  1. I was vacuuming and had an aural migraine at the same time (no pain, just distorted vision)

     

    I made a wise-crack to SWMBO about not drinking enough water. I figured it would start an elevated discussion - nope.

     

    We just went grocery shopping.

     

    Maybe I was thinking this might get controversial when I posted it, or my vision was crossed up?

     

    I really thought I was being funny. Water should be about the last thing to kill you, unless you're a bad swimmer?

  2. "Where did people get the idea that guzzling enormous quantities of water is healthful? A few years ago Heinz Valtin, a kidney specialist from Dartmouth Medical School, decided to determine if the common advice to drink eight, eight-ounce glasses of water per day could hold up to scientific scrutiny. After scouring the peer-reviewed literature, Valtin concluded that no scientific studies support the "eight x eight" dictum (for healthy adults living in temperate climates and doing mild exercise). In fact, drinking this much or more "could be harmful, both in precipitating potentially dangerous hyponatremia and exposure to pollutants, and also in making many people feel guilty for not drinking enough," he wrote in his 2002 review for the American Journal of Physiology—Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. And since he published his findings, Valtin says, "not a single scientific report published in a peer-reviewed publication has proven the contrary."
