I had an awful diet of a coffee in the morning then can upon can of energy drinks. I couldn’t settle if I had less than 8 cans in the fridge. Often having to go to the local late night shop to top up what was already in the fridge. I had been doing this for at least 8 years or so.
However, a water infection last November changed all that. I did some research on my drink choices and decided to change.
I bought a Stanley cup. It is now my best friend. It goes everywhere with me. Although plain water is still a no no. I’m happily getting through 3 - 4 litres of diluted squash every day. No coffee, but an occasional cup of tea, (when I fancy dunking biscuits.) 😝
it was hard at the beginning, I became very poorly and the Dr said the sudden upping of my fluid intake had flushed electrolytes out of my body. Once diagnosed, I started adding some electrolyte tablets. All sorted now.
Some 8 months later, I feel energised, my skin is perfect and very supple. I feel really energised, and my eyes seem to sparkle. No more need for electrolyte tablets for a good while now. All in all one of the best choices I have ever made.
As for people saying it makes them pee more, I found that yes, in the beginning I was constantly in the bathroom. But, over a month or two my body adjusted, and I no longer needed to pee so often. I found i peed a lot more but much less often. So please allow time, your bladder should adjust.
