    Default Water makes me dry mouthed?

    I'm trying to cut out soda and sugary beverages and right now the only thing I drink is water, soda maybe once a week, and black coffee occasionally. So basically I'm trying to drink more water. I noticed when I switched, no matter how much I drink it just makes me super cotton mouthed. I mean I can down a bottle then start on another one, and I still feel dry mouthed. It's this way with both tap and bottled/purified water. What gives?

    Is it just my body craving more water? Or is it a natural reaction to the new-ness of drinking mostly water?

    I'd suggest that you try unsweetened tea and see if you get the same reaction.

    Try adding a lemon or lime slice to your water. It's just weigh flavor to activate saliva production.

    The same thing happens to me so what I do is add this stuff called emergen-c (a vitamin c supplement that gives you energy and helps your immune system. Also gives the water a nice flavor).

    I think your body is just adpating to the water, since you stopped drinking soda and such. Water is the best for your body, so drink 8 cups and you body will be find within 2 weeks. But if you body is telling you to drink more, then do. Add a lemon slice into the water, make a big jug and add a slice, that could help. I find lemon juice to have different benefits.
