What really happened when I drunk 2.5 litres of water for a month!

clean clear cold drink

I never liked drinking water because I am not fond of its taste or texture. I normally drink around one glass a day due to thirst and sometimes even less.

According to the Eatwell Guide, the recommended intake of fluids is 6 to 8 glasses a day. Water, lower-fat milk and lower or sugar-free beverages, including tea and coffee all count.

I used a BMI Check online calculator to determine daily amount of just water I should be drinking. A female of my age and build should drink around 2.5L a day.

My findings concluded that increased hydration did not noticeably better my health. Despite that I will continue drinking a bottle daily to tackle my need for afternoon naps. More on that and my other findings following completion of this 30 day challenge are set out below.

Week 1

In readiness for the challenge I already purchased a ‘Hydrate’ water bottle from Amazon click here. It was a good 900ML in size with a built-in straw. Although I did have to re-fill it 3 times a day, it was light enough to carry with me anywhere I went.

In the first few days it was very hard to drink 2.5L of water a day. I felt like I was drowning myself in water. I did not understand how people drink this much a day. No matter how much I drunk, it felt like it was never ending.

Week 2

By this time, I got used to such high intake of water. It was not so torturous as it first seemed anymore.

I always suffered with dry lips and I heard that increased hydration could tackle this problem. I did start to notice that my lips became much smoother than they ever were.

Another change I noticed was that I did not feel drowsy after eating lunch anymore. Normally I always felt like having an afternoon nap, however, not resorted to one since starting the challenge.

Week 3

During the third week my lips started to get dry again. Which is a shame as I really thought that staying well hydrated would have solved this issue.

I started to notice that as I had a set amount of water to drink per day, I did not feel like drinking unhealthy soft drinks anymore. I used to always reach out for them but clearly now water was taking up all my inner liquid space.

Week 4

Interestingly, I always heard that water intake improves acne prone skin. So, I was determined to see if the increased intake would have any effect on mine, as I always suffered from acne. However, during this challenge I have not seen any changes to my skin.

Towards the end of the 30 days it again started to feel difficult to drink 2.5L daily. I think at this stage I got fed up with drinking so much water. I yet again started to reach out for sugary drinks.

  31. I tested so many apps over the years and this one actually made me stick around. The bonus terms are written like a normal human being wrote them and the withdrawal queue is always moving. It feels great to play somewhere that respects your time and your money. Definitely my new daily stop. bdkrikya11
