Intermittent Water Drinking: DON'T Drink Until Thirsty

Intermittent Water Drinking: DON'T Drink Until Thirsty

Is it healthy to drink water all day long? Let’s talk about it.


Yes, we need water—I’m not against drinking water. But I think we need to rethink the concept of sipping on something constantly.


An interesting research paper suggests that thirst triggers oxytocin, the trust and love hormone. This is also a powerful stress-reducing hormone.


If you drink something all day long, you may not trigger oxytocin as much as if you waited until your body gave you signals of thirst.


We know the importance of eating intermittently, but what about drinking intermittently? We don’t want to reduce the quantity of water we drink, but what if we decrease the frequency we drink?


Drinking too much water can dilute your stomach acid and affect your digestion. It can also flush out electrolytes and lead to low sodium levels.


A sodium deficiency may cause fatigue, weakness, an increase in adrenaline, and many other health concerns. You need a combination of water and sodium in your diet to really hydrate your body.


I think we need to ask ourselves more often whether we’re actually thirsty or not. You may even find your stress goes down a bit if you don’t over-hydrate.
