What is the best way to hydrate?

What is the most hydrating thing you can drink? I have had people tell me that just plain water is not a great hydrator because it lacks electrolytes

I have also heard that the sugar in sports drinks also help with hydration somewhat.

Also temperature, would hot drinks work as better hydration than cold beverages? I heard that you digest hotter things more easily

>Doesn't hydrate
You will literally die without water. This place is honestly so fuckin retarded I seriously can't tell troll threads from actual threads anymore

>electrolytes
lol what

>>76357631 (OP)
there are salt mixes that help hydrate you more efficiently than plain water, but it's only worth using them when you are exherting yourself or when you are sweating a fuckton, otherwise just water is perfectly good
>Also temperature
lukewarm to cool (but not icy cold, at least I don't like it but I drink pretty quickly and the temperature shock in my stomach gets unpleasant so YMMV). The hot = better digestion thing is for food and has no bearing on water absorption, but desert people do drink hot tea on hot days for temperature regulation (essentially it just makes you sweat more)

>>76357652
I had a classmate and some friends from pakistan and apparently it's conventional wisdom there that "cold water goes outside the body" and hot water goes "inside the body". Figured it had to do with hydration and not temperature regulation but that makes sense

>>76357631 (OP)
I look like this and drink like this (am white though)

Im seriously sick of pissing every 40 minutes.

Water is for toilettes. Drink Brawndo instead.

Kek good movie

Hydration isn't just the amount of H20 in your system, it's a balance of electrolytes and fluids.
Sugar causes insulin to increase, insulin causes the body to retain electrolytes.

You are correct that water will hydrate you, because most people scarf down hot salty shit constantly, leaving insulin high, storing electrolytes. All they need is water

>>76357642
it's what plants crave

>>76357660
basically since your body is mostly water a single glass of chilled water won't be able to lower your body temperature a significant amount (think of it as putting a spoonful of cold water in a pot of warm water), while pouring it on yourself will have a greater effect thanks to its evaporation taking away a lot more heat (but of course won't provide hydration). Drinking hot water hydrates you (technically a bit less than cold water since it also promotes more sweating) and cools you more through sweat, so it's probably more efficient when water is scarce. If water is abundant pour it cold on yourself for cooling and drink it at whatever temperature you prefer for hydration.

>>76357660
also in Pakistan most water is likely infused with shit and garbage so boiling it before drinking it likely decreases the chances of getting sick, that might be another reason why they generally don't drink it cold there

>>76357631 (OP)
Wait until you're thirsty like genuinely thirsty not just mouth bored. Then drink as much water as you want it'll probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of a 3 cups to a quart. Repeat. Let thirst regulate itself if you're thirsty enough to walk somewhere to get water you're probably fine.

>>76357631 (OP)
Coconut water or raw milk

>>76357639
He's talking about plain water, retard. Read, motherfucker.

Get a 2liter thermos and a sodastream.
Berocca pills and electrolyte powders.

Put the stuff into a glass and pour in some water and let it sit until finished.

Pour it into the thermos along with the rest of the water.
The berocca and powder gives it a bit thicker viscosity and diffuses the sodastream water a bit so it's real nice to drink.

And since it's a 2liter container, you are eventually going to get used to wanting to empty it daily. You know you also have to finish it or else you've wasted your resources.
The extra water you'd need daily is going to be by feel.

>What is the best way to hydrate?

You know Europeans laugh at Americans, with their huge water bottles which they carry around everywhere - even worse most of their bottled water is just filtered tap water.

Just drink when you're thirsty - like we're evolved to do.

dont you have some illegal immigrants you have to deal with in your front lawn?

>>76357895
jokes on you I don't even have a front lawn

>>76357912
In Europe are all the people very happy and doing the dancing ?

Aren't you all technically illegal immigrants?

