Are you drinking plenty of water but still feeling thirsty or bloated? This clip explores why hydration is not just about plain water, especially for women approaching perimenopause and menopause. Stacy Sims breaks down how the body absorbs fluids as a sodium and glucose solution, why liters of plain water can get peed out without improving hydration, and how that can blunt thirst cues until you finally sit down and drink too much at once. She also explains gut β€œpressure” and bloating, why adding a small pinch of salt to water can help, and how watery fruits and vegetables contribute to daily hydration.
