the Asai berry... The berry comes from the rainforests of Brazil, and is a super fruit! The juice can create a feeling of general well being.
----------
Good old water, and plenty of it, is one of the better choices. If you are nauseated, sometimes gingerale and sprite can help.

---------
Mona Vie is way too expensive, and hard to get. By the time you order it and get it in you will already be better. In addition, the properties of the ingredients that come in the bottle are so diluted they really don't have any nutritional value.
Warm liquids, like teas are the best. Peppermint and Chamomile tea have soothing properties that help your throat feel better.
Springs are simply freshwater. But some of the fish, if any, in springs are salt and fresh water fish. Think of ponds and rivers and lakes. Those are all freshwater too. One more fact that I have to tell you is that water should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
In Sudan how much fresh drinking water do they have?
difficult to say, there is not a lot of potable water around. the purification plant in Khartoum is frequently broken or not working properly because of the frequent power outages. in addition to this the physical delivery infrastructure (pipes etc) is also frequently out. most homes have storage tanks; i remember not having water in the house for 2 weeks and having to wash with bottled water.
in poorer areas or rural areas they don't even have this type of luxury. water is normally well or river water and polluted. they use traditional clay water pots which do filter out a lot of impurities in the water. there is still a lot of cholera and other water borne diseases around.
theoretically in summer due to the heat everyone should be drinking about 8 litres of water a day just to replace what is lost by sweating.
