Current Events > I never realized how dehydrated i was in my life lol

(+) Yeah! (+)

I bought one of those all-day water bottles. After drinking that for a few weeks I started feeling way fucking better. My anxiety has gotten better and my heart rate has lowered.

I don't feel as "hungry" which was thirst masquerading as hunger.

Thanks for that hydration reminder!

Link to all-day water bottle? I need to improve my hydration but am always lazy to refill my glass/bottle.

Thanks for the reminder to fill my bottle

I'm considering getting a (cheap-ass) water dispenser for next to my PC so that water becomes far more convenient to access than less-healthy drinks, which will likely mean I drink far more of it.

---

I wish I could hydrate more but if I overdo it, then I have to pee so much and its annoying.

---

you should not be pissing fanta, but chugging liter after liter of water has no particular health benefits either

I too am a thirsty boi

---

Yeah water good

Takes a load off of your kidneys. Considering how much non-water liquids people drink, consuming water instead is almost universally better.

Yeah but some people think you need like gallons a day and force water down their throats needlessly. You pretty much just need enough to have light yellow to clear pee at a regular rate.

Well which is better, gallons a day or a half a cup of water each day

For real. About five years ago I got a bad case of influenza, and because I was a stupid turd who wouldn't drink straight water 9 times out of 10, I got a dehydration headache that was so bad that I became hypersensitive to light and sound. If a light was too bright, or if a sound was too loud, it would feel like someone was trying to cut through my skull from the inside out. I would trail off into gibberish and then go completely nonverbal if one of these pangs hit while I was talking, I didn't have the capacity to talk and cope with the pain at the same time - and while the flu was responsible for getting me into this state, what it did was dehydrate me to that point where I couldn't function on a basic human level.

They put me on a saline drip up at the hospital, and over the course of that weekend I must have drank my weight's worth of water. I can't exaggerate how painful that headache was - it was the worst pain I've felt in my life. And the sheer relief of getting rid of those headaches by drinking all that water is impossible to describe. I felt like a new person.

All of that was preamble, by the way.

What I wanted to say was that once I got out of hospital, it took me a week or two to go out of my way and keep consuming straight water. The taps at my place were old, and I was a paranoid shit who was worried about old pipe fixings leeching lead into the water. So I began buying bottled water.

The first time I drank a 1.5 litre bottle of water, I swear to god it felt like it flowed right through me and rehydrated a turd I had waiting. Drinking all that water at once led to probably the healthiest feeling shit I've ever done in my life - just a total cleanse from the inside out, like a helicopter dropping a ton of water out if a bucket onto a wildfire. Shit was fucking awesome.

So the moral of the story is:

Drink more water, because you'll have less chance of dying and your shits will feel amazing.

I dont drink as much as I should. I should start working on that today.

I drink a gallon a day at work. Back when i first gave up soda and all that, i could drink 3 gallons a day and still be thirsty. I had to balance it out with powerade so i wouldnt die from overhydration

If your diet is ok then half cup instead of gallons. You get water from food too.
