They say you should drink half your weight in ounces and then a bit more if you are working out for an hour or more. I don't know if my opinion or thought is of any help though.teacherwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791382386588836461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-11769811680017966162009-09-26T15:46:27.189-04:002009-09-26T15:46:27.189-04:00I drink close to 100 oz of water a day.

Just checked in the follow your racing adventures.<br /><br />One thing you might consider is having your dr. test you for some autoimmune conditions. I have something called Sjogren's Syndrome, in which the body essentially attacks its own moisture-producing glands. As a result, I don't have enough fluid, and it causes everything from dry eyes to a dry mouth to kidney infections and more. <br /><br />At any rate, I mention this because I drink anywhere from 3 to 4 liters a day. Mostly water, but some diet soda, too. When you said how much you drink, if you do that NOT just when you're active - like, during your work day, too - it really made me think of my situation. <br /><br />(I drink even more when I'm active, and I have to be very careful. Because of how drastic of a case I have, and it can vary from person to person, I don't sweat - PERIOD. Sounds good till you realize how much that keeps your body from overheating. So, I have to drink TONS while I'm active - usually about a liter every half-hour - to make sure I have enough moisture to sweat at least a little, keep me cool.<br /><br />Fun huH? :)Joan Conciliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037521306574698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-65732651307259033872009-09-25T20:49:02.276-04:002009-09-25T20:49:02.276-04:00I drink A LOT Of water during the day...but not so...I drink A LOT Of water during the day...but not so much when I run.

K? but when I exercise, I drink 24 oz of fluid per hour, and then some if its hot. If its cool out, then I will cut back on that... You should have to pee every 2 hours or so when you are running/biking.<br /><br />The key thing with water poisoning is to not dilute your sodium. As long as you are getting enough salt into your system (and not out, like sweating), then you will be fine.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-7564033127424015302009-09-24T09:26:56.911-04:002009-09-24T09:26:56.911-04:00I drink about the same as you, 3 or so liters (som...I drink about the same as you, 3 or so liters (sometimes more, eek!). My water bottle is 900 ml and I refill it several times a day. I think you can only over-hydrate if you're drinking that much at one time, not spaced throughout the day. Let me know if you hear otherwise... :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837424592627932975noreply@blogger.com
