Some people are ridiculing the EU bureaucrats for stating an obvious fact amongst us healers that bottled water, water alone cannot prevent dehydration. Yup its true. Thank you EU bureaucrats for doing something right. Water ALONE cannot prevent dehydration. Much less ever try to cure dehydration.
How many times I’ve said this in my own blog that raw food, raw fruits, raw meat, raw fat, raw vegetables have better structure and minerals that hydrate people.
In fact when you suffer from dehydration in a hospital, they put an IV on you and it is NOT plain water.
You can also use hydrating “salts” in saches and mix it with water for rehydration.
My entire household including 4 maids (not me and my son who are on raw paleo diet) suffered from massive LBM 2 weeks ago and we are not idiots to depend on plain water.
When my son was dehydrated, in the hospital and the IV was pitiful slow in hydrating him, I gave him a sugar and salt enema that instantly had him hydrated and up in 1 minute.
I avoid drinking plain water. I either drink coconuts, or I squeeze an orange in water, or squeeze a lemon in water and add a touch of honey. Eating a citrus or other hydrating fruit is better than plain water. Juicing vegetables and non-sweet fruits like cucumbers are also refreshing.
