First, define "jus awake in the morning"? 10 minutes after waking up? 20? 30? Also would the 500ml of water have to be taken in 1 shot or could it be taken over a few minutes for it to be a "burden to your heart"?

Here's a tip, when posting a "tip" like the one quoted, provide a link to a documented medical journal or article so we know you're actually posting fact not BS.

The ideal amount of water is determined by the amount of water lost, it varies from person to person. A person who exercises daily and sweats alot will need to drink more than a person who doesnt.

Drinking 500ml in one shot is impossible if you jus awake in the morning, of cos we can't get off the bed instantly n directly go to take a glass of water to drink, we should take a 5 mins seat on the bed then only get off, i tot this is common sense, don't u no?

Drinking 8 glasses of water is for a normal ppl without doing any hypertension exercises, this must also see the water needed by the ppl himself or herself (individually see, so i put a range 225 to 300ml). In contrary, if u are a athlete who do a lot of exercises of cos you need to drink a lot of water.

Thanks guys.. for correcting me..

I stated 500ml because now a days the weather and the haze really terrible.. we need more water to clean our body ..

some more i work in office that for sure i need more..

Anywa guys.. i learnt alot from you guys..

Lets bring up health concern to everyone..

ermmm... i everyday wake up in the morning, the first thing is go toilet to pee and after that i drink 500ml of warm water. Why is it impossible to drink 500 ml of water? I can even drink down 1L of water if i want to. My cup is a big 500ml cup. After breakfast another 500~1000ml of water will be down my stomach. If it is my workout day, my water consumption will be around 3~5L per day. No problem at all, just need to go toilet often. Plus some more these days the air quality so bad, my body need to drink more water or else my lips will crack open up. Not to mention that the amount above is without the consumption of whey protein, if the whey protein comes in, my need to drink much more water. This is just me.

common sense or common myth? any articles to support your theory? or any reasoning at all? The japanese drink water right after they wake up, and a programme that helps cancer patients also recommends drinking water after waking up.

and what is hypertension exercise? some new exercise that causes high blood pressure?

You wouldnt want to bet on that one

Personally, I can get off the bed instantly, go take a glass of water, drink it down, refill the glass and chug it down. I don't see a need to take 5 mins to sit in bed before getting up, by that time I'm usually already warming up for my morning runs.

So, no I don't think it's common sense to have to sit in bed for 5 minutes.

What are you talking about? Squats, deadlift, bench press, all result in a momentary increase in BP. Define exercises which don't increase BP.

And as for your take in not taking in water the moment we get off bed? I wake up and i head straight to the kitchen for my morning shake of milk, oats, whey and fish oil. And the milk is 500ml.

And 8 glasses of water a day is normal under normal conditions. If you work in an air conditioned environment, you need more water to stave of dehydration. What about manual labor jobs?

Are you trying to tell me they should limit themselves to 8 glasses a day? Unless they're sufferring from a critical phase of congestive cardiac failure, i don't think your posts holds much validity.

However if you're talking in extremes, for a normal person, 30 glasses of water a day is too much, but i don't see what's wrong with a normal person consuming 10-12 glasses a day. I do, and that's not counting in my milk, which is also liquid.

if i drink 200ml of water
and then follow up my 300ml of milk

is it same effect as drink 500ml of water??

no. milk is milk, water is water.

They're both still liquids.

uhh okay...kinda got confused with another theory

lol...both are water

so syok, i want to slim down nia.

becoz milk will become solid when in stomach
therefore, i wonder is it have the same effect
or have the negative effect...

How does milk become a solid in your stomach?

actually when consumed milk dosent have the same purifying effect as water on the organs. Which is why we're never told to drink 8 glasses of liquids, but water.

eat-sleep, eat-sleep, eat-sleep, eat-sleep everday x2

i tot all of the people in here know it...
when protein get into stomach
the enzyme in stomach will turn milk from liquid to solid (i aledi forget is pepsin or pepsinogen)
thats why we are easily full after drink milk
liquid...
if we're told to drink 8 glasses of liquid in a day
then sure every children will drink 8 glassese of Coca-cola a day
sure will gain weight
i really hope mod or staff can warn this kind of people not to spam in here
