I already drink 3L a day, should I up it more? Saw some studies say 3.7 is perfect but you get some water from food so 3L is a good goal. Also give some foods with potassium and what to avoid?fat distribution, eat less sodium, eat more potassium and drink more water
Nigga cant decide if he is low bf or not

turbo baseddrinking water is a meme. ray peat advocates against the consumption of excessive water. Insted you should drink based on thirst. There has been a thread on this forum about how one guy got erectile disfunction after consuming too much water. When you consume excessive water your body is telling you that you are consuming too much by making the water uncomfortable and hard to drink but yet retards on this forum push through to “debloat”.
here is ray peats article on the dargers of consuming too much water : https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/water.shtml. Thesse are some negatives of water overconsumption
- Dilution of electrolytes: Peat argues that drinking excessive water can dilute the body's electrolyte balance, potentially leading to imbalances in sodium, potassium, and other essential electrolytes.
- Reduced metabolic efficiency: Consuming too much water may lower metabolic efficiency by affecting thyroid function and reducing body temperature. This, in turn, may impact overall health.
- Kidney stress: According to Peat, overhydration can place undue stress on the kidneys as they work to filter and excrete excess water and electrolytes.
- Suppression of thirst signals: Drinking too much water may lead to a suppression of natural thirst signals, which could disrupt the body's ability to regulate fluid intake effectively.
- Potential for hyponatremia: Excessive water consumption, especially without adequate electrolyte intake, may increase the risk of hyponatremia, a condition characterized by dangerously low sodium levels in the blood.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO INSTED?
- Consume nutrients that will help you de-bloat : potassium, magnesium, calcium.
- Higher Dopamine = Less water retention
- Higher thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) = Less water retention
- higher estrogen, cortisol, prolactin = MORE water retention
- Higher androgens (T & DHT) = less water retention
