People Who Drink More Water Tend to Eat Better

Gulping down water all day will have you sprinting to the bathroom, but drinking a lot of water could mean that you are more diet conscious.

In a new study, experts found people, who drank more water, also consume more fiber, avoid sugar, and eat less junk food.

But hang on! Water is not a magic potion. Plenty of people enjoy a tall glass of water with their fried chicken and bacon strips.

Of the 12,000 people studied, individuals drinking more water ate less calorie-dense foods. Stuff like fruits and vegetables are low-calorie.

Scientists say eating fewer calorie-dense foods is a marker of a healthy diet.

But don’t run out and buy a bota bag just yet, researchers insist you should let your thirst dictate how much you drink.

So the “belief” that you should drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day isn’t true.
