32°C – and Not Thirsty?

WHY YOUR BODY MIGHT BE RIGHT

It’s summer. The sun is blazing, the thermometer reads over 90°F (32°C) – and yet, you’re not thirsty? Strange, right? We all know how important it is to stay hydrated. And still, sometimes we simply don’t feel like drinking. Maybe that’s not negligence at all – but rather a smart signal from your body.

Because: Not all water is living water.

The water that comes out of our taps is often filled with residues: chemical particles from agriculture and industry, micro- and nanoplastics, medications, hormones from livestock – even traces from human pharmaceuticals. Tap water – and most bottled water – is essentially “dead.” And our bodies, so sensitive and wise, can sense that. No wonder they don’t crave this kind of water. No Thirst?

Hot Days and Still No Urge to Drink?

What if there were a natural alternative – a way to hydrate that our bodies actually love?

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: HYDRATION IN ITS MOST LIVING FORM

Fruits are far more than just sweet snacks. They are complex masterpieces of nature – packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytonutrients, and most importantly: structured cellular water. This type of water is alive, harmoniously embedded in a matrix of nutrients, energy – and perhaps even information we don’t yet have words for. Fruits don’t just give us water – they give us life. Unlike artificially enriched supplements, fruits deliver a holistic package that our bodies easily recognize, absorb, and utilize. Yes, fruits contain sugar – but not the isolated, refined kind. Their natural sugar is balanced by fiber and nutrients that support, rather than stress, your metabolism.

NOT CRAVING WATER? MAYBE YOU NEED FRUIT.

If you feel like you should be drinking water but just aren’t thirsty – reach for a juicy melon, a handful of berries, or a perfectly ripe peach. Your body knows what it needs. And sometimes, it’s not just H₂O – it’s the whole spectrum of nature. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should stop drinking water. On the contrary – water is essential. But when you do drink it, pay attention to its quality. Soft, purified, and ideally revitalized water is perceived very differently by the body – it often starts craving it.

BUT WHAT IF YOU STILL DON’T FEEL THIRSTY – EVEN WITH GOOD WATER?

Even if your water is clean, filtered, and perhaps even energized, you still might not feel thirsty. In that case, try giving your body a gentle nudge:

  • Add a splash of fresh lemon – it’s refreshing, rich in vitamins, and stimulates digestion.

  • A tiny pinch of natural salt (like crystal or rock salt) adds minerals and structure, improving cellular absorption.

  • Fresh herbs like mint, basil, or lemon balm can energize and enliven the water.

This way, your water gains “character” again – and your body receives just the right impulses to gently remind it of the importance of hydration.

Trust your body. Trust nature. And don’t fear fruit – it’s not your enemy, but a gift.

Let this summer be not just hot, but alive – with living water, vibrant food, and a new awareness of what your body is really trying to tell you.

Let me know how you personally relate to thirst and hydration – I’d love to hear from you!
