  It wouldn’t be surprising if a person who was drinking too little water was also getting too little sleep and too little exercise, so they could have multiple sources for the same symptoms.

  I think with a lot of these health trends, it doesn’t take account for the fact that humans are animals.

  Animals can’t always guarantee they’ll get enough water, or enough food, or the right kinds of food. Bodies aren’t like a machine that requires specifically calibrated amounts of inputs. Instead if you drink too much you’ll pee out more. If you drink too little your pee will be more concentrated so your body retains more liquid. If you get more nutrients than you need, the extra will be eliminated.

  It’s probably true that with many things (except calories) it’s better to get a bit too much rather than too little. Maybe it’s true that for water it’s better to get nearly the maximum rather than slightly more than the midpoint amount. But, it seems unlikely to me.

  • At best, if it as as good as it’s said, it helps your liver, kidneys and bladder by getting rid of noxious substances faster and at lower concentration levels.
  • As worst, if it has no benefits at all, you piss more often.

  Unlike most “health” trends out there “drink more water” will be very good in the mid and long term if it works and only mildy inconvenient if it doesn’t, so logically it seems worth trying unless you’re in the kind of situation where taking a piss is somehow dangerous.

  IMHO, people going for “convenience today” above all else is behind most of the shitty trends in most present day societies, and I don’t just mean it in health terms.

    I am one of the OG hydro homies and it legit changed my life drinking more water. Skin cleared up (acne wasn’t terrible, but there was almost always some blemish), lost weight (less soda, less hunger in general), reduced stomach issues (helped with getting regular and not binging, just better general gut feeling), no more UTI’s.

    I also get to pee like 4 times throughout the day at work which just helps break up the day.

      Salt causes water retention.

    How can you not be getting enough salt?? We don’t need that much and it’s in basically everything

      But if you drink more water, you also need more salt.

      Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

  Unless you are dehydrated drinking more water is of minimal benefit. Unless you’re replacing other unhealthy drinks with water, but that’s got little to do with the water.

    It does seem like the “drink more water” propaganda which has gripped the US for many years now, has been an extremely succesful campaign for getting more Americans to lessen their sugary drink intake in favour of water. That is objectively a good thing.

    The downside is all the Americans preaching to everyone else in the world on the internet about it, even though most of us already didn’t drink excessive amounts of sugary drinks.

  I’m so tired of peeing. I drink the water I apparently need to survive. Then I have to go put the water somewhere else 5 minutes later. I drink water, I wash my hands, I leave, then I need to drink MORE water. Guess where that water ends up? Not in me! I give the water to my body and then like a child it tosses it out and demands more. All hours of the day and all hours of the night no matter what I am doing my life is interrupted by piss and this bullshit.

  • gesshoku@lemmy.zip ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I have days where I am also a slave to this dreaded cycle… As others have stated: adding a bit of salt/electrolytes can help. It does for me. And apart from having to pee less, I reckon it is a good idea anyway, because drinking + peeing very much will likely have a negative effect on one’s mineral levels.

    Excessive thirst/urination can be a symptom of diabetes. And I am sure there are other ailments related to it, so maybe next time you visit your doctor you might want to mention it. Hope you can get it figured out!
