When you are dehydrated, why is it so hard to drink enough water?
In: Biology
So water molecules are only so small. If you drink water, it fills up in your stomach and your body would end up peeing out most of it before it can actually process much of it. Think about putting water inside of a colander or strainer. It goes right through. Now put a towel in the colander and pour water in it and you’ll notice the water filters through slower. Water pushes out of your body much faster than it’s absorbed. One substitute would be to have an electrical ionic water filter break the molecules down so they are easier to absorb. The best option of course is to have an IV where saline is directly injected into the bloodstream which puts water into your system directly.
