A few days ago, my friend and brilliant doctor Dr. Frederico Lobo (Medical Ecology Clinic) sent me this via Twitter: RT @ecologiamedica: Is it? https:\/\/twitter.com\/dricaroalves<\/a> \u201c@folhaequilibrio: \u2018The need to drink a lot of fluids is a new myth\u2019, says nephrologist - https:\/\/www1.folha.uol.com.br\/equilibrioesaude\/2012\/09\/1146688-necessidade-de-tomar-muito-liquido-e-mito-novo-diz-nefrologista.shtml<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I answer to everyone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 First of all, read the content of the link above...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\ufe0f\u20e3 Read what I've already answered on the subject at this link: https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/agua<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\ufe0f\u20e3 Ask yourself: does the statement \u201cthe need to drink a lot of fluids is a new myth\u201d have a plausible justification in the article, supported by logical physiology or useful scientific work? I got the distinct impression that it didn't...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4\ufe0f\u20e3 Was the opinion of the medical colleague quoted in the article adequately reproduced in the article? Or did the editing of what was said possibly give a different connotation to what was originally said?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\ufe0f\u20e3 If the need to drink more water is a myth, why do people who drink more water generally have better skin hydration, nail\/hair appearance\/strength, bowel function and numerous general symptoms (headaches, tiredness, dizziness and even pathologies such as high blood pressure)? Is it just a \u201ccoincidence\u201d? Certainly not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6\ufe0f\u20e3 Without taking into account each person's diet, individually and in detail, can we really say that the food we eat is enough to provide the body with the amount of water it needs to function properly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7\ufe0f\u20e3 Do those who drink little water\/day perform as well as those who try to drink more, around 3l\/day? Well... I could be wrong, but with more than 20,000 patients treated so far, my experience shows that those who are better hydrated usually perform much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8\ufe0f\u20e3 Could it be that once again the \u201cdisease industry\u201d is sneaking up behind a myth? After all, have you noticed how a lot of things\/knowledge that could help people in prevention, health promotion, to \u201cget sick less\u201d have been criticized, even without plausible evidence for it? Could it be that there are people who profit from you getting sick, wanting you to disbelieve at all costs and stop practicing everything that can simply bring you health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9\ufe0f\u20e3 Nowadays, not everything published by the lay press can be trusted... Once again, it's important to make an accurate critical judgment of what is written, especially when your health is at stake! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers, everyone: and watch out for the real \u201cmyths\u201d out there! Dr. Icarus<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
