Some days water is amazing and all I need. Other times I feel like I can’t be satisfied unless it’s juice, or soda … rarely milk. Or even temperature of the water has to be different to be quenching…
What’s the deal?

Purified water does not taste or function the same as water with minerals. For instance, if you’re drinking filtered tap water, it may taste bland. It also isn’t absorbed as well in ways that quench thirst, as opposed to mineral water – water with electrolytes.
If water just isn’t hitting right, I recommend keeping around some decent natural mineral water. Evian, Fiji, and Liquid Death are some widely distributed brands but anything labeled “artesian” or “natural mineral” or “natural spring” will do. I like Liquid Death for a single serving, and jugs of Arrowhead for at home.
If you’re drinking filtered tap water (or bottled “purified” water), try adding electrolyte tabs or powders that are made for athletes, like Nuun or Osmo. They’ll have the right mix of electrolytes that your body can use for optimum hydration.
