Hello, I haven't drunk water since I was little. My mother gave me fresh fruit and steppes because I didn't drink anything else. Now that I'm older, it's even worse. I force myself to drink two glasses of water a week, but my stomach swells and I vomit so much. When I'm out, I drink at most three sips and that's it. In contrast, I drink a lot of milk, tea and juices, but not being able to drink water does not seem normal to me. Are there people with a similar problem?

It is very likely that on a psychological level it is a problem because everything else you say you drink is also mostly water (your tea is 99.9% water). I had a similar one with the milk - somewhere at the age of 4 I had stopped it (so our people told me) and later when I tried to drink milk I vomited it. One day, however, when I was 25, I decided that I should be able to drink milk and little by little I started. Now I drink milk without a problem - sour, fresh, anything. Well, it's probably somehow connected to the water with something dangerous, ugly, unpleasant. I came across an article on the net about how a girl developed a phobia of olives and for many years did not know why (she could not even touch an olive, let alone eat it), but under hypnotic regression they found, that when she was very young she saw a dead relative with open eyes and his pupils looked like olives. Since then, she has made such an association with olives on a subconscious level.
You are used to drinking fresh juices, milk, steppes, soft drinks, juices, etc. and water, you just don't like it. If you drink 2 glasses of juice, your stomach will be just as bloated as after 2 hours. water! There is water in the juice too, in the steppes too, in the tea too! The problem is not that you can not drink, and you do not like you prefer something sweet. Which is your mother's fault for teaching you that from a young age! She stuffed you with juices to drink more and more, and that's how you stopped the water. You drink water again, the tea is 90% water as well as the steppes, etc., but flavored, and you are so used to it! I was used to soft drinks at puberty, and I didn't like water - I was bitter, even though there was a lot of water in them. One day little by little I got used to it - as there is nothing else and very often even, I prefer cold water in the summer days, to the non-alcoholic one, which really swells your stomach and leaves a feeling of thirst because it's sweet. The problem is the habit and the fact that your mother taught you that. You have no other problem! It's funny to say you can't drink water and drink tea that is no different. It's one thing not to want, not to like it - it's another thing not to be able to drink!
I am 30 years old and I had the same problem. You have to take care of that, water is very important for the body and is indispensable. In addition, when you are constant in drinking water, you will see that in a month you will get bored, thirsty and you will get bored of nothing but pure water. If you do not take measures, your skin will not be good, you will retain fluids, you will have cellulite, your hair will break and bloom, see how important water is. Download one drink water app, there are many to remind you and be constant.
Yes! I have the same problem! I think it's on a psychological basis. I can't swallow water, I can't swallow, I'm not thirsty, I'm sick of it, and my mother makes me drink. I don't know why.
I don't drink a lot of water either, but I must point out that with my stagnant life my metabolism is not accelerated and water losses are not great. Another thing I've noticed is that tap water "doesn't work" for me, and if I don't put a soluble vitamin inside, I drink less. Since I bought a jug for water purification, I drink almost twice. Another factor to consider is personal weight. You can't compare water intake between a 90 kg man and a 45 kg woman. If you have heard the norm for a minimum of 2 liters of water per day, this may be a recommended amount for some, but not all, because of differences in bodies, different activity and different environmental conditions. So, if you have the opportunity, first try bottled water or a jug for water purification, because you do not know what impurities tap water has.
If you eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, pots, they also have water. At most 1-2 liters a day is enough, unless you sweat profusely.
I had a similar problem. In fact, it showed up at times, but now after training, running or walking for a long time, I just can't do without water. Try to drink then or every time you get hot and feel incredibly thirsty. Then you can enjoy yourself. At least that's what happened to me. Black Sabbath
Hello. Our body has water reserves in the cavities of our body, in every cell there is endogenous water, which the cell uses when there is a shortage of externally received water, a large amount of water is contained in the body's fat reserves, in 5-7 kg. fat has 1-2 liters. water. Due to which, more and more people (more abroad, but there are several people in Bulgaria) practice the so-called dry fasting (between 3-5 days without water and food), because of the health benefits, but also because the removal of fat tissue is much more than water fasting (drinking water without food, between 3-21 days, maybe 40 days if the disease is treated). There are many cases of people who, due to disasters, did not have access to water, but survived without water for nearly three weeks. Also, Russian scientists have shown through experiments that a person can withstand water for more than 20 days, without endangering his health. In clinical settings, deaths have been shown to occur due to excessive water consumption and stress, but not due to dehydration at rest. Specifically for you, you don't drink water because you drink a lot of other liquids, but they are not good, neither the tea that extracts water from your body, nor the coffee that oxidizes you, nor the artificial pasteurized juices are good. Fruits in which there is water are good, fresh fruit is good. Some Frittarian will say that fruit water is enough and you don't need to drink extra water, but I guess you eat a lot of unnatural food like cooked, from which the water is extracted and the body expends a lot of its energy and water, to process the food ingested, also salty food that dehydrates, also greasy, and processed ... so, for such people you need to take extra water so that you can wash away the toxins from your body, so that you can help your digestive tract to process the food and so that it moves more easily in your intestines so that the excess comes out normally. and not to stagnate and rot, which is the number one cause of disease. Drinking water is also a habit, not just a necessity. Start with the fact that you will drink 1 liter. water with lemon at the beginning of the day before each meal. Your water should be spring or filtered with a filter enriched with magnesium, potassium and sodium. You will also drink half to a liter of water 20 minutes before each meal. if you eat 3 times a day, here are about 3 liters of water. For an active athlete who sweats, 1 liter is needed. water per 10 kg. body weight, for a non-athlete actively need half a liter per 10 kg. body weight, but also depends on the quality of food intake, how much water it contains.
You can try drinking the water slightly warmed, with a little sugar or lemon at the beginning. Maybe he'll take it better. Do you have any stomach problems - returning food after eating or having a sour / bitter taste in your mouth often? At one point, my stomach was irritated and I had the feeling that I had swallowed a ball of lead while drinking water (but with tea, for example, there was no problem, as well as with a little warmer water).
From the author: Thank you for the feedback! I don't drink coffee and the like, I eat healthy, I drink 3 glasses of milk a day and I eat a lot of fruit, just as an active athlete even after a hard workout I don't feel the need for water, but I work on it by forcing myself with a few glasses and I hope to get used to :)
However, you are a rare kind of idiot ... And eating cucumbers every day will not replace water. Get rid of this habit, otherwise at most you will die at 50, what so much ...
Is your mother an idiot? Especially with the steppes, it is the pinnacle of healthy drinking, sublimity and refined taste. Stay one day without drinking anything and you will drink water from a puddle.
Replace milk with water or at least kefir, fresh milk is not useful. Is your stomach regular?
