Hunger vs Thirst

So, last week . . . we spoke about how the "spleen" needs to be "hydrated" to function properly . . .
And in today's world . . . with its Western diet . . . 75% of us are . . . DEHYDRATED!!!
Now . . . there's only about 340.1 million people in the U.S, . . . and statistics say . . . 326.7 million of us are "CHRONICALLY DEHYDRATED"!!!
So, what's wrong with this picture people???
Now . . . "dehydration" can occur for several reason . . . and they would be . . .
When the body loses more water than it takes in . . . like when . . .
Over sweating
Over exercising
Over peeing
or even chronic diarrhea
This can also happen when people "only" drink water when they're "thirsty" . . .
Which by the way . . . is too late . . .
You see . . . when we THINK we're "thirsty" . . . the body is "already" dehydrated
But, the biggest factor is this . . .
When the "thirst" mechanism in the brain is "so weak" . . . it mistakes "thirst . . . for "hunger"
So, the question for today . . . is this . . .
Are we really "Hungry" or just "Thirsty"???
Well . . . guess what???
A lot of the symptoms are the "same" . . . for both "hunger" and "thirst".
And the "same" part of the brain is "responsible" for INTERPRETING both "hunger" and "thirst" signals
And when we're dehydrated . . . we can feel tired, have grumbling in the stomach or become light headed . . . just like when we're hungry.
So ultimately . . . this "SNACKING THING" that most Americans do . . .
Is REALLY just a "THIRST" thing . . . and we don't even know it.
So, how can we tell if we're "hungry" . . . or REALLY just "thirsty"???
Well . . . the human body actually needs to eat a meal every 3 to 4 hours . . .
And "IF" . . . . you feel "hungry" between meals . . . you're MOST LIKELY . . . just "DEHYDRATED" and "thirsty" . . .
NOT REALLY "HUNGRY" AT ALL.
Right there . . . we just "eliminated" a bunch of calories by NOT eating snacks between meals my friends.
So, tomorrow . . . let's continue to better understand this whole "HUNGER vs THIRST" process . . .
