Food & Drink Should one drink water even when they don't feel thirsty?

[Trush Jodie]

Feeling thirsty is an indication that a person's body is dehydrated and needs some water at that point.


The big question now is if a person should drink water even when they are not thirsty? Can one just set a time and drink water even when they don't feel thirsty? Is that healthy?

The doctors said yes. Because even you feel not thirsty due to cold weather but your body needs water in between.

I unfortunately don't schedule drinking od water. I only get to drink water when I feel thirsty. I make sure that I have enough water at a blow that would take me for a very long time.

I have got a habit of sipping water at regular intervals. I make sure that I drink 3_4 litres of water in the whole day. In fact, doctors also suggest the same. If you feel thirsty then it means that you have kept your body deprived of hydration for a while. Sipping/drinking little water at regular intervals is a healthier practice than gulping it once when you feel thirsty.
