NAS JAN 2023 1 WATER

In this podcast, the speaker discusses the topic of drinking water and questions whether the commonly recommended amount of eight glasses a day is too much. New research suggests that many people only need to drink between 1.5 and 1.8 liters a day. Factors such as living in hot countries, being an athlete, or being pregnant can increase the need for more water. The speaker emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to water intake and encourages listeners to understand their own bodies and circumstances. The podcast also mentions upcoming group classes that will further explore this topic and offer activities to learn idioms and engage in discussions. Hi there, and welcome to English Podcasts with Ness. I'm Ness, a CELTA-certified native English speaker. I am a professional tutor, and I have been teaching internationally and online for the last 11 years. I have a five-star rating, and in my podcast, I want to explore the different group class topics that we will be discussing in 2023, so let's look at what's happening in January. One of our engaging, interesting, and dynamic classes, NASA's Consul Club, will explore the topic of drinking water, but it's never simple with me. Our conversation is going to be about whether eight glasses of water a day may be too much. Well, that's an interesting concept. I suppose that for most of your life, you've heard the advice that you should drink eight liters, sorry, eight glasses of water a day, or two liters of water a day, but hey, guess According to new research, this may be too much for some people. In fact, the researchers insist that many people only need to drink between one and a half and 1.8 liters a day. Now, 1.8 to two, it's not much of a difference to me, but let's see what they have to say. Now, the amount of water that's used by our body each day is referred to as our water turnover. We have some interesting phrases in English, and new phrases in 2023. Now, this research team looked at the water turnover for over 5,600 people, and the core survey group was aged between eight and, oh, between eight days and 96 years. Eight days, those are teeny tiny little babies. Well, the participants drank water, and then things were analyzed in scientific ways. Join the group class, read the article, and you can understand this more fully. But what they understood was that participants living in hot countries, athletes, and pregnant women had a high water turnover rate, so they actually need to drink more water. But water turnover isn't just about how much water we should drink daily, because, guess what? Most foods also have water. So, basically, this one-size-fits-all, the same-principle-for-all approach to drinking water, such as two liters per day for everyone, doesn't really work. We should not have this one-size-fits-all approach. We need to understand our bodies, probably the climate in which we live, whether we are male or female, athlete or not, pregnant or not, and this will affect our water turnover, and it will dictate how much of water we need to drink. It's a very interesting study, and in our group classes, we will discuss things like how much water do you drink per day, and how often do you get hydrated. Do you prefer your water to be still or sparkling, Evian or San Pellegrino? Also, bottled water is becoming increasingly expensive, so what are your thoughts on that? And also, what are your favorite non-alcoholic drinks? What about when you hit the gym? What do you drink? And what's the best health advice that you've ever received? For me, it's really everything in moderation, and if you want to discuss this, if you want to know more, then sign up for one of our group classes, where we will explore the concept of whether drinking eight glasses of water a day, whether drinking two liters of water a day, may be too much for you. It's an interesting concept, and in our group classes, we try to examine topics from all angles. You will also learn idioms associated with the topic, so in this case, you might learn water idioms, like in hot water, or idioms associated with health. Not only do you learn idioms, but you use them in breakout rooms with questions that have been created by me, and which include the idiom. We also have fantastic activities, fun activities. Hey, you know what? Why don't you just sign up for a group class and experience the magic for yourself? So, this is our podcast for January 2023, and one of the topics which we will be presenting, exploring, examining, and discussing in January 2023. This topic will be presented three times in January, so sign up today. Thanks for listening to my podcast. Like, subscribe, send us a message, and ciao for now.
