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 . . .
