4.We’ve all heard the age-ld advice t drink eight cups f water a day. But if yu fall shrt, dn’t wrry: That advice is prbably wrng anyway.
That’s accrding t new research. which fund that fr mst healthy adults, there is n real benefit t drinking eight cups f water a day.
The advice t drink eight cups f water a day cmes frm a 1945 recmmendatin frm the Fd and Nutritin Bard f the Natinal Research
Cuncil, which encuraged adults t cnsume abut 64 unces f water daily. The recmmendatin referred t a persn’s ttal daily intake f water,
including frm all their fds and drinks, but it was widely misinterpreted t mean that peple shuld drink 8-unce glasses f water every day.
T see hw much water peple really need, Herman Pntzer, a prfessr at Duke University and his c-authrs analyzed data n 5,600 peple. The
participants were tracked with a gld-standard technique called “dubly labeled water”, which uses water laced with tracers that can be used t track
the bdy’s prductin f carbn dixide, allwing the researchers t get precise measurements f the participants’ daily energy cnsumptin.
The researchers determined hw much water the participants lst and replaced each day. a measurement knwn as water turnver (水周转率). They
fund that a persn’s daily water turnver was largely determined by their size and their level f bdy fat, which cntains less water than muscle and
ther rgans. The mre “fat-free” mass a persn has, the mre water they need.
The research shwed that hw much water yu need changes ver yur lifetime. In general, ur water needs peak between the ages f 20 and 50
and then decline in parallel with the slwing dwn f ur metablisms (新陈代谢).
S hw much water shuld yu drink? The answer is simple: Drink when yu’re thirsty. Priritize water, and try t avid sugary drinks, which can
cause metablic prblems. “If yu’re paying attentin t yur bdy and drinking when yu feel like yu need t, then yu shuld be fine,” Pntzer
said.

When I mentined this t my friends, they said, “Well, why dn’t yu run the Lndn Marathn?!” They laughed and s did I — we all knw that
I’m nt an athlete at all. I’d never dne any running befre. But later, I started t think that it might nt be a bad idea.
I apprached the charity and discussed the pssibility f participating in the marathn n their behalf. They were excited with the idea and agreed t
appint me as their representative. With their supprt, I purchased the necessary running equipment and began my training jurney.

Every night, I laced up my running shes and hit the sidewalk, determined t build my endurance. After a mnth f cnsistent training, I was
pleasantly surprised t discver that I culd cmfrtably run nearly five kilmeters. Hwever, the reality remained: the marathn cvered a challenging
distance f 42 kilmeters.
With the race nly five mnths away, I intensified my training effrts. I pushed myself t the limits, knwing that cmpleting the marathn was nt
nly a persnal achievement but als a means t secure funds fr fur much-needed wheelchairs. The thught f making a difference in the lives f
disabled children mtivated me t persevere.
As the race day apprached, I filled my mind with determinatin and excitement. I knew that crssing the finish line wuld symblize the end f my
hard wrk and the success f a nble cause. With the supprt f my friends and the charity, I culd run 25 kilmeters during my training sessins.
