Hydrating

Our bodies are mostly water.  The newest science of water is coming from Gerald Pollack, PhD.  Older folks get dehydrated more easily and may wind up in the emergency room because of dehydration.  I have met them.

Common USA foods helping us to hydrate:

Raw apple cider vinegar

Grass fed butter

Cinnamon

Cucumber

Ginger root

Raw honey

Lemons 

Pears

Raspberries

Rock salt or sea salt

So I pulled this list from Quench, a book discussed on an online holistic summit this past year.  There are more items and some hydrating recipes in the book.  Here’s a recipe.

Coconut chia pudding.     2 or 3 servings

1 1\4 cup. Coconut milk

1/4 cup  chia seeds.       Crushed will be easier to digest & more powerful

1 Tsp  maple syrup

Dash of vanilla

Top with berries!

Chia seeds are very hydrating.  I didn’t include them above because I don’t think they are common.  This is my first time using them.  Consistency is thicker than tapioca.  Yum!
