According to Ayurveda one should drink minimum 8 glasses of water a day. I

guess that's about two liters.

Our Humble Obeisances

 

 

"Sodas and even fruit juices are not substitutes for water."

 

Interesting detail, would you like to elaborate about the reasons?

 

Due to cold climat here in Finland, devotees drink lot of warm/hot drinks,

herbal teas, milk, plain water is generally less from the total amount of

liquid taken.

If you were going to wash your dirty hands, would you use soda or fruit

juice, or would you use water?

 

You could goggle this as easily as I could for more scientific explanation,

but the water in fruit juices and soda is a carrier for sugars and other

substances which require some digestion. Herbal teas are about the same as

plain water, I would think.

 

There is some evience of a link between sodas and colon cancer but it is not

verified yet. Soda business is billions of dollars profit yearly, getting

someone to stop drinking them profits no one but the ex drinker, so I can

imagine further studies on the connection to colon cancer are underfunded.
