Why do I still feel thirsty after drinking at least 1,5L of water every day?

Because pure water goes straight to kidneys... doesn't go into digestive system... add something to it... i. e. some taste powder sweetened by stevia... it has no calories but stevia is absorbed in the large intestine, so the drink travels through digestive system

[sheikalana]

Is water with lemon slices a good alternative?

[IslaTheWitch]

yep, will work, just be sure you squeeze a bit of juice into the water

[KrakenAttackin]

@islathewitch. Really? I never knew that. So just plain water doesn't hydrate as well as flavored water?

[IslaTheWitch]

@KrakenAttackin it depends on many factors, but there is a reason that if you go to the jungle you bring flavored water...

[KrakenAttackin]

@islathewitch. I had never heard that. In the military we were always just told (ordered) to sit and drink water... pretty much until we puked.

[IslaTheWitch]

@KrakenAttackin lol sorry to hear

drinking pure water works for many people... the rest must add something to the water to make it work for them
Kind of life hack :D

[KrakenAttackin]

@islathewitch. Good to know! I am a seltzer water fiend, I doubt the CO2 helps with absorption.

[IslaTheWitch]

@KrakenAttackin actually it can, CO2 goes for sure to your intestines :D

[KrakenAttackin]

@islathewitch. Excellent! Good to know.

Cause drinking water is basically useless unless you can actually process it. Thing is you generally need to add sugar or salt to the water so your body absorbs it. 1 pinch per 8 oz. If active salt. If resting sugar. Will slightly change the flavor but not much. Try that and let me know. That typically is sufficient to actually cause you to process more of the water and feel less thirsty

[LazyDork]

That's more than I usually drink, but probably still not enough to be healthy. If you still feel thirsty, you likely should drink some more, but it could also be the result of some kind of pathology or there may be other dietary factors. People who have a high sodium intake or who use drugs like lithium salts can feel increased thirst.

That’s not enough water you need to drink 1 gallon of water per day and if you don’t, something can happen because it happened to me when I was throwing up I’m basically just sipping on water then it turned into a blood clot because of it I got dehydrated I had to spend three days in the hospital

[DryGermanGuy]

It's certainly related to your food intake. If I eat nothing, I have to drink around 2,5 liters of mineral water. When I eat enough to get liquid with the food consumption, I drink between 1,5 and 2 liters.

[Lynx122]

1.5 liters isn't that much, you can double that.

[sheikalana]

And then I wouldn't leave the bathroom LOL. I already go to the bathroom every 15 min for drinking this amount of water throughout the day.

[The_Sexpert]

1.5L a day is not sufficient.. especially if you're physically active

[exitseven]

1 5 liter may not be enough depending on your expertise level. Or umyou maybe diabetic

[DrPepper12]

My first thought is diabetes but you don't list other symptoms

[jahaims]

That is about half of what you should intake daily

[sheikalana]

Everyone keeps saying that but how to people have the time to drink that much water. I drink at least 1,5L per day and I use the bathroom literally every 15 min.

[Anonymous]

You sure you ain’t thirsty for smth else

[slatyb]

See a physician.

[Charliefretz329]

Possibly diabetities
