✨ Six years ago, when I first started my training as a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I picked up The Body’s Many Cries for Water by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj. At that time, I was stressed, achy, and tired — far from feeling alive and vital.
This book changed everything for me. As I began applying what I learned, I gained more energy, my aches started to ease, and it set me on a path of overcoming a long-term chronic inflammatory health condition. 💫
Some of the the book’s many messages are simple but profound:
💧 Many illnesses today are rooted in chronic dehydration.
🧂 Medications often only soothe symptoms, but without rehydration, the root cause remains.
🌱 The body can only truly heal when it has the water and minerals it needs.
One line my lecturer at the time said has stayed with me:
“All illness begins with dehydration, and all treatment plans begin with hydration.”
But when we say dehydration, we don't simply mean feeling thirsty. Dehydration from this perspective means dehydration at a cellular level, but this can be easily counteracted over time.
💦 Sometimes, the simplest steps — like drinking water daily and adding good-quality salts to support absorption at cellular level — can be a complete game-changer.
And if 3–5 pints a day feels overwhelming, just start where you are:
👉 If you drink nothing, begin with 1 pint.
👉 If you drink 1 pint, aim for 2.
👉 Each month, increase slowly until your body is consistently nourished.
