It's all in the hormones. Sometimes you'll have more in your system than other times. It doesn't matter whether you've eaten, but stress, and getting enough water and rest can affect how bloated you are. Unfortunately, bloating is a side effect of PMS. Try some Ibuprofen or Midol, drink plenty of water and exercise or get some rest, and you'll feel a lot better.

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

Believe it or not, the best way to not retain water is to stay well hydrated and avoid a high salt diet.  A moderate exercise regimen is very helpful as well.  \n\nOne of the worst things people do, is decrease water intake.  This has a reverse effect by actually causing your body to try an hold on to as much as possible, holding it in the supporting tissues, maximally concetrating the serum and urine.\n\nAlso, don't take other people's prescription medications.  If you feel medication is needed for your problem, get the right medication and treatment plan from a physician.

Water does provide some nourishment for the skin and prevents dryness and flakiness.  It moves to the top layer of skin through transepidermal water loss.  \nHowever, I don't believe that you should actually drink eight to ten gallons or glasses of water each day.  Drink when you're thristy.

It's zero points because it has no nutritional value to speak of... a bit of vitamins but little else.  Check the sodium content too.  Too much could get you dangerously close to the daily max, which will cause your body to start retaining water.

I think you mean BLOATED, and NO it's not good to drink too much water or gatorade. Try to stick with about 8-10 glasses of water a day, that's plenty.

You'll only lose water, so there will be an initial drastic loss, but once you drink water, your body will absorb it again and the weight will come back.  If you don't replenish the fluids, you risk damaging your liver and kidneys along with a constant thirst.  It's not a healthy or lasting diet alternative.

That often happens from too much salt and poor circulation. Just put pressure on where it's numb. It's nothing serious as to where you need to see a doctor. Just cut down on the salt and if you start noticing any patterns or constant craving for water then you should see a doctor. Poor circulation and constant craving for water are signs of becoming a diabetic. I've learned all this stuff. ♥

Drink 6-8 cups of water a day. It normalizes the metabolizm. If you drink too much water (more than 8 cups daily) it could lead to kidney problems later in life. So drink not too much and not too little. Exercise also helps in the process and getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily.

Yes, it does. However, studies have shown that you don't need 8 glasses of water a day JUST to be hydrated. In fact, a marathon runner a few years back died from drinking too much water. I'm guessing that if you're not thirsty, you're hydrated.

Symptoms may include headaches similar to what is experienced as a hangover, a sudden episode of visual snow, decreased blood pressure (hypotension), and dizziness or fainting when standing up due to orthostatic hypotension. Untreated dehydration generally results in delirium, unconsciousness, and death.\n\nDehydration symptoms generally become noticeable after 2% of one's normal water volume has been lost. Initially, one experiences thirst and discomfort, possibly along with loss of appetite and dry skin. Athletes may suffer a loss of performance of up to 50%, and experience flushing, low endurance, rapid heart rates, elevated body temperatures, and rapid onset of fatigue.\n\nThe symptoms become increasingly severe with greater water loss. One's heart and respiration rates will increase to compensate for decreased plasma volume and blood pressure, while body temperature may rise due to decreased sweating. Around 5% to 6% water loss, one may become groggy or sleepy, experience headaches or nausea, and may feel tingling in one's limbs (paresthesia). With 10% to 15% fluid loss, muscles may become spastic, skin may shrivel and wrinkle, vision may dim, urination will be greatly reduced and may become painful, and delirium may begin. Losses of greater than 15% are usually fatal
