they weren't going to the bathroom!

sweet refreshing legumes!

I think the greater controversy with water is whether water is a lubricator or a solvent
 and therefore whether to consume a water lacking mineral that is purified or a dense heavy mineral water. It is through by some that the cells are lubricated by fats, and others that cells that are toxic can't even absorb the 'living' waters in fruits and vegetables that healthier individuals can and thus will remain chronically dehydrated regardless of h20 consumption.


Something to think about, but IMO I'm not sure what I believe but I don't think intake can be simplified just to diet and activity.

I subscribe to the theory that humans are not plain water drinking animals.
I get my water from fruits and raw meat, raw fat and occasionally juiced vegs.
For extra fluid I like coconut juice with coconut meat, watermelon, melon, or lemonade with a touch of raw honey.

As a result, I avoid salt.

I believe if people eat salt, they need more plain water to balance themselves.

I don't believe it is either especially if you are an athlete which I am. However the recommended 8 glass of water a day is absolutely unnecessary for raw paleos and stressful on your kidneys, at most we need 2 glasses. When you see wild animals drinking water its a couple gulps and they are gone. They don't drink 8+ glasses worth.

I think wild carnivores drink it because they don't have a choice. They would drink vegetable juices or milk if they were to choose.

The water from streams is also different from the usual filtered water which does not contain bacteria.
