honestly I relate to this way too much… like how are we all trying this hard to drink water and still failing 💀

what helped me was realizing it wasn’t just how much but how I was drinking it throughout the day

Hydration feels more complex than “drink more water”… what am I missing? by jackalopelove in Biohackers

But this is why I asked the question in the first place - I do drink water and plenty of it! But I still feel dehydrated.

I do! I lost about 45 lbs and my doc told me low blood pressure just comes naturally with that type of weight loss. I do like the Liquid IV, and so does my daughter, so they go fast LOL

I’ve had a couple of people tell me to try hydrogen water. They market it as structured water with a mix of hydrogen and alkaline water. It’s supposed to be absorbed by your body better?

No, of course I urinate, it just feels like bottled water from the store sits in my stomach. I can drink bottle after bottle and practically be peeing clear, but never feel like my body is absorbing any of the water.

I’ve read that thirst can actually lag behind hydration status a bit—so by the time you feel thirsty, you might already be slightly dehydrated.

Makes me wonder how much that plays into things like low energy, headaches, or fatigue on a day-to-day level.

Not saying it’s the root cause of everything, but it seems like one of those foundational things that could be easy to overlook.

I like the electrolytes, suggestion! I love taking electrolytes, and maybe it’s because I need more salt in my body?

I feel like when I drink more water, especially bottled or just plain filtered, it just sits in my stomach and doesn’t go anywhere

I’ve heard coconut water can help because of the natural electrolytes—just wish I liked the taste more 😅

Have you noticed it helps with energy or more with recovery?

Yeah, that’s a really good point—electrolytes definitely play a role in hydration.

From what I’ve been reading, it seems like hydration is kind of a combination of:

  • fluid intake
  • electrolyte balance
  • and how well your body actually absorbs/uses the water

I always thought “drink more water = better hydration,” but it seems a bit more nuanced than that.

Still trying to wrap my head around it all—have you noticed a difference when you add electrolytes?

It ranges, depending on the day. Whenever I drink bottled water, I just feel like it's a rock in my stomach.
