Hello user82919273, 👋

Is only drinking if you have thirst, unhealthy?

You can only thirst if you already

is dehydrated or there is an exsiccosis.

Look here:

https://www.springermedizin.de/emedpedia/detail/dgim-inner-medizin/geriatrische-syndrome-exsikkose-dehydratation?epediaDoi=10.1007%2F978-3-642-54676-1_451

With thirst, the body calls:

“Hey, I have too little liquid… 😩

… drink quickly what …give me liquid!💦

If you drink continuously & adequately,

you don’t get thirsty at all.

There is also a very strong,

indelible! Durst ==> Polydipsie.

That’s the worst, most terrible thirst,

which I have ever experienced in 2006…😫 That’s

with very strong thirst – without oversugar –

not comparable. Polydipsie is one of the

most typical overseas symptoms 😩

with polyurie (BZ > 180-200 mg/dl)

Diabetes mellitus = “Honey sweet flow”

You hardly believe it. In a healthy person, the warning system is perfect. It reports if you have thirst or hunger, pain stands for physical problems etc.

So you can rely fully on the body and then drink when you get thirsty. Too much liquid can even cause valuable substances to be washed out.

For seniors it may be that this control system no longer works properly. You should get a drink.

Frequently yes, very many people, especially older people, have only a reduced thirst sensation and therefore often drink significantly too little!

This often leads to relevant exsiccosis, especially in the warm season.

Not necessarily, but you can have less thirst than the body needs liquid, then it is unhealthy. Is often the case with old people.

As long as you drank enough at the end of the day, and you don’t have a massive thirst feeling because of diabetes and drink too much, that’s all right.

If the feeling of thirst no longer fits your needs, it would be unhealthy.
