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.
Hey, you didn’t have to make it personal…
I’ve found that once I increased my salt intake (along with my water intake) my brain fog, dizziness, exhaustion, and pee went away.
Electrolytes, it’s what plants crave!
Your “pee went away”?
Wow seeing that gif was a forcible mental teleportation back into the early 90s.
Okay, slightly exaggerated. More like I stopped peeing as frequently.
Salt causes water retention.
Intake water? Like from the toilet?
Brawndo. It’s got what we crave!
How can you not be getting enough salt?? We don’t need that much and it’s in basically everything
🤷♂️
Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess
yeah, I saw that in an episode of Star Trek.
Mango chili LMNT packet in 40oz of ice water is my go to fav.
LMNT is awesome! Mango chili low key scares me. 😂
But if you drink more water, you also need more salt.
Huh? If you have more salt, you also need more water.
If you give up processed foods you will find that salt is in nothing unless you add it. I eat no processed food and I need to add quite a bit of salt to my food
Consider also reducing your sugar intake!
I really struggle with this one. I love sugary treats. Chocolate, fizzy drinks, etc.
With fizzy drinks I found it very easy to shift towards flavored seltzers instead of it’s the fizz specifically. And if it’s sodas… Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular due to the mix of multiple sweeteners. Totally different from diet sodas which usually just use one or two, usually aspartame which also has a strong aftertaste.
If possible for chocolate, higher quality products often will hit that craving better than the cheap candy bar type stuff with 5x the amount of sugar.
It gets easier if you go 100% cold turkey for a few months; I stopped any kind of refined sugar in like 2016 and now more subtle sweetnesses stand out, and the occasion I eat things like ice cream with chocolate or a glazed jelly donut makes me physically ill.
I was recently given a monster and holy shit people drink that, by choice? Why is there so much??
I was recently given a monster and holy shit people drink that, by choice?
Even more amazing is that people paint the Monster logo (the three claw marks) on their fucking cars. Imagine getting your sense of self-worth from your overpriced energy taurine drink of choice.
I had this too. After a month without sugar, I lost the taste for it. I can do a few spoons of icecream or a tiny bit of cake, but that’s it. I can eat a shit ton of sweet fruit though. I ate 4 mangoes in a day. (Don’t do that.)
You’re not my supervisor!
Don’t do drugs.
- But I like it so much!
Hint: sugar is a drug
TFW experiencing all the symptoms of addiction to sugar: “I must not be drinking enough water 🤔”
No u.
Electrolytes, what’s that?
(To the tune of mxpx’s “responsibility, what’s that?”)
mxpx
Woah, that takes me back
sounds like dehydration
I’ve been preaching this for quite a while now. If I have to post it again, so be it:

I have a crochet toast holding a sign saying “cook the toast, butter the toast, eat the toast, shit the toast. God, life is relentless.”
Same energy lol
You are not drinking more water, the average adult drinks too little, you’re drinking enough.
edit: less -> little
Zu wenig auf Englisch ist too little. Less wäre der Komparativ (weniger)
Danke.
I see coherent and non-aggressive explanations for (proper) grammar usage, ich freue mich. : >
Me before drinking lots of water: depressed
Me after drinking lots of water: depressed, but hydrated
Also, feeling more alert and, therefore, more aware of my depression.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
my dude, i agree, but you’ve been doing that for what, three years? that doesn’t really seem healthy.
You post so many comments like that, sounds like you miss your ex and can’t get over 🥀
Yeah, it’s over hyped.
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.
You should know that almost 100% of people who have started taking dihydrogen monoxide have died and the rest are expected to die.
I like peeing. Feels good man.
Can I see please 🥺👉👈
And just like that you have created an orgy pit. Stop sending all the horny people to the same place!
Wooo! To the orgy pit!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Look up how cells handle oxydation, radicals. More liquid helps.
Btw, the average adult drinks less than recommended.

Their point is that the recommended amount in the US is bollocks
Yeah, that wasn’t clear from their post.
Drinking more water is the most effective way to prevent and manage kidney stones by diluting urine and stopping mineral crystals from clumping together
… Do you guys not enjoy a good piss?
A good piss, sure.
The 4th good piss this morning so, far? No as much. I’m trying to rot my brain here and it’s getting hard to do that when I have to get up and pee every 34 minutes and 23 seconds.
if you dont drink the pee, that’s your problem, like that you just waste the water, you have to put it back
