title: "Drink at Least 8 Glasses of Water a Day to Be Healthy?"
abstract: The saying "drink at least 8 glasses of water per day to be healthy" has had little supporting evidence. The purpose of this article was to briefly introduce the role of hydration in health in order to explore in more detail recent observational studies of hyperhydration in chronic kidney disease (CKD) in man. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study initially noted a negative association between increasing urine output and progression of CKD that was absent when corrected for baseline variables. Recently, data from 2 different cross sectional populations found those with the highest fluid intake had a significantly lower risk of CKD. In a longitudinal, community based cohort study adjusted for baseline variables, decline in kidney function was significantly slower in those with higher versus lower baseline urine volume. These new and contradictory results underline the need for a randomized controlled study to test the hypothesis that increased fluid intake will slow renal decline. Nutr Today. 2013;48(4S):S18 S21

title: Water consumption and prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among adults
abstract: No previous study examined the association between whole day water intake and odds of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) We examined the association between whole day water intake and odds of IBS in a large sample of Iranian adults.  This cross sectional study was conducted among 4763 adults in Isfahan, Iran. Daily water intake was assessed using a pre tested questionnaire by asking questions about the average number of glasses of water consumed in a day. IBS was assessed and defined using a modified Persian version of Rome III questionnaire.  After taking potential confounders into account, no significant association between water consumption and odds of IBS was seen (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.74 1.78) We observed that participants who were taking >8 glasses/d of water had greater odds of IBS M in comparison to those who consumed <2 glasses daily (OR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.01 4.22) No significant association was observed between water intake and odds of IBS in either gender as well [for men: OR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.59 2.24 and for women: OR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.62 2.12] By BMI status, no significant association was observed between whole day water intake and odds of IBS among normal weight (BMI<25 kg/m2) or overweight and obese people (BMI>=25 kg/m2)  We found that whole day water intake was not associated with odds of IBS. A significant association between consumption of >8 glasses of water per day and odds of IBS M was observed.

title: Is it Safe to Reduce Water Intake in the Overactive Bladder Population? A Systematic Review
abstract: Overactive bladder imposes a significant socioeconomic burden on the health care system. It is a commonly held belief that increased fluid intake (8 glasses of water per day) is beneficial for health. However, increased fluid intake exacerbates overactive bladder symptoms. Thus, it is imperative that clinicians appropriately educate patients for whom increased water intake may be detrimental (women with overactive bladder) in contrast to patients with comorbidities that necessitate increased water intake (nephrolithiasis) We systematically reviewed the literature to determine the potential health advantages of increased water intake and identify specific subpopulations that need increased hydration.  We systematically reviewed published articles from 1972 through 2017 on PubMed(r) and the Cochrane Library. The data were reviewed independently by 2 individuals. Studies were included if they explored water intake in relation to the risk of a particular disease.  Level 1 evidence supported increased fluid intake in patients with nephrolithiasis. There was no available evidence to support increased fluid intake in patients with cardiovascular disease, constipation, venous thromboembolism, headaches, cognitive function or bladder cancer. Dehydration may exacerbate some conditions, specifically chronic constipation and headache intensity. Increased fluid intake may have a role in preventing stroke recurrence but not in preventing primary stroke.  The available reviewed literature suggests no benefit to drinking 8 glasses of water per day in patients without nephrolithiasis. Also, excess fluid intake can exacerbate symptoms of overactive bladder.

title: Estimation of Chloride Hardness in Drinking Water in University of Education, Vehari Campus, Vehari, Punjab, Pakistan
abstract: The drinking water in University of Education Vehari (UEV) was analyzed to monitor its Chloride hardness. This project was performed in chemistry Lab of UEV. The chemical/analytical test used to analyze the water Chloride hardness was Argentometric Titration or Mohr Method of analysis. In this test, a water sample was tested properly in chemistry lab. From the results, the molarity of Chloride content was calculated. The molarity of resulted Chloride was 0.0133, showing the most hardness of water. It is declared that due to hardness of Chloride amounts in drinking water, the water of university is unfit for drinking. This concentration of Chloride ions in very small water sample is too much. In normal, we daily intake 6 8 glasses of water which means 800 1000 ml or 1 L daily. If we calculate this concentration for 1 L, it will be most dangerous especially for human health. Chloride hardness causes various typical issues, for example, evaporator scaling, washing, spots on sink, sturdiness of hair and skin. It is also said that hard water causes diverse therapeutic problems; for example, urolithiasis, cardiovascular confusion, kidney problems, anencephaly. It can cause most of stomach diseases in humans. So, authors recommended using this water after boiling, filtration or chlorination of water.

