The way my doctor described it to me once was, you know how you have a super dry potted plant and then you water it, and then the water just goes straight through and comes out the bottom holes of the pot it's planted in? Well, that's what my doctor says happens when you are dehydrated. He says you can pour in all the water or liquid you want, but it will just flow through and not get into your cells, like the water not penetrating the super dry soil. His suggestion was to try to get my water or liquid through foods instead, foods like fruits and vegetables. Or to not drink water, but to drink things that contain water, things with a substance, so that they need time to digest. He said that the time to digest the matter in the liquid, or the liquid from the veggies is the time a dehydrated body needs to actually absorb some of that water. So, I don't know if you are dehydrated or not, or if your water is helping you, or not. But, I just wanted to share what my doctor shared with me.
