DRINK MORE WATER!!!
You are on page out of 2 | Reverse Order
Until you go take a nap and wake up having pissed yourself.
Sorry to burst your bubble but drinking too much water flushes essential electrolytes out of your system. The human body really only needs to drink about 64 oz (1900ml) daily. That includes water found in other liquids and in food.
If you're still thirsty, check electrolytes and blood sugar.

It's hard for me to drink lots of water because I have a bladder the size of a walnut 😢
Posted by MissDiamondPosted by sultrykittyI'm pretty sure that OP is not talking about extreme amounts of water. Throwing off electrolyte balance takes a lot of water. Water intoxication is pretty rare unless one has extreme drinking habits.

"It takes about 6 liters of water to kill a 165-pound person, according to a YouTube video recently released by the American Chemistry Society. Surprisingly, death by water, or water intoxication as it’s officially known, happens quite a lot. It’s common among young people who challenge themselves to “water drinking contests,” or athletes who mistakingly over-hydrate while training, Scientific American reported."

A gallon a day is extreme, unless a person is doing high intensity training.
1.5-2 liters a day is plenty to stay hydrated
When I drink the amount that I should, I take my weight (120 lbs) divide by 2 = 60oz daily intake from other food included

When are you fucking idiots going to realize that anecdotal evidence =/= factual information?
I gotta love how the OP thinks she's enlightening people with info she barely understands herself.

Just, don't exaggerate. Even when it comes to watter - to much is bad for you. If you go overboard - it can lower your salt/sodium levels and that's quite dangerous.

Posted by hydorahYES! When I go to restaurants, for example, I just ask for water and I skip the sugary options. That helps me reach my recommended amount.Posted by Koniuchaaif you can't drink more, then try to drink less non water drinks ( juice or soda or whatever) and replace it with water

Posted by AjnaThere are SO MANY out there, so a bit of exploring is great to see which suit your needs and style . ☺️Posted by LillyPetalWhats name of the app?
Thirsty? Then you're dehydrated! Drink more water! ? I have downloaded an app about a month ago to remind me to drink water and to help me keep track of how much water I drink. It's recommended I drink 2,377 mL a day (sometimes I go over.) I feel more energized, I am less hungry (so I actually feel like I'm losing weight), my SKIN! OMG! My skin is GLOWING!
Downside? I relieve myself (practically clear in color) every half an hour or so. That's rough when you're at work and you feel everyone is keeping track of your restroom visits. ?
At first, my skin broke out and looked irritated when I began my water journey, but I think that's because my body was flushing out "toxins." Now, my skin is soft and shiny.
So this is my public service announcement to encourage you all to DRINK MORE WATER! In a world of sugary drinks, coffee, and alcohol- it's so easy to not get enough just-water!
I'm probably going to aim for 3,785 mL (1 gallon) and see how I feel. But for now, I feel FABULOUS! *hair flick*

I chose one called "Plant Nanny" because, honestly, it is very cute. You get to grow plants as you drink water yourself. It's a fun motivator and a great visual to demonstrate how well I'm watering myself.
Posted by aquanibSERIOUSLY
But for real, i like how disconnected we've become. Needing an app to tell you to drink water.
Idiocracy in the making.
I was just telling my coworker that as I shared the app. Typically, I truly DO forget to drink water because (as others have posted) it's just not fun to hydrate with water. I would go an entire day without even drinking 1000mL! That's not NEARLY enough!
I used to say, "if I'm thirsty - then I'll drink," not realizing that if I'm thirsty, then I'm already dehydrated.
The water app is one of the better uses of my cellphone. Sad regarding social commentary? Definitely. True on a practical level? Absolutely.
Posted by EffervescentI totally relate regarding the bathroom use, but I've come to see it as a positive that I'm doing my body wonders by allowing it to flush itself. The looks I get while at work - LOL!
I could drink a bottle of water (like the average size) in like 25 seconds!
But to be honest, I hate drinking water because it makes me pee so much. I know it helps with so much but ugh. I hate peeing so much.
At first, my bladder was so intolerant! I would drink just 250mL and my bladder would be like: "NO. Empty me NAO!"
Posted by rockyroadicecreamMaybe you need to hydrate some more, you seem cranky.
When are you fucking idiots going to realize that anecdotal evidence =/= factual information?
I gotta love how the OP thinks she's enlightening people with info she barely understands herself.
But, seriously, did you notice that I said in my OP that it's recommended that *I* drink 2,377mL? Instead of feeding your ego by trying to put me down, it would have been more useful to ask what that number was based on.
Then, I would have answered you: The app asks you set up a personal profile including your weight and level of activity, and THAT'S what it bases the recommended amount of water on.
See? MUCH MORE useful to other readers and commenters, isn't it?
Posted by tizianiHappy Hydrating!
Nice. I downloaded the app.

