Why don't you like drinking water?

Everyone needs water every day. A person can survive for seven days without eating and only drinking water, but cannot even survive for three days without drinking water. Therefore, water is important and is the source of life. Although water is important, some people don’t like drinking water. So what is the reason why they don’t like drinking water? Not liking to drink water does not mean that you are not thirsty, it is just a physical problem. If this is the case, it is best to see a Chinese medicine doctor.

Not liking to drink water does not mean that the body is dehydrated! According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, people who don’t like to drink water for a long time actually have poor spleen.

The theory that people should drink 8 glasses of water a day has been disproven. In fact, you should drink water according to your own situation. For example, people who exercise a lot and sweat a lot may need to drink a lot of water. People who sit in the office and don't exercise much don't need to drink too much. Regardless of whether the human body is dehydrated or not, the water we drink should circulate in the body before it can be truly absorbed by the body. People who don’t exercise will drink too much water and will go to the toilet again and again. This is a small cycle. In other words, the water we drink will turn into urine and be excreted from the body after a short while. Only by exercising more can water circulate in the body and be absorbed by the blood. This is the best state.

1. I didn’t develop the habit of drinking water since I was a child

Most children are breastfed from birth, which causes them to dislike drinking water. On the one hand, babies resist bottles and spoons. On the other hand, because breast milk contains a lot of water, children will not feel thirsty after drinking breast milk. Water has no taste compared to breast milk, so children will develop the habit of not drinking water.

2. Children don’t like the taste of water

You may have noticed that children don’t completely dislike drinking water. It mainly depends on what kind of water the child drinks. If you give him drinks, juice, desserts, etc., the child will take the initiative to drink it. If you give the child boiled water or other bland water, the child will resist.

3. The child does not feel thirsty

If a child doesn’t like to drink water, it may be because he or she doesn’t feel thirsty. Some children seldom exercise and do not sweat, so their bodies have plenty of water and they do not want to drink water.

4. Children are afraid of frequent urination

Children don't like to drink water because they may subconsciously worry that drinking too much water will cause them to wet their pants or bed and be blamed by their parents. Some parents will beat and scold their children severely every time they see them wet their pants, so the children feel scared and drink less water.
