每天喝3公升水 42岁女子1个月年轻10年
英国 《每日邮报》 《万维读者》 10/30/2013
想外表年轻10年，只需要每天喝3公升水！英国42岁女子史密斯（Sarah Smith）多年来饱受头痛和消化不良困扰，她听从医生建议，每天喝3公升水，一个月后头痛不药而癒，最惊喜是肌肤回复弹性，黑眼圈和皱纹亦消失，外表看来年轻了十年。
史密斯以往每天只喝约1公升饮料，黑眼圈、皱纹、红斑尽现，皮肤欠缺光泽，令她看似疲倦不堪。她决定作试验，四周内每天都喝3公升水。
医生指水份有助肾脏过滤血液内废物，清除器官毒素，为细胞带来营养。一周后，史密斯肤质转好；两周后黑眼圈和斑点转淡，头痛亦消失；三周后皱纹和黑眼圈几乎消失，肌肤更饱满。直至第四周，她形容皮肤「如小孩般有弹性」，令她决心往后每天都喝3公升水，唯一问题是经常上洗手间。

yala评论日期：2013-11-01 03:05:43 - 还是觉得没喝水前看着好一些。
yala评论日期：2013-11-01 03:03:48 - 水肿了吧？

尹吉普评论日期：2013-10-3118:17:56 - 3升水一天按照体内水分10%的周转率，即turnover，一个普通成人男子，70公斤体重含有约50公斤水。那么每天要排出5公斤水，也就是说要摄入相同量的水以保持体重和体水，以防脱水。其中包括从固体食物中的水以及氧化产生的水。照此看来，每天喝3000毫升水不算多。不过，加上食物氧化后产生的水可能超过5升。看来差距不是太大，有兴趣的可以细算一下。不过，喝3升水不会中毒，只占总体水的6%，除非是特殊情况及太矮的人。爱喝茶或咖啡的人，整天端着杯子，3升不到也差不多。可以试试，有问题马上去医院。

不一样评论日期：2013-10-31 17:14:45 - 等等吧，3升水每天，一个月，人会水中毒的。体内大量的有用物质会被排掉的。。。怀疑

Drinking three litres of water a day took TEN YEARS off my face:
Sarah, 42, was hoping to solve her headaches and poor digestion...
just look what else happened
One in five women drinks less than the recommended daily intake of water
Every system and function in our body depends on water...
Especially because the liquid flushes toxins from vital organs

You might think I'd have little in common with a camel, but we do
share one useful skill: both of us can go for a very long time without
water.
Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, then I might have a glass of
water with my lunch and one with dinner - that's about a litre of
liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently it's not
nearly enough.
After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a
neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my
poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three
litres of liquid a day for my body to function at its best.
After four weeks: Sarah looks like a different woman

Then, when I read a recent survey suggesting that at least one in five
women in the UK consumes less than the recommended daily intake of
water, I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I
drank the recommended amount every day for a month?
The photograph of me taken the day I started this trial demonstrates
perfectly - and rather frighteningly - what a lack of hydration does
to a face.
I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which
is shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which
make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish
blotches, and my skin lacks any lustre. It looks dead.

My daughters, Alice, eight, and Betty, four, tell me I look 'about 100
years old' in this photograph and I have to agree.
Even my lips look shrivelled. This is all classic evidence of poor
hydration, apparently. Every system and function in our body depends
on water.
It flushes toxins from the vital organs, carries nutrients to cells,
provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues, and
eliminates waste.
Not drinking enough means all these functions become impaired. So I
decided to see how I would look and feel if I drank three litres of
water every day for 28 days. The results were astonishing . . .

Three litres of water is just over five pints, which sounds like an
awful lot. I visit my local GP in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, to be sure
there can be no adverse health implications to upping my water intake
so dramatically.
He is very encouraging. 'I suggest you have a big jug of water in the
morning, then another in the afternoon and another in the evening,' he
says. 'Your kidneys, which filter waste products from the blood before
turning it to urine, will quickly feel the benefit, as they will be
getting a good flush through.'
I usually have a wee three times a day: when I get up, before I go to
bed and at some point in the afternoon. By the end of my first day of
drinking more water, I have had six and my usually sluggish bowels are
much more lively.
I exfoliate my face every day to try to get rid of dry patches before
I apply moisturiser, but suddenly I seem to be breaking out in spots.
Maybe it's all the toxins coming out of my skin. A few days into the
experiment I'm still urinating five or six times a day but it's clear
now, rather than dark yellow.
I'm enjoying lots of cups of tea. My husband says that's cheating, but
I tell him the British Nutritional Foundation says 'moderate amounts
of caffeine do not cause dehydration, so they do count towards your
fluid intake'.
I meet friends for a drink one night, remembering that alcohol is a
diuretic (a substance which promotes the production of urine), acting
on the kidneys. For every one alcoholic drink, your body can eliminate
up to four times as much liquid.
I assume a white wine spritzer is a good option because the alcohol is
diluted with soda water, and I sip water between alcoholic drinks
throughout the evening.
Hangover headaches result from dehydration: the body's organs try to
make up for a lack of water by stealing it from the brain, as a result
of which it actually shrinks.
Headaches result from the pulling on the membranes that connect your
brain to your skull. Ouch. Luckily, I escape all this and wake up
hangover-free.
For years I've been doing ten minutes of yoga every morning straight
after I get up, but I've been feeling stiffer over the past six
months. Yet since I started drinking more water my flexibility has
improved. Gemma Critchley, from the British Dietetic Association,
confirms that water helps lubricate the joints.

