RE: Quick Fact: Drinking Minimum 2 Litres of Water Per Day (The Myth)
In reality the only thing you need to do is to keep yourself hydrated during the day. The myth is just that, a myth . But it's an easy way of telling people why they should drink water during the day.
People are not that stupid to be told that they need to drink water. Our bodies tell us when we need to drink - we simply become firsty. Sometimes we need more (like during certain prolonged atheltic performance or in very hot environment due to extensive sweating), sometimes less. The 2 litre a day is bullshit. 160cm tall female with 60kg body weight living in arctic circle may need only 0.5 litre of water a day. 2m tall male lumberjack weighing 120kg, working in tropical forest may need 6 litres a day. And so on...
It becomes stupid when we perpetuate and follow myths.
Completely agree with you , myths should be debunked if false and proven if true .
