[QUOTE="nephron, post: 735257, member: 23759"] How 'bout outline form, and if you want me to expound on any of it, let me know. 1) Water should probably be classified as a necessity and natural component of the body, than a 'benefit'--in and of itself. 2) Now, specifically your question re: the benefit of XS water intake: a) maintenance of a large volume dilute urine reduces the risk of stones b) drinking a lot of water promotes normal 'waste' mass, movement and elimination (thus, reducing constipation--we're not talking urine here). c) may reduce hunger--that's all I can think of right now. Really, the situation renally is complex, but suffice it to say that the function of the kidney is to filter and process at multiple levels (including water balance)--that the kidney filters about 180L per day, [B]but only excretes 1-2L/day[/B]--and that if you were to increase your water intake by 2L, your kidneys would say: Hey, what the hell's going on here? and promptly dump it into the bladder. So now you've increased your urine output by 2L, but excreted the same poison amount in both urines: the 2L one, and 4L one. One urine's just more concentrated than the other. You've not affected the kidney's capability to handle and clean your blood at all, and have only increased your urine output. So I guess if you really like to pee and enjoy it very much, that's another benefit. :eek: [/QUOTE]
