Why do our bodies not get thirsty enough to drink the “recommended” amount of water?

936 views

I keep seeing these things about how people should drink 2 liters a day or 3 liters or whatever but if i had to estimate i think i drink about 0.5 to 1 liter a day, i just drink when i feel thirsty and that’s the amount i need to drink in a day to not feel thirsty…

If we only eat when we’re hungry why do we have to drink when we’re not thirsty?

I’ve notice the more water I drink, the more thirsty I am for it. I am pregnant and I need a whole gallon of water a day, according to my OB and the triage doctors at the hospital. Ever since I started drinking as much as I am supposed to, I actually find myself more thirsty. I could easily go over a gallon a day, but I am kinda scared to do that lol.

Of course, there have been days where I don’t end up drinking a gallon because I am busy or what not, and I notice those days are the days I feel less thirsty.
