Water does not hydrate well! Water is not hydrating, and it's the one thing that people overdo every single day in my opinion. Athletes drink gallons of water, it's been said that you must hydrate with water every morning before you eat something, you must drink your water so that your properly hydrated, yada, yada, yada! What we must understand is what dehydrates the body in the first place. Acids dehydrate the body, and not consuming structured water in living foods will dehydrate the body, because they lack electrolytes and cooked food is dehydrated chemistry to where you burn off the electrolytes, and in that case it would make sense to be drinking water to try to hydrate your body. The water that we have access today especially bottled or from the faucet is toxic, it's filled with chemicals, inorganic minerals that our body doesn't use and needs, and there's environmental pollutants that your constantly ingesting that are acidic that actually will dehydrate you more than even get anywhere close to bringing hydration to cells. When your lymphatic system is backed up from head to toe, and there's acids and interstitial space is all throughout your body, you are systemically dehydrated. Any form of acidic chemistry will cause more dehydration, and dead water is not the solution to bring hydration to your cells. Regardless of what I'm saying, or whether I have scientific data to layout every little statement I make is irrelevant when you actually live out and experience true hydration that comes from living foods such as your fruits, berries and melons. I remember when I was trying to hydrate my body drinking gallons of water, left feeling dehydrated, dry mouth and no energy whatsoever, and just constant urination of overworking my kidneys and bladder, which was the last thing that I should have been doing with systemic acid stagnation and degeneration in my kidneys and Lumbar spine. The more Living Water I consumed I found the less I actually needed to feel hydrated, and I had to break the conditioning that drinking water was essential to produce optimal health. If your still eating lots of cooked food, then you need to try to hydrate and keep things flowing, but this is not an ideal solution for hydration, and it's definitely something you should transition out of by adopting a living foods diet that is loaded with electrolytes, alkalinity and true hydration. It would be better to get your hydration from raw coconuts, and fruit and veggie juices if your still eating cooked food, because truly drinking water it's just going to come in and out of your body and provide no specific need, at least in the way that I see it and have experienced it. The question may be raised that people have been drinking water for thousands of years, and why is it here if we're not supposed to drink it? Well the question is what is your species designed to eat, and the very food that humans are designed to eat contain 75% to 97% water already in the fruit, and it's true structured living naturally distilled water not tampered and manipulated, and protected. I'm not going to say that humans don't have an essential need for water, but I will say it's quite possible that we don't need drinking water, because when your on a frugivore diet, and your getting so much water already from the fruit, your not going to even have a desire to drink any other source of water, because your body is not going to need it. But whether humans have an essential need for drinking, and it was a part of human history and has an essential need, we do not live in that same world anymore, and the water that we have access today is extremely contaminated and should be avoided. Buying specific water machines to manipulate the water is not a solution either, the best balanced water with its proper ratio of electrolytes is going to be found in the living foods, and if you eat them long enough, and you get your kidneys to filter out the acids that dehydrate you, you will feel hydrated on a systemic level, and you will not require a whole lot of water to feel hydrated, because your whole body will be more alkaline which just creates natural electrolytes and hydration on a cellular level. Remember alkalinity and the raw living foods contain lots of oxygen and when you create this environment in your body, your going to always feel hydrated at some level, when you continue to repeat every single day a lifestyle of consuming 100% raw chemistry. I have built a habit even prior to a raw food diet of intermittent dry fasting for at least 12 to 20 hours for two years straight. In the beginning I felt dehydrated when I dry fasted, but I had to experience this for myself to see if it was the acids that were causing the dehydration, because truly I was finding myself very frustrated never feeling hydrated even on fruits, vegetables and added drinking water and I what's guzzling juice and water by the gallon every day. I learned that too much liquid was too hard on my kidneys, and was suppressing my kidneys ability to filter out lymphatic fluid waste, because they were being to burden by the excess water I wasn't taking throughout the day. The more I extended my dry fast, and the less water I consume, I noticed better kidney filtration, which meant that I was removing the acids from my body, and I felt more hydrated on less as the days went on. Eventually I was able to wake up starting my dry fasting in the evening until the following day without cottonmouth, and now today I can go 24 hours easily, without any dry mouth whatsoever. You would think that somebody that dry fasted the way that I do on a daily basis and truly doesn't even consume a lot of water even from the fruits, would always feel dehydrated, but I truly don't, and always have moisture in my mouth. There's always going to be somebody that has a skeptical negative thing to say about dry fasting, but when you actually experience it, and you see that your filtering on the daily, you will be quite amazed that you will actually feel more hydrated when you consume nothing, versus taxing the body with juices and food. I pretty much dry fast for 21 hours every single day, and this helps me to filter like a stallion every single day. Lately I've been dry fasting, for 21 to 22 hours everyday, and and eating within a two to three hour eating window which consists of only like two plates of food in volume. Crazy enough I've been feeling more hydrated doing this, and I'm not even ingesting any juice or any fluid throughout the day. I think we need to shatter the myth of what hydration is, and in my opinion the primary source is not found in liquids primarly, but rather a clean and alkaline body that's removing acids that cause dehydration, and you must remove the acids through the kidneys for the body to be hydrated, on top of a 100% raw food diet based around water-rich fruits. I'm hearing from a lot of people that are on 100% raw food diets and dry fast on an intermittent level or from 24 to 36 hours a week and more, don't have an issue with dehydration when their kidneys have been filtering on the daily for months on end. If you limit water intake and your not filtering or haven't been filtering, then you will feel dehydrated, but this is not the case for those that filter good, and that also don't add in any drinking water, and also are not overeating on fruits and vegetables. It's not smart for somebody to just jump into this, but to work up to this level. If you're still eating cooked food or your a beginner on this lifestyle, hold your horses, and don't give up your water, and don't jump into dry fasting, hydrate your body with the structured water found in fruits and vegetables for several months, and slowly Implement intermittent dry fasting starting at 12 hours, and work your way up to this level, get your kidneys filtering first, which you must in my opinion limit your added drinking water, and try to hydrate with the living structured water in the fruit alone, use the herbs to help open up your kidneys, and eventually when you remove the systemic acidosis, you will require less fluid to be hydrated. Everybody out there is at their own stage on this journey of regenerative detoxification and natural hygiene, but don't think for a minute that water is an essential need, when there are people shattering this myth, and proving it to be one in this community including myself. Some people drink their urine and that's where they get their hydration, and I will not comment on that, because I have not experienced it for myself to make any judgment, but there are also those that don't consume lots of fluids and that dry fast that are also experiencing these amazing results as well. There shouldn't be a division, and constant judgment regarding these specific methods. The one thing we can learn from each other is by experience, and for me personally by choosing to not partake in added drinking water or my urine, and getting all my hydration from the fruits, and also dry fasting on the daily for years, I could only share with you my own personal experience, and listening to others to make these statements with passion and excitement. Truth be told, water alone does not hydrate well. Hydration comes from the electrolytes in the living foods, and the dead foods, and the non-structured living waters, will never bring true cellular hydration, and I don't care what anybody says. Get back to nature my friends, get back to the diet you are biologically designed to eat, tap into your intuitive consciousness, let your instincts guide you, and I promise you my friends you will thrive.
