Importance of water consumption
The reading is on the topic of the importance of water for our body and states certain detrimental effects if not consumed in the required quantity. The lecturer, however, casts doubt on the author's claims and finds them not well founded.
To begin, the author cites a famous quote about drinking eight glasses of water during the day and mentions that certain Americans are suffering from dehydration as they are not consuming as much water, which is lost doing enervating activities. However, the lecture debunks this point of the author, as no study proves that we require eight glasses of water or that Americans are suffering from dehydration. Second, the author affirms that overconsumption of beverages is the main source of dehydration in our body, but the lecturer casts doubt on this fact and holds a stance that this fact has not been confirmed by any of the medical studies. She goes on to say that the sugar in these beverages could lead to some problems, but dehydration cannot be caused by their consumption.Finally, the author puts forward that dehydration could lead to poor health, like weakening of muscles and weight gain and affirms that we should drink as much water as possible. The lecturer challenges this argument and states that one should observe the indications given by our body and intake water only when you feel thirsty.
