kidney stones, getting enough water

[Guest guest]

I live in the area you mentioned and yes it does seem like we have lots of

allergies problems and kidney stones. Don't know what it is, but I've know lots

with these problems. I drink 8 -10 glasses of water most days, unless we are on

the road a lot. Since our bodies are mainly made of water it is important to

drink a lot of it. Every function in the body depends on it. It is warm here

and we perspire out lots as well.

 

Yes Caffeine does dehydrate us. We need equal amounts of water/ per glass of

caffeine beverages, to make us for the extra loss from it. Folks here do seem

to consume large amounts of Ice Tea here and coke. I drink mostly water and

diluted juice.
