Even too much water becomes a bad thing.
Wiser to eat less down to the right amount and befriend the hunger that
arises from becoming super healthy while drinking when thirsty.
Hunger is good:

Chung apparently is not current on sports physiology either:
[Begin]
Hyponatremia is low blood sodium, which can occur when endurance
athletes including long distance walkers and runners lose sodium through
sweat and are unable to replace it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They may further dilute their blood sodium by continuing to drink large
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
amounts of water and losing further sodium through urination.

I'm precisely in the context of what you wrote: that too much water is
"When hyponatremia happens, which will be after thirst is quenched."
What I cited shows that thirst is NOT quenched, but that walkers and
runners continue to drink large amounts of water. If their thirst had
been quenched that would not be true.

I appreciate that staying thin has great cardio and other health benefits
and that undereating is one way to help ensure that one remains thin. The
downside of undereating, of course, is frequent mild hunger.
Also, drinking the recommended amount of 10-12 glasses of water daily,
regardless of whether one is thirsty, is necessary for proper hydration.
However, I'm like many people in that I don't remember (or I find it
inconvenient) to drink water that frequently throughout the day even though
I know I should.
I was simply suggesting what seems obvious to me, that drinking the
recommended 10-12 glasses per day, which is more than I otherwise would,
complements an undereating regimen. The additional water would both reduce
hunger and help to maintain proper hydration. Reduction of hunger through
water consumption should help one to stay on an undereating regimen with
minimal discomfort.

Chung, you stand convicted of disrespecting the OP of this thread, who
only posted to sci.med.cardiology, as did Don Kirkman, whereas you,
deceitful hate-filled, spamming, harassing, passive-aggressive,
bullying troll that you are, crossposted it to where you imagine that
you have friends in order to make a point about your own status as a
post-human entity.
Chung, stop whining. Usenet is not your "preciousssss".

Limiting intake to the optimal amount is not undereating.

Being hungrier is not a downside.
Super healthy people are super hungry.

The actual amount of fluid intake required for proper hydration will
vary from person to person from moment to moment. For example, someone
with kidney failure where there is no urine being made may go into
congestive heart failure from drinking 10-12 glasses of liquids a day.

Drinking to thirst is sufficient to keep people from becoming
dehydrated.

The reduction of hunger through water consumption is too transient to
be meaningful and will not help a person who falsely believes that
"hunger is bad" to reduce his/her intake to the optimal amount. It is
this latter false belief that is the source of discomfort and not the
hunger.

You might want to see if you can find that in a reputable
source; both the quantity and the idea that you should drink
even if you're not thirsty. The general measure for a "glass
of water" is 8 ounces. That works out to 80 to 96 ounces per
day, exclusive of the water contained in food or other
beverages. That's an enormous amount of water.
I've looked and not been able to find a study to confirm any
of it. Lots of dietitians and nutritionists say so, but no
science behind it that I've been able to find.

day, but now that I've searched for an authority on the subject, I can't
find one. In any case, I do believe that drinking generous amounts of
water daily has health benefits, and I've read that 80-96 ounces per day is
well within the capacity of the kidneys in generally healthy adults.

It remains wiser to simply drink to thirst.

Ok but Chung does have a good point in that we view
slight hunger as something evil and to be avoided at
ALL costs
When in fact.... slight hunger is actually as Chung

Yep, very simply, you have to buck up and take hunger for what it is.
Nothing much, relatively.
Then go about taking food and get it out of your life as something that you
rotate too much thought and energy on.

Reduce the intake down to the optimal amount, become super healthy
(lean and trim), and become super hungry.

More than to sell but to brainwash...

I am actually starving ! ! ! ! "