title: FACTORS INFLUENCING FOOD CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOR IN BUDDHIST MONKS WITH NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
abstract: This research was aimed to study factors influencing food consumption behavior and health status in Buddhist's monk with non communicable diseases. The population for this study will be the monks and select by purposive to recruit the participants who were meet the inclusion criteria such as Diabetes mellitus, Heart disease, Hypertension, Cancer and so on. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic and qualitative method.The result were as, food consumption behavior of Buddhist monks when considered by the questionnaire showed that most monks consume know the best food for themselves. They usually consume healthy and variety food with the highest scores. The monks select kind of vegetable and low sugar fruit such as apple, and papaya. They drink 6 8 glasses of water per day. However there are many of participants perform inappropriate behavior regarding food consumption such as eating instant food and fast food, very sweet dessert because of delicious. This result represent most participants have knowledge related to selecting beneficial food. Buddhist monk necessary to receive food from people. The monk cannot avoid having food that offer by the Buddhist and most of them lack of exercise. The major point which made them got disease is beverage, drink, including water as well as any other liquid after lunch until midnight. This situation and health behavior have significantly for health promotion in Thailand population to select the healthy food especially beverage to avoid non communicable diseases in monks.

title: Water Consumption Pattern Profile and Dehydration Level on Elderly Living in Low Level Land and High Level Land
abstract: This research purpose was to analyze water consumption profile pattern and dehydration level on elderly living in low level land and high level land. The method was used a survey method with cross sectional design. This research was held at Dadap Sub District as low level land (LLL) and at Lembang Sub District as h igh level l and (HLL) This research was taken place on April until November 2013. The samples of this research were the 120 elderly people whose aged 60 70 years old, with each location was 60 people. The sampling technique was done by simple random sampling. Water consumption pattern data were collected by using a questionnaire with interview techniques and a 24 hours food recall method. Meanwhile, the level of dehydration were collected by using urine color indicator test levels. To determine differences in water consumption patterns and levels of dehydration between the LLL and HLL used U Mann Whitney test. The results was above 50% elderly in both places were consumption of water 5 8 glasses/day. There were 75 elderly in LLL and 31.67% in HLL suffer moderate dehydration. Meanwhile, 5 elderly in LLL and 33.3% in HLL suffer severe dehydration. The conclusion of this research were there w e r e n't difference of the water consumption patterns and the dehydration level on elderly living in LLL and HLL.

title: THE EFFORTS TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BALANCED NUTRITION AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN
abstract: The balanced nutrition paradigm is currently unknown to the general public, especially school age children. The old paradigm of four healthy five perfects is still taught in schools. Whereas in the new paradigm of balanced nutrition, in addition to the principle of nutrition that must be consumed in a balanced manner, there is another message that must be conveyed, namely physical activity at least 30 minutes every day, regular exercise, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, washing hands before and after eating and always monitor your weight.  This community service activity aims to improve balanced nutrition knowledge in elementary school age children.  The method of community service is through lectures and games for ice breaking so that the atmosphere becomes more fun.  Most of the students of SDN Kalisari 1 Surabaya were female (54% 10 years old (62% and parents had jobs in the "other" category namely construction workers, janitors and farm workers (38% As many as 83% of students have breakfast habits and 88% of students often access the internet. The level of student's knowledge of balanced nutrition is included in the sufficient category (59% There is a difference in the level of knowledge before and after counseling about the concept of balanced nutrition (a 0.04)  Efforts to increase knowledge of balanced nutrition with counseling and game methods are considered effective because there is a significant increase in the level of knowledge of SDN Kalisari 1 Surabaya students.