around my eyes less pronounced

My complexion is improving and my skin tone is more even. I still have
wrinkles under my eyes, but they look less crepey and shadowy than
before.
The blotches on my face are diminishing, and the shadows around my
eyes are less pronounced.
I feel pleased when my sister-in-law tells me my skin looks clearer
than it did a week ago. I have a busy week with lots of time away from
home, so I stock up on half-litre bottles of mineral water I can carry
around in my bag. A week's worth costs just over £8. If I spread my
water intake over the day, that's half a litre when I wake up, another
with breakfast, one with lunch, one in the afternoon, one with my
evening meal then another before bed. It sounds like a lot, but I'm
finding it manageable.
Today, I've noticed my breath smells less 'breathy', maybe because
I've ditched tea - I decided water was better for me. I'm certainly
not missing the sweet, milky taste it left in my mouth.
Gemma Critchley says: 'Water is obviously the best choice since it has
no calories and will hydrate you efficiently.' I say I might try juice
instead of water sometimes, just for the taste and variety, but she
warns me not to.
'If you drink a large glass of juice, you could be consuming more
energy than you need,' she says, which would mean weight gain.
I haven't had a headache for over a week now, which is unusual for me,
and I'm delighted that my bowels are working so much better. Result!
I went shopping this afternoon in Leeds, but having to find a lavatory
three times in five hours was irritating - they always seem to be in
the most hidden corner of every shop.
I'd expected my stomach to feel bloated with all the extra water but
it's actually flatter than usual. And my husband says the cellulite on
my bottom and thighs has vanished.
Surely this is too good to be true?
Week Three: My skin looks plumper and more nourished
Week Three: My skin looks plumper and more nourished
Week Three
Weight: 8st 6lb
Waist: 27.5in (lost half an inch)
The dark rings and wrinkles under my eyes have virtually disappeared,
and my skin looks plumper and more nourished. My friend, who is a
beauty therapist, says this is because the water is helping my skin
cells regenerate more efficiently.
I've noticed I've stopped rubbing my eyes when I wake up in the
morning. They used to be dry and full of sleep, but not now. All this
extra water must be keeping them moist.
I'm feeling guilty about all the plastic bottles I've been using so
I'm back on Yorkshire tap water, which I carry around in a re-usable
water bottle.
I have to take a long train journey and I realise afterwards how
productive I felt and how easy I found it to concentrate, rather than
having my customary snooze.
Dr Emma Derbyshire, senior lecturer in nutritional physiology at
Manchester Metropolitan University and adviser to the Natural
Hydration Council, says: 'Our brain is 73 per cent water, so poor
hydration can affect how it functions. Dehydration can reduce our
ability to concentrate as well as our cognitive performance.'
The downside was having to use train toilets. Dreadful.
I'm eating less because drinking water with meals makes me feel fuller
quicker. I used to snack, but I was reaching for food when I was
actually thirsty. Studies show 37 per cent of people mistake thirst
for hunger.
When I put on eye make-up, my eyes seem less wrinkled. When I rubbed
an eye-shadow applicator over my eyelid, it used to drag the skin with
it, too, but now my skin seems to have more elasticity.
Week Four: I am going to keep on drinking three litres of water every day
Week Four: I am going to keep on drinking three litres of water every day
Week Four
Weight: 8st 5lb (lost another 1lb)
Waist: 27in (another half an inch)
I genuinely can't believe the difference in my face. I look like a
different woman. The dark shadows around my eyes have all but
disappeared and the blotches have gone. My skin is almost as dewy as
it was when I was a child. The transformation is nothing short of
remarkable.
I'm feeling leaner and fitter, too, which is amazing, since the only
thing I've changed is the amount of water I drink. My best friend says
she's worried about how much water I'm consuming - she's heard rumours
about Nigella Lawson being an 'aquaholic' who drinks three litres
before bed.
But I am following safe guidelines under the supervision of my GP, so
I am able to reassure her.
I even enjoy another boozy night out but drink lots of water along the
way and wake up feeling fresh as a daisy. Whatever happens, I am going
to keep on drinking three litres of water a day - and would advise
every woman to do the same (after checking with her doctor, of
course).
I feel fitter, leaner and healthier, and my husband and friends tell
me I look ten years younger. Who in their right mind would not want to
try something which gets such incredible results?
