Hmmm... If I already have a water bottle with me (which with this, I would have) - then will having something that glows really make me drink that much more? I'm skeptical.
I find having a water bottle with me is enough to drink more.
Keen to hear the story here
@bentossell Hi Ben, great question. Our qualitative research has shown that people even though have a bottle or a glass full of water in front of them, they still forget to drink – I was one among them. It sounds silly to someone who already drinks water regularly – I completely agree, but as silly as it sounds people while busy and into our tasks just forget to pick up the bottle in front of our noses. This is why we need a reminder, one that catches our eye and then we do it – at least more often.
@cicagajic@bentossell Very true. I can't tell you how many times I've seen or had random half filled Poland Spring bottles around because I forgot to finish them.
so nature tells us to drink water when we're thirsty, why would i drink water when I am not thirsty? is my body stupid? Im trying to understand why i should drink more than what my body requests
@orliesaurus thank you for opening this discussion. It is true, that our body should remind us to drink water, however of you neglect these calls of nature for a longer period, than our system adapts and lives with less then needed but it soon starts to show the need for water thorugh other symptoms like headache, bad mood, no energy etc. I personally am great example of how someone can go on without drinking one glass of water a day (was more into sweet beverages). In this case it is good to start drinking more water intentionally. Luckily our bodies adapt quickly so in some time it will again start to remind you to drink water with the simple 'I am thirsty sign'.
