Water

[DJerba]

I'm trying to make a point of drinking more wateer but it seems to be the case that the more water i drink the more thirsty I get. Someone in the office has just mentioned that humans dont absorb water that well something to do with isonic...at least thats what it sounded like.

Question - what can I put in water to help me absorb it better and stop me from being so thirsty?

TIA

I've always wondered why squash quenches your thirst but water doesnt

[4getmenot]

Can you not just add squash?

[fine,thanks]

if you are constantly thirsty, arrange a urine test

[DJerba]

Well I could add squash but I dont really like it plus I'm trying to cut out unecessary sugars.

Fine thanks - i might consider that its only been the past couple of days but it'[s making me eat more.

Hmmmmm

I agree with fine,thanks.
Might be an idea to see your GP if you are always thirsty.

use isotonic drinks like the cyclists in the tour de france .

minus the performance enhancing drugs of course : - )

[DJerba]

lol.

What are these isotonic drinks and where can I get them from?

Is there anything like a powder substance i can add to water?

Someone in the office suggested salt

[4getmenot]

same here Squash does have alot of sugar in, I've been trying to drink alot of water through day but always forget to.

[fine,thanks]

salt ? nooooooooooooo.

[4getmenot]

has anyone seen that fibre stuff you put in water, advert say makes you feel lighter. It sounds hideous

[DJerba]

no?

Ok then should I try holland and barrett at lunch do you think?

[4getmenot]

yer they should be able to tell you in there. :-) give it a go

[DJerba]

Ok I'll attempt it and let you know what they come up with

:o )

Think the drink that legend mentioned is Gatorade.
I don't know if you can buy it in this country.
Probably someone else on herecan advise.

[redcrx]

lucozade make isotonic drinks

[Psychick]

Gatorade is pretty much the same as lucozade if thats any help?

Slap the person who suggested salt! lol I always thought too much salt causes dehydration?

[aka pixi]

Could it be that you are feeling more thirsty as water doesnt refresh you as much as say a cup of tea or coffee would?

A few years ago I only worked weekends and all week I drank loads of water and constantly wanted more yet at weekends I had 3 cups of tea in 8 and half hours and I was fine.

[wizard69]

I bought some powdered water...but dont know what to mix it with !
