Re: Knife's edge of sickness

I'm sorry, everything else you say is fine, but the water thing is crap. Humans do not need to drink 2 litres of water a day: that just makes you pee more. Humans need to have access to liquids for when they are thirsty, and need to notice when they are thirsty.

The "2 litres" thing came from an observation that an average person sitting around all day loses about 2 litres of water a day, in urine and sweat and in their breath. So, we need to take in that much, on average, but we get most of it from our food. Squash and juices are also fine sources of water, yes even cups of tea because it's not as diuretic as cranks would have you think. If it's very hot, or you're active, you may need more. How much more? Drink when you're thirsty. Your body regulates this stuff, as long as you listen and don't just force yourself to drink way more than you need.

The "drink 8 glasses" thing is an urban legend which the water companies have been happy to jump on.

Oh woah, sorry, I also just noticed you recommend deep breathing in times of stress to increase oxygen. You don't want to be taking deeper breathes in when you're stressed and panicked: the problem is often hyperventilating, which is what your body does to increase oxygen because you're going all fight-or-flight. You want to counter that, to force your body to calm down, by concentrating on long slow breathes out.
