Drink LESS Water

We should be drinking 8 glasses of water every day, right? Not really.

We hear it all the time – we should all be drinking 8 glasses of water a day. All that water should help our skin and clear toxins from our body. But according to kidney specialist Stanley Goldfarb, those 8 glasses a day isn’t really necessary. It’s the kidney’s job to filter out toxins – and too much water can actually decrease their efficiency. He says it’s really important not to get dehydrated – and to drink water when you’re thirsty – but there’s no real evidence that forcing down more than that really helps in other departments.
