It seems like a lot of "health problems" that normies have is really just caused by dehydration. They feel like shit then drink a coffee, tea, or Coke and get even more dehydrated so it gets worse.

Ugh I try all the damn time to get my friends to drink water. One of them "doesn't like the taste" and the other just prefers not to. I drink it at every opportunity. For one, it's cheaper when you go out to eat since it's, you know, FREE. There's nothing that tastes better than a fresh glass when you're thirsty or dehydrated or it's hot out. The friend that doesn't like it is constantly complaining about migraines and not feeling good and how much weight she's gained and I'm just baffled. Like, drink some fucking water! Damn!

Getting one of those reusable plastic cups with the straws was the best thing for my water drinking habits lol. I realized I just like to drink out of straws more, so I'm more likely to regularly drink water if I have my water cup, plus if I have to drink tap water and its funky taste I can just put the straw farther in my mouth so I don't have it running over as much of my tongue lol.

I use a 500 ml chillys water bottle because as I feel secure that I won't drop it while holding it along with the fact it had various colours, prints or even matte options for the bottle.

for some reason I grew up only drinking water, I guess it was a weird senses thing I had. i will not drink any soda when offered when I’m thirsty but i understand how appealing it looks. now I only drink coffee, tea and ice cold water.

Reminder this "remember to drink X litres of water a day for your health!" is entirely an American thing to sell you bottled water, which would only work in a country where the tap water tastes like shit.

that meme is because there was a study that shows that coffee makes people need to pee more, but it hasn't been shown to actually "dehydrate" the body any more than drinking a liter of water and then needing to pee more "dehydrates" the body. it's not like coffee is a sponge that soaks up the water in your body but the way the phrase "coffee dehydrates you" is constructed makes people assume it's that way.

I mean a lot of people don't get enough water every day and could drink more, but you definitely don't need as much as people act like you do. I've heard weight loss advice that says drink more than a gallon of water a day and honestly that's not gonna do anything. Supposedly drinking a lot of water can curb hunger but it's never done that for me.

I almost exclusively drink tap water. Sometimes my hot water comes out brown (I don't drink that obviously and who drinks hot tap water anyway) but the cold water is usually fine. Even clear tap water tastes weird and chemical to me though especially if I'm not drinking it directly from the sink using my hands as a cup. For some reason putting tap water in a glass makes it taste worse. Reusing disposable water bottles definitely seems to impart a chemical flavor as well. Am I going to get cancer from this? Should I invest in one of those Brita things that go on the faucet so I can continue drinking from the sink like an animal? Right now I'm basically drinking pool water out of a smartwater bottle that has been sitting in the sunlight all day and I think this is going to end up killing me.

Recycling is still bad for the environment tbh. It takes a lot of energy/resources to make the plastic in the first place and then a ton of water and energy to recycle it, and even then plastic can only be recycled once or twice before going to a landfill. Sometimes it can't even be recycled once.

>The acid in lemon juice can damage the enamel of your teeth. Enamel is the protective covering that defends your teeth against all sorts of things. When it becomes eroded, it can leave your teeth at risk for cavities and other damage. Weakened enamel is also a leading cause of tooth sensitivity. Fortunately, enamel is one of the most durable substances in the body, and it takes a lot to damage it. While lemon juice has an extremely high acid content—higher than soda, wine, coffee, tea, or even vinegar—you’d need to consume high concentrations of lemon juice over a prolonged period of time to do much damage to your enamel.

many natural?/normal urges can easily be lost if you learn to ignore them. eventually your body will just stop sending you the signals to do things you arent doing. some people forget about things like drinking water during their routines, so their bodies will just learn to regulate function with less fluid intake even if it impaires function of other parts of the body. most people genuinely dont realize theyre even dehydrated. or theyre subbing what should be water with other small beverage intakes and equating all fluid intake= hydration
