Perhaps you have seen the following picture, which must be from the most boring person in the group:

Of course, this "drinking eight glasses of water a day" in the picture is the oldest health metaphysics in the world. Nine times out of ten, your parents will believe it very much, and you probably will.

Some people say that this drinking method can prolong life, and some people say that this drinking method can lose weight. In fact, it is just a folk philosophy of "walking after meals and living to ninety-nine", which has been proved by modern science to be "actually useless".

According to textual research, this statement probably originated from the nutritionist Frederic Starr, the founder of the Nutrition Department of Harvard University, who is very influential in the United States.

In his book, he accidentally mentioned that "ordinary adults need to drink 6-8 glasses of water every 24 hours", and there is no basis for scientific experiments-but this became the beginning of the "drinking water movement" in the next few decades, and even made Americans drink 20% more water every day.

Although this trend is gradually fading, there are still some people who believe in the concept of eight glasses of water and even gradually form a group: drinking water religion. On Reddit, the largest forum in North America, there is a branch of drinking water called Hydro Homies.

This "Hydro Homies" is actually a bit difficult to embody the essence in Chinese. The former "hydro" means "water", and the latter "homie" is probably a kind of intimate address like "buddy, buddy"-here, I will translate it into "brother love the water" for the time being.

Like the famous flying spaghetti teaching, drinking water teaching is also a rather loose organization.

More like a political party with the same beliefs. As long as you love drinking water, you can get pleasure from drinking water, and you can feel the benefits (both physically and mentally) brought by drinking water, you are already a qualified drinker.

Like a man in How to Be a Big Brother in love the water? The senior member who answered this question said, "It's a spiritual thing to have sex with brothers, it's a spiritual thing."

Among love the water's old friends, there is a saying that will be repeatedly mentioned: "Stay hydrated." If translated into Chinese, it is probably equivalent to "drinking more water", which is short and powerful and reflects the root of drinking water religion. You only need to do one thing: drink water and drink hard.

And all other behaviors will extend from the point of "drinking more water". You will start to drink less water, take water bottles with you, buy bigger and bigger water bottles, indulge in the health benefits of drinking water, visit the forum of "Brother love the water" and spread the gospel of water to people around you. ...

Yes, it's beautiful and pure, only drinking water. A real love the water brother will frown when he sees coke. Pure water is the best, mineral water is ok, and soda water is not very good. As for soda, tea, coffee and wine, they are all heresies in our teachings.

Everything comes so naturally that we can even sum up the teaching of drinking water with the motto of Dota: "More is beauty, and bigger is good!" " (of water and water bottles) "

This hobby of drinking water will gradually spread to other fields. For example, although people have their own preferences for the three royal families in Baokemeng, in the eyes of love the water's old buddies, there is only one choice, and there will always be only one:

Most religions have their own saints, and the saints of drinking water religion are actually quite famous: Daniel Drinkwater, a football player.

The most famous story of this brother is that he created the "leicester city Miracle" with the team in 20 16. At that time, leicester city, as a "civilian team" with low overall value, overthrew many giants to win the championship, and Drenwort became famous as a midfielder.

Because his surname is literally translated as "drinking water", he is called "drinking water brother" by the majority of fans, and even created a series of drinking water stalks.

In the eyes of drinking water religion, he is simply the most suitable leader. As a football player, what should a drinking brother do if he doesn't drink more water?

Although it is stingy to drink water and play football now, as long as drinking water is fun, everything will be fine.

In the eyes of love the water's old buddy, drinking water itself is supreme. They believe that every time you drink water, it is a blessing. Every time you drink water, you turn over a new page in your life, making you radiant and different.

Some people have cured acne by drinking water. Some people say that drinking water can make skin and hair full and shiny ... When some boring friends in the comment area said that they still have dark circles after drinking a lot of water, the old buddy said, "You should take vitamin D supplements, which has nothing to do with drinking water."

For beginners, drinking 8 glasses of water every day is a basic task, and it is not divorced from the people at all. In fact, you can find a special "30-day drinking water challenge" calendar everywhere. According to the instructions of this challenge, drink 8 glasses of water every day, hook it for a month, and you will be brand new!

At least many people who have completed the 30-day drinking challenge will think so. They like to show their before and after pictures like weight loss advertisements, such as this one:

Or like this:

Like this:

At least as far as I'm concerned, I don't think these sisters have changed much except that drinking water is good for hair growth ... Maybe they will be happier when they smile, but in this case, playing games directly may be more helpful:

However, it is not enough for the public to say that beauty is a blessing. Water worship has a smaller and healthier worship, that is, "my urine is colorless!" "

Although this pursuit of colorless urine seems a bit awkward, I guess you must have experienced a similar scene: after going to the toilet, you silently said to a pool of brown liquid, "Is there something wrong with me?"

In this way, love the water's colorless and transparent holy water has obviously become a proof of supreme health.

Of course, as a member of the drinking water religion, you also need to pay some price, such as going to the toilet more often-but think about it, all you drink is your bladder, and what you get is a shiny body full of water!

When faced with friends who don't understand the fun, preaching the gospel will also become a difficult thing. You can never imagine how a brother in love the water would struggle when he heard someone say "I think all water tastes the same".

However, all this will no longer be a problem.

When you become a real love the water brother, all you have to do is drink water, drink water and drink water. Drinking water can solve all problems, even the end of the world-when a flood like "20 12" comes, it's time for love the water's old buddies to come out.

So ... this is the last line of this article. You know what to do at this time.

Drink more water, old iron.
