How can I stay hydrated?

Question

So I've been drinking water since I was like 8. It's the only thing that I drink, not for health but just because I think water taste awesome. Anywho, lately I've been getting dehydrated a lot more quickly. Although I only drink water I hardly ever drink because I hardly get thirsty. I literally only take like 3 sips of water a day, SERIOUSLY, not exaggerating guys. It takes me about 3 days to finish 1 bottle of water. I don't have drinks with my meals or anything. I'm just never thirsty. I pee normally and all of that jazz but I just don't get thirsty like that. But I've been dehydrated a lot lately. I live in the South & this summer I had a blackout on a really hot day due to me being dehydrated and right after it happened people kept telling me that I was dehydrated and kept telling me that I have to drink lots & lots of fluid and I was like "but whyyyyyy? I'm not thirsty!" So I have a huge problem with not drinking enough but that's because my body doesn't remind me to so I usually go 6-7 hours without having any fluids but I know that's not okay. So how come I'm never thirsty & how can I start reminding myself to drink throughout the day?

Answer

i would start setting alarms on my phone to drink a glass of water every hour or so. you should be drinking about 6-8 8oz glasses of water a day. an 8oz glass is a small glass or a half a average sized water bottle. even though you arent necessarily feeling thirsty doesnt mean your body isnt in need of hydration. remember, by the time you feel thirsty, it is too late! keep a water bottle on you and take more than just sips throughout the day.

Answer

Yeah, my boyfriend doesn't get thirsty, either. And I usually don't notice that I'm thirsty. What I do is try to take a sip of water every time I notice my water bottle and take a sip between each bite of food. I don't always manage that, but I try.

Answer

Carry a LARGE water bottle with you at all times. In the morning as soon as you wake up drink a glass of water. If you feel hungry drink a glass of water and wait 20 minutes and then eat. 20 minutes after you’ve eaten have another drink. This will not only help with water consumption but also helps your food to digest properly :)

Answer

also you pee should be clear to light yellow (color of lemonade) if your pee is darker (like color of apple juice) you haven't been drinking enough water. lastly you should be peeing about every 2 hours about if not you need more water.

Answer

take your weight (in pounds) divide it by 2 and that's how many ounces you should be drinking in a day (8oz equals 1 cup, so you can take the amount of ounces and divide it by 8 to get the amount of cups of water you need to drink in 1 day)

Answer

There is an app.. what I do or try to is to drink the whole bottle when I open it.. I do get thirsty though so I will drink like four bottles a day.. but like I said there are apps to remind you to drink water, you just have to follow them