It's sad, but life is so busy, that we sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. During finals, I even forget to eat!
Posted by HeavyEntertainmentShowI wake up at least three times a night to use the bathroom! ? ?

Note to self: Make sure future house has a master bedroom has the off bathroom.

Another interesting thing is this:
The times I thought I was hungry, I was actually thirsty! ? That's pretty common among people, as well, hence why I feel like I'm losing some weight.

So, according to the research I have done so far regarding water toxicity - it seems that it's rare, but most importantly it's about drinking TOO MUCH, TOO FAST.
So, for example, drinking 1 gallon IS NOT HARMFUL and it will not alter your electrolytes if you SPREAD THE AMOUNT OF WATER OUT throughout your day. If you gulp 1 gallon in one sitting - THAT is dangerous.
I thought this was really worth mentioning.

Posted by -Flo-Nice!
Go by half of your body weight, if you exercise, it's essential to drink more.
I drink roughly about 70-90oz water a day. If it's been a really good day, 90-100oz.
I'm going to slowly increase my water intake. So far, it's been working wonders.
When I wake up, I've noticed that my face doesn't get puffy and my skin seems tighter and shinier.
I don't forget to drink water if I'm in the office if I have a lot of clients to see for the day I physically can't drink as much because I am on the go all day. But I do try to drink 64 or plus ounces a day. That's a combo of tea without sugar, water and kombucha. I stop drinking at 5 pm so that when I leave work at 6 my bladder is empty. Otherwise my commute home will be hell. Then I'll finish drinking when I get home.
I drink a lot of water! No energy whatsoever...
Once I went to a hospital and they took my urine and doc came back asking what is it? There isn't a urine in this water!
So gallon of water to drink washed my salt to the dangerously low level.
Be careful with your water intake. Plus new studies showing its bull! I am just naturally love water so I don't do it for any reason but love! ?

This is in extreme cases. An old boss of mine drank a lot of water throughout the day (didn't guzzle tons fast) and ended up losing potassium and sodium to the point that her doctor was concerned. She had to go on a very limited liquids order until her electrolytes were balanced. This happened over months.
Bottom line; if your urine is clear, it's a red flag to back off a little. Your urine should be light straw to light yellow in color.
Posted by LillyPetalThanks! I already drink tons of water at work! Average one should go every hour on the hour.

I actually bought myself a tumbler that was 30oz and just did my best to keep it with me daily. My goal was to drink two full tumblers of water. Was doing wonders, tbh. Made it much easier to keep track of it measure wise, too.

I'm living it now, and it's doing me wonders. Again, "drink more water" does not equate to "drink too much water." No one here is going to guzzle 3 gallons or even 2 gallons a day.

