How to Stop Being Thirsty

Drinking plenty of water, juice, tea and other refreshing beverages is usually enough to keep thirst at bay. However, you can feel thirsty if you don't get adequate amounts of fluid and if your body loses water too quickly. Water makes up 60 percent of your body and it is needed for every vital function and process. The MayoClinic.com recommends that adults drink at least 9 to 13 cups of fluids a day. Not drinking enough water and other liquids can lead to dehydration, fatigue, dizziness and low energy. Feeling excessively thirsty can also be a sign of illness or disease, which should be diagnosed by your family doctor.
