Diet and Hydration:

We do not realise but Diet and Hydration are very “Linked” together, because depending what we eat in our “Diet” it can influence a lot our Hydration Level.

It’s globally the reason, we have to be carefull to the amount of salt in our “Diet“, to realise the impact it will have on our “Hydration level“, we have to learn and think practically constantly in the beginning to acquire some knowledges slowly, to have an idea about “Amount of Salt” we are absorbing every day.

Something to know also is when we want to Hydrate ourself properly we should not wait the moment we are feeling thirsty because when we feel thirsty, it’s generally too late, meaning we are dehydrated since few hours.

Because the feeling of being dehydrated arrive late and because Hydration Level is affecting our Stress Level and Irritability. Waiting before to drink is not really healthy to our Body, Our Tiredness can increase much more if we are waiting to hydrate ourself.

The French Website www.consoglobe.com (Link) give us some attention regarding amount of potassium we are absorbing in some Food Product:

• “Advice from the dietetic professional regarding Potassium and Hydration:
  • We can also think to Coffee and Cocoa for drinks ( But only in some occasion because they have also some bad effect, whereas Fruits and Vegetables ) It’s important also to remember that the excess of salt is not good at all cause of potassium – and for all our body function basically.
  • We should reduce the salt until not adding so much if possible. And we should eat 5 fruits and veggies, raw or/and cooked at least by day !”

There is a direct link between Hydration and Potassium,

Potassium is molecule existing in Highest quantity in : “Chocolate, Tomato, Avocado, Broccoli, Sweet Potato, Quinoa..”.

You can also more information in “ConsoGlobe” website regarding Amount of Potassium in Food Product following this (Link).

“David Servan-Schreiber” Books Anticancer propose to adapt our Diet eating more or less specific type of food. But David recommend also to drink lot of Tea every day that’s one of the most important aspect of his book helping to prevent “Risk of Cancer“.

Something to keep in mind is hydrating ourself is recommended Worldwide by Doctors and World Health Organisation. Drinking is basic rule we have tendency to forgot.

We have to Drink 2L of Water a Day as we recommend sometimes 5 fruits and Veggies a day when you start to hydrate yourself properly, you will notice a difference and 2 L a day is a minimum…

Also something we do not realise is when we change our Diet for any reason as Travelling or Changing our Habits to live differently, The risk of some Diet is to start to create an unbalanced diet

And in some situation “High amount” of “Potassium” and Too “High Amount” of “Salt” can result a bad Chemistry in Blood, also call as “Blood PH Highest Acidity level Rising“. Source “Consoglobe.com“.

When we start to understand this Principe we realise our blood chemistry is changing constantly, it is not only concerning potassium, our Kidneys and Liver function are regulating excess of anything we eat (Sugar, Salt, Potassium…). They are working as natural filter for the Blood and “PH Acidity“.

You might be very surprised to feel better when you start to drink properly. ( Find also more information on Hydration Page (Link) ) you can find a Schema showing Hydration level oppose to activities). We can notice depending your Hydration Level your Mental and Wellbeing can be affected a lot.

Hydration level too low can increase risk of Hallucination.

David Servan-Schreiber in his Books precise “Our ancestor were not adding Salt in anything (Whereas for food Conservation)“.

Salt Consumption have maximum level intake of 3g / by day. More the Salt is increasing more we are dehydrated quickly. To reduce Salt something we can do is to scan all product we are eating with the YUKA Mobil App. (Link).

The Yuka Application can help to measure the amount of Salt in any Food Product we are eating showing threshold in Green/Red level. You have the possibility to see if the products are over salty. By the way we are very often surprise about the result. ( Sal/Sugar are sometimes difficult to detect only with taste )

Please remind the best is always to ask Nutritious Advice from Professional and Doctors. Nutritious books and NHS website are also very a Good Way to progress knowledges on Nutritious Knowledges.
