do people like, not get thirsty? it boggles my mind how you can not drink enough water, we have a built in system to recognize when we need water..

So as someone who doesn't get thirsty and actively has to be reminded to drink water, here's my theory.

  1. The temperature of the water matters just enough that it changes if I want to drink it, but not so much that I'm willing to make a specific temperature of water. E.g. cold drink on a cold day? No thanks, but I'm not heating up some water for a glass that's right.
  2. I eat a lot of juicy foods like fruit and some meats. Even some foods with sauces. I eat a good amount of my hydration
  3. Water doesn't taste good and has a distinct lack of texture that I just don't jive with
  4. I HATE having to go pee too often. If I could never go to the bathroom that is what I would choose. So I may have unintentionally found a rhythm that keeps me relatively hydrated (I don't get thirsty and my lips aren't usually dry or anything).

That said, I have recently started making fruit juice that is like 80% water and 20% whole fruit and its helped my bowel movements a lot.
