You will drink more water if it tastes good. I’m dead serious. Throw some mint in there, throw some lemon or strawberry or a little flavor packet. Your brain likes things that taste good.
You know why people like lemonade? Flavored water
You know why people like tea? Flavored water
You know why people like koolaid? Flavored water
People like flavored water. Brains like flavored water. It’s like being forced to choose between a rock or a rock with glitter on it. You want the glitter rock
I am once again telling you to drink water
And to absolutely FUCK OFF if you’re going to be a dick on this post
It should definetly be noted that if you need a bit of flavor to get you to drink water, that’s totally okay. Do it through whatever means you need. It’s a thousand times better than the alternative of you not getting any form of hydration. Thank u op 🙂
also the purity of water makes a difference. i grew up drinking unfiltered tap water. i’ve hated water my whole life bc of that, and filters were too expensive for my family to afford, so i just avoided water. when i worked in a warehouse i would get super dehydrated because of my avoidance of water, and literally the only thing that would help get me to drink water would be these damn electrolyte flavor packs
and these silly little things literally saved me from dehydration and heat stroke
a few months ago my fiancé found a purification pitcher for $12 and i was skeptical but it changed my entire opinion of water. i was like “if this is water what the FUCK have i been drinking??????” because the water i had before would just taste nasty and leave my mouth somehow dryer than it was before drinking anything???
so yea. water is amazing. flavored water can actually save lives in cases like mine where severe dehydration was inevitable because i couldn’t STAND the taste tap water left on my tongue to save my life. and even cheap purification processing makes a world of difference.
