People in our current society tend to drink all day long, thirsty or not thirsty.\u00a0However, when we look at our evolution, we have never done this.\u00a0Our ancestors\u00a0didn\u2019t have a 24\/7 opportunity to have a drink.<\/strong>They only drank when there\u00a0was an opportunity to drink and drank as much as they could until they were completely\u00a0saturated, just as we still see today in wild animals migrating from well to well.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, there were frequent episodes of mild thirst with thus relative dehydration of the body.<\/strong>This maintains our sense of thirst! Thirst has therefore\u00a0throughout evolution created a unique stress response in both animals and humans. Mild\u00a0thirst will increase the hormone Oxytocin, the so-called \u201cbinding hormone\u201d and will also\u00a0decrease the activation of the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) or the so-called\u00a0stress axis and thus the production of cortisol. The neuroendocrine response to mild thirst\u00a0appears to be responsible for reducing restlessness, anxiety and aggressiveness.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Feelings of thirst are controlled from the hypothalamic nuclei that receive their information\u00a0via neuronal pathways over the water and sodium balance of the intra-and extracellular\u00a0environment as well as from the intrathoracic baroreceptors that detect blood volume.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Maintaining and optimizing the thirst sensation is necessary to\u00a0obtain optimal hydration<\/strong>.\u00a0This would encourage weight loss through, among other\u00a0things, optimal mitochondrial metabolism resulting in higher basal metabolism.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Suboptimal water absorption is associated with various health problems such as metabolic\u00a0syndrome, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even cancer. Dehydration activates our\u00a0RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) which simultaneously stimulates our HPA axis\u00a0and thus puts us under stress.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Optimal hydration is orchestrated by different parts of our brain. The\u00a0neuroendocrinological\u00a0pathway of\u00a0feeling thirstyiswell known, but\u00a0how we feel that we are satiated with drinking is less well understood.\u00a0<\/strong>This would involve the amygdala (fear\u00a0center) and prefrontal cortex because \u2018overdrinking\u2019 is a danger to our body and therefore\u00a0stimulates our fear center.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Therefore,\u00a0the saturation point\u00a0is\u00a0reachedwhen it\u00a0starts to bedifficult to swallow whendrinking an amount of fluid (bulk drinking). The advice given is:\u00a0stop drinking if the swallowing effort is three times greater and if swallowing feels very unpleasant.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If people want to learn a natural drinking habit, they should not only drink less throughout\u00a0the day, but especially less frequently so that an optimal thirst reflex is re-established, which\u00a0contributes to an optimal water and electrolyte balance and a weakened stress reaction<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
