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

944 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?

1) Are you getting the recommended amount of physical activity? Working up a regular sweat, getting in your 10,000 steps, are all going to take water.

2) Do you eat foods with fairly high water content? If your favourite foods are watermelon, soup, and grapes I’m betting you get a fair amount of water that way.

3) Do you live in the average climate? Perhaps you live somewhere cooler and damper where your body isn’t going to have as much water sucked out if it by the air.
