We have genes that help regulate the use of water in our system. These genes can turn on and off depending on our environment and the availability of water. If you feel the urge to drink over a gallon of water, more power to you, but most of us really don't need that much water. Also, if your pee is consistently clear, you're probably drinking way more water than your system needs. You may also need to consume more salt and glucose so your body retains more of the water you're consuming. Due to osmotic pressure, your cells can't actually absorb water without the correct salt and glucose to help act as a transport. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11193601 |
