My body only tells me I am thirsty when I am already dehydrated.
I'd go to the toilet, notice my urine is dark from dehydration, go on with my day and then only later get thirsty.
Now that I force myself to bring a big water bottle at work and finish it before going home, I never feel thirst.
It probably depends on your body's quirks but telling people to drink only when feeling thirst and not before seems dangerous to me.
- goda90 7y agoKeep a water bottle at your desk. You might find yourself mindlessly drinking from it more than you'd expect, whereas if you had to go someplace to get water, you might be more inclined to ignore the thirst.
- Raphmedia 7y agoAs said above, that's what I do. I drink it through the day but that's a conscious choice and not something my body tells me to. If I waited to be thirsty, I would only drink before bed.
