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?
In: Biology
Sometimes we confuse thirst with hunger. We think we’re hungry when we’re actually just dehydrated.
Also, you can ‘get used’ to the feeling of dehydration just because you don’t know what it’s like to be hydrated. i.e. chronic dehydration causes dry skin, sluggishness etc. but you might blame those problems on other factors. Point is that the symptoms of dehydration are more than just thirst.
