Should You Drink a Gallon of Water a Day?

A gallon of water per day is good for us right?

MMMMmmmm. Uhhhhhhhhhh

Now there's this thing called cellular hydration which is the process and efficiency of how water molecules reach our cells and how they get utilized.

So proper cellular hydration is pretty important but it a little more nuanced than just slamming ridiculous amounts of water.

One of the most important things to consider here is that when you consume foods and liquids with minerals in them your cells become much more hydrated.

So you shouldn’t just drink water to drink water. You have to make sure that there are minerals in it, like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium in it.

So for me if you're mineral deficient, drinking beverages like coconut water, watermelon juice, and eating fruit can be incredibly helpful. Also, mineral water works great too.

Dudes voice sounds like he needs to drink some damn water

[JamesGettingFit]

Over thinking this guys… salt and water 👌🏼

[aabbcc]

Great advice! The mineral balance is actually what helps really with proper cell hydration.

[SANJAY-unpc]

I drink when im thirsty. And sometimes pickle juice, lots of fruit and veggies too.

Santa Cruz Medicinal salt based electrolytes are where it’s @. Salt magnesium glycinate and potassium

Ions are essential for hydration. It is why you never drink pure water if you are heat stroked

[shelfcloud]

A majority of the water I drink has coffee in it, does that count? 🤣

[JV-txxw]

Im a human waterfall when it comes to sweat. So input has to match output.
If it's really bad, 2 gallons in a day.

You get minerals from food you eat too, you don’t have to drink special water to absorb it, just make sure you eat food daily… pretty sure everyone does that.

[KOSMOinfinite]

Drink electrolytes and pink/unrefined salt daily first thing in the morning. This makes hydration easier throughout the day as it preps the body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients from water. The salt is the main catalyst for this. You really could get away with just the 1/2 teaspoon of unrefined salt with about 500-700 ml of water.

Just drink out of the tap, when you are thirsty, and when you are eating.

[suzannecarrier]

can you recommend a good brand? thanks!

[StringyStrider]

I was doing a fast and experienced this first hand, I drink so much water my cells ruptured and make me very sick

[DennisSmith-dqiu]

I don’t think I’ve ha a glass of water this year

[Scottlp]

If your urine is near clear is one useful criteria for sufficient hydration.

[Libertea_sipper]

Why is drinking water so fucking complicated now

[redone]

When you overcomplicate drinking water for click traffic 😅😂

[onlymyself]

That one friend when a girl joins the call

What is a great "alternative" to water? Im struggling with OCD (i also got ADHD and autism on the spectrum) and going teough exposure and response prevention treatment. I got a traumatic experience from food/water and lost 35+ pounds... Cant consume more than 6dl water per day and drinking nutritiondrinks that complements real meals.