Posted by 5TwentyOneYEEEEEESSSSS!
I have been drinking lots of water since my 20's. I'll be 45 in July and I got carded at the grocery store a little earlier for alcohol. True story.
Water is full of miracles.
Forget lotions and potions - hydrate from the inside out!
Posted by sultrykittyNice, that seems to be the averagePosted by LillyPetalPosted by sultrykittyActually, I decided to go on this journey because I felt dehydrated all of the time. My skin was dull, I was cathartic, I had headaches, and I had mood swings. Then it donned on me one day how little water I consumed.Posted by rockyroadicecreamIt's all over the Internet, so it must be true. *rolls eyes*. I drink a lot of water, but I know from experience that at a certain threshold, the more you drink the more thirsty you get, the more dry your mouth gets, etc. So "listening to your body" isn't always the best thing.Posted by sultrykittyI wouldn't waste your time. She thinks she knows everything because of some minimal information she read. I'm glad she wants to help "spread the word" with things like this, but she's doing it wrong.Posted by LillyPetal
So, according to the research I have done so far regarding water toxicity - it seems that it's rare, but most importantly it's about drinking TOO MUCH, TOO FAST.
So, for example, drinking 1 gallon IS NOT HARMFUL and it will not alter your electrolytes if you SPREAD THE AMOUNT OF WATER OUT throughout your day. If you gulp 1 gallon in one sitting - THAT is dangerous.
I thought this was really worth mentioning.
This is in extreme cases. An old boss of mine drank a lot of water throughout the day (didn't guzzle tons fast) and ended up losing potassium and sodium to the point that her doctor was concerned. She had to go on a very limited liquids order until her electrolytes were balanced. This happened over months.
Bottom line; if your urine is clear, it's a red flag to back off a little. Your urine should be light straw to light yellow in color.
Maybe someone else will get the message.
I'm living it now, and it's doing me wonders. Again, "drink more water" does not equate to "drink too much water." No one here is going to guzzle 3 gallons or even 2 gallons a day.
You two are just jumping to conclusions about me, but that's not my problem. Readers here are intelligent and they seem to be responding well to my post. *shrug* I guess they somehow figured out I wasn't advising them to drown themselves. Go figure! Critical thinking skills, eh? 😆

I wonder if there is an app that helps one calculate the amount of water in fruits and veggies. I need to look into it. ?

this thread is great advice with the hordes of thirsty women on dxp
"just drink more water"
Shaddup!
Posted by LillyPetalI think the general agreed estimate is that you get 20% of your total water intake from foods/drinks other than water.Posted by sultrykittyNice, that seems to be the averagePosted by LillyPetalPosted by sultrykittyActually, I decided to go on this journey because I felt dehydrated all of the time.

Do you have gyms there? How do you keep your gyms warm so you can perspire? I'm curious. I believe I couldn't live in a place without a decent gym nearby.
I feel like there's a DXP mafia here. I can sense something. A group of people trying to get me. I'm pretty sure about this. Because Ands used to be nice to me. But then he changed. He became very offensive. For no reason.

What are your thoughts on this saying?
Do you think it's dangerous?
Do you think that it's worse than "love your body no matter what"?
Does the positive body image of overweight people contribute to harmful eating habits much like body shaming
Go ahead. Ask away.

I'm in the small percentage of ppl that don't watch a lot of TV. I have to be extremely interested to stay focused on a show. I've had some favorite shows over the years though. Lately I just watch reality shows like Love & Hip Hop.. it's so entertaining
I honestly don't understand what your problem is with me but it's over
@shadowcat managed to explain some of it but I'm not quite convinced it's the full explanation
anyways this isn't healthy for anyone, especially me so I'll try to end it and this
but it might be.
over the past months i have been observing myself push the limits of the image i have developed of myself on here. and both the community and myself seem to be disappointed with the chaotic, angry, and downright nasty behavior i have bee
I will turn 30 this year.
I hope to look 30ish when I age 45-50. Is that possible?
I miss her!
:(
It seems like everyone in this generation can read minds? Like how is it possible how can any of you be able to read someone's mind especially capricorns. How can people know what your thinking from a far?
I keep wondering reading posts here.
If she is a Virgo and having sex left and right - what does it mean?
Can she be genuinely in love with me?
Like there is a rule - some signs can be sluts and it's ok but others - no no!
When people describe so
I have lost of people in my texting place. But only one of my friends has a grey moon next to her name.
When she replies - it turning into white moon in a blue circle!
What is it and why?

I like this guy :P
I'm a mutt. How bout you?
Downside? I relieve myself (practically clear in color) every half an hour or so. That's rough when you're at work and you feel everyone is keeping track of your restroom visits. ?
At first, my skin broke out and looked irritated when I began my water journey, but I think that's because my body was flushing out "toxins." Now, my skin is soft and shiny.
So this is my public service announcement to encourage you all to DRINK MORE WATER! In a world of sugary drinks, coffee, and alcohol- it's so easy to not get enough just-water!
I'm probably going to aim for 3,785 mL (1 gallon) and see how I feel. But for now, I feel FABULOUS! *hair flick*