>>76357639
so humans have been dehydrated for millions of years cuz they only drank water? LOL
retard, you get sodium from food, you dont need extra sodium in your water unless youre fasting

>>76357953
Humans never used to drink water

>>76357959
youre right humans and animals never drank water
its fake cnn propaganda

>>76357966
The fact that that's so unbelievable to you means that you're a little tiny man a shitty human being, a subhuman piece of shit with no brain

>>76357975
I honestly feel sorry for conspiracy tards, they just seem to have a shitty life

>>76357953
the first documented occurrence of somebody drinking water was in the 18th century

>>76357953
what they meant was that water alone can't be a good hydrator because if you only drank water you die (and i don't mean the meme death by drinking 8l of water in a day) but months of fasting with only water, you would die. think about it, you also need fluids from food (vitamin and/or protein induced fluid), else you could never survive (some forms of advanced water can also be found in certain milkshake flavors - you could live months on end of banana milkshakes e..g., but never water - that's important). that's what we mean by properly hydrading

>>76358006
what the fuck are you talking about retard? water is the only thing that CAN hydrate you. other things like soda only hydrate you because it has water inside of it
your body is made out of water
milk isnt fasting its got hundreds of calories and is mostly sugar and fat
coconut water also has calories unlike water

water has minerals, dont tell me you fell for another internet meme diet grift? for fucks sake

>>76357631 (OP)
All important minerals slightly below isotonic concentration (above isotonic gives you kidney stones in the long run), and some sugar to speed up absorbtion. if you want the medical background, look up what they give to people with chronic diarhea or excessive sweating.

>>76357953
Water from a stream or river has more minerals in it than spring water or rain water, and modern bottled water are the latter two. And even if you're not fasting, if you work out, you'll quickly lose more sodium, kalium and magnesium than you get back from food. I know from personal experience that two days of rucking in midsummer's heat are enough to get me cramps all the time on normal food, while eating mostly bananas or drinking electrolyte drinks stops them.

>>76357631 (OP)
Yeah if there's one thing every labor job I've worked has talked about is how important it is to avoid water and drink sugar

>>76358110
>Yeah if there's one thing every labor job I've worked has talked about is how important it is to avoid water and drink sugar

I did a job on SE Asia (>30c 90% humidity) and I used to lose 0.5-1L sweat an hour - piss was brown.
This is dehydration - most of these people have just got a bit sweaty.

I see, you're simply too retarded to understand what territory is.
Congrats on your cuckoldry.

>>76358144
>I see, you're simply too retarded to understand what territory is.
Just admit you massacred and displaced the native population then stole their land - you don't have to be ashamed - but you should be.

>>76358110
>how important it is to avoid water and drink sugar
well that explains all the fat fucks working labor jobs.

>>76357631 (OP)
Here you go, brother. Now you can have as much water as you desire.

I visit his channel every few months out of morbid curiosity to see if hes died from the beetus.

>>76358156
No, the same thing that happened between white settlers and Indians is happening now between Arabs and niggers and Europe, and spics in America.

>>76357631 (OP)
I have had 0 fatigue ever since drinking two glasses of orange juice a day

>>76357631 (OP)
Coconut water or regular water with electrolyte packs like emergenC added to it

>>76357631 (OP)
The best way to hydrate is to drink a glass of water made brackish with baking soda, NoSalt, table salt and epsom salt, followed by a glass of regular water, followed by a glass of 1% milk.

>>76357631 (OP)
Plain water is fine if you also eat food. If you're doing a triathlon or an iron man or some other endurance event that takes multiple hours where you sweat a lot and don't eat add some sugar and electrolytes to your beverage.

>>76357726

>cold water goes outside the body
probably refers to diarrhoea

Do you guys really drink a gallon per day? I'm at 2 or 2.5 lt/day at most and it's summer here

>>76360732
i typically drink 5-8x 16.9oz bottles at work, then anywhere from half a gallon to a gallon at home depending on what's going on that day.

>>76357631 (OP)
For me it's drinking > infusion > enema

>>76357810
>raw milk

the nutritional wisdom of this board has gone down the drain in the past few years. I swear to god more than half of /fit/ gets their dietary advice from youtube shorts by quack doctors or liver king or colorful "infographs" made by /x/ retards.
Like they think fasting for days is a good idea because some snake oil salesman with a deep calm voice told them so, and because it goes against the grain with the normies. Literally falling for a fad like some 50 year old mom busy with her kids.
Not to mention feels so good to achieve nothing in life, and then, with no effort, suddenly be enlightened compared to everyone else. All you have to do is believe a lie.

>>76360740
You must be spending half your day peeing
