How Long Does it Take to Rehydrate Your Body?

The fine balance of liquids in the body is crucial for overall health. We all need to drink enough pure water in order for the main organs and system to work properly. When you are well-hydrated, your body is able to regulate the temperature, the heart works well, the joints are well lubricated and the brain is functioning at its optimal. Also, the immunity system is preventing infections, you enjoy a good sleep and even your cognitive function and mood depend on how well hydrated your body is.

You are constantly losing water, especially in the summer or in a climate with high temperatures because your cells are using the water for their processes, also you sweat or the digestion system needs water in order to absorb all the nutrients from the food. In fact, good hydration is very important for all the nutrients to reach each part of the body. Also, all the toxins in order to be removed from the organs by the lymphatic system, you need to keep a good liquid balance.

Symptoms of dehydration

The symptoms of dehydration depend on how sensitive you are to high temperatures and your emotional state of being. However, many people experience mild headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, lightheadedness, dry skin and fatigue. All of these symptoms show a mild form of dehydration, however the severe stage of the condition will include excessive thirst, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, lack of sweat and very dark urine, and sometimes even unconsciousness or you might faint. So, you really need to monitor your physical state in order to catch these symptoms on the spot.

How long does it take to rehydrate yourself?

It depends on how dehydrated you are. In 45 minutes to an hour you can rehydrate yourself by drinking pure water. Mild to moderate cases of dehydration can be solved by drinking generous amounts of clean water. In an hour or two your body will be able to use the water supply coming from outside. The quality of the water is very important too as natural spring water is very well absorbed by the cells. The same is with the filtered or bottled energized water, this water has been returned to its natural state of energy by creating a small vortex on a molecular level for a small device placed under the water container.

If you experience moderate dehydration due to increased sweating after training, for example, or after vomiting or diarrhea, you might need sports drink or electrolyte drink in order to restore the mineral balance in your body. Severe cases of dehydration might need medical care in order to restore the fine liquid balance in the organs. If dehydration is not treated it might lead to heat stroke, low blood pressure or kidney failure.

How much water do you drink daily?

Again, it is very important that you give your cells access to pure water all the time. Depending on what type of water you drink, the absorption is different. The better water is, the better is the absorption by the cells. You definitely do not want to lose all the water that you drink by urinating it right after. That is why you need to create the habit to drink pure, energized water – the best one is natural spring water, but filtered water that has been sitting for ten minutes on a coMra Wave device is as good as it. Also, lukewarm water or hot water is better for your digestion and rehydration than cold or ice-cold water and the best way is to drink by taking small sips often rather than drinking half a liter at once.