Being "Thirsty" is a good thing.
Calling All Zaccheuses .
Zaccheus Converted
(Luke 19:5-10 NASB)
5 When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus,
hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And he hurried and came down and received Him ?1?gladly.
7 When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, "He has gone ?1?to
be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
8 Zaccheus stopped and said to ?a?the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my
possessions I ?1?will give to the poor, and if I have ?b?defrauded anyone of
anything, I ?1?will give back ?c?four times as much."
9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because
he, too, is ?a?a son of Abraham.
10 "For ?a?the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was
lost."
[1]
We have to learn by contact with Jesus Christ is this, that if the whole human
race-everybody, good, bad and indifferent-is lost, we must have the boundless
confidence of Jesus Christ Himself about us, that is, we must know that He can
save anybody and everybody. There is a great deal of importance to be attached
to this point. Just reflect in your mind and think of some lives you know that are
frozen; there is no conviction of sin; they are dishonourable, and they know it; they
are abnormal, off the main track altogether, but they are not a bit troubled about it;
talk to them about their wrong doing and they are totally indifferent to you. You
have to learn how to introduce the atmosphere of the Lord Jesus Christ around
those souls. As soon as you do, something happens. Look what happened to
Zacchaeus-?"?And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any
man, I restore fourfold?"? (rv). Who had been talking to him about his doings?
Not a soul. Jesus had never said a word about his evil doings. What awakened
him? What suddenly made him know where he was? The presence of Jesus![2]
Luke 19:3-4 What a scene: Zacchaeus, a wealthy Roman official, first
ran-something dignified men never did-then scrambled up a tree in order to
catch a glimpse of this One passing by. The foundation of faith is childlike curiosity
and simplicity. Jesus said that we must enter the kingdom as a little child (Luke
18:17), as one who doesn't have all the answers but simply believes. Zacchaeus
models this beautifully.[3]
Luke 19:5 Although Zacchaeus may have thought he was seeking Jesus, in reality
it was Jesus who found him. The same is true of us (Romans 3:11).[4]
19:6 Zacchaeus did as he was told, and received the Lord joyfully. We can almost
certainly date his conversion from this time.
19:7 The Savior's critics all complained against Him because He went to be a
guest with a man who was a known sinner. They overlooked the fact that, coming
into a world like ours, He was limited exclusively to such homes!
19:8 Salvation had brought a radical change in the life of the tax gatherer. He
informed the Savior that he now intended to give half his goods to the poor. (Up to
this time, he had been gouging as much as possible from the poor.) He also
planned to make fourfold restitution for any money he had gained dishonestly. This
was more than the law demanded (Ex. 22:4, 7; Lev. 6:5; Num. 5:7). It showed
that Zacchaeus was now controlled by love whereas formerly he was mastered by
greed.
[5]
[Luke 19:8].
Something had happened to this man! He admitted that he had been robbing the
poor and promised to give half of his goods to the poor and to restore fourfold to
those whom he had falsely taxed. He was acting according to the Mosaic Law
(see Exod. 22). Something had happened inside Zacchaeus, and he was a new
man.
We are not given an account of the conversation between Zacchaeus and our
Lord. For some reason the Holy Spirit did not give us an account of what
transpired between these two men. However, when our Lord talked to men He
usually spoke of two things: (1) man's need and (2) God's ability to meet that
need. He did not have to tell Zacchaeus that he was a sinner. Zacchaeus knew he
was a sinner, and so did everyone else. The Lord told him there was a remedy for
sin. He said, "I am going to Jerusalem to die on the cross so that there will be a
mercy seat for you, Zacchaeus."
[6]
[Luke 19:9].
Zacchaeus was shut out from the mercy seat in the temple when he became a
publican. That mercy seat pointed to the Lord Jesus Christ and to His blood that
He shed for us on the cross. The Lord wanted this hated man to know that He
was going to Jerusalem to die, and His death would provide for him a mercy seat.
This publican made a decision for Christ and became a new man.
[7]
[Luke 19:10].
Note that Zacchaeus did not come to the door and say, "I want to give my
testimony: Jesus saves and keeps and satisfies." Rather he said, "Half my goods I
will give to the poor, and I will make right the things that have been wrong." By
this I know he has been converted. And, friend, this is the only way the world will
know that you are converted. They do not know it by testimony; they know it only
by what they see in your life.If it were not for his changed life, I would never know
that this old publican got converted.
The experience of Zacchaeus is a good illustration of what James says: "Yea, a
man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy
works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works" (James 2:18). Zacchaeus
showed his faith by his works. He did not talk about his faith; he demonstrated it.
The world is not listening for something today; it is looking for something.
Zacchaeus had what the world is looking for. Jesus had dinner with him and his life
changed.
[8]
"Zacchaeus is an example of radical repentance, not of practical wisdom, and it is
assumed that his response will leave him pretty much in the same financial state
required of the rich ruler."424 [9]
Jesus is still entering and passing through your town wherever it is, and He wants
to have dinner with those who do not know Him. He wants to talk about your soul
and salvation. What about it? Has He passed through your home? Has He
knocked on your heart's door? Have you let Him in?

May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water curing our
diabetes, depression, anxiety, or panic so that we can love our
neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ a whole bunch more, dear
neighbor George whom I love unconditionally.
