Boiled Rice Prevents Dehydration

Lots of things contribute to a state of dehydration during our busy days.  Exercise, heat, and a bout of diarrhea can cause dehydration and we don’t always take the time to replace the lost liquids until we find ourselves dizzy, not thinking clearly, and being exhausted.

When you’re dehydrated, you’ve lost electrolytes which can also cause other serious problmes as well.  You need salts and minerals in your blood, cells and tissue fluids. 

You can replace your electrolytes without buying costly sports drinks.  An age old and simple method in replacing our nutrients when dehydrated, or when suffering from diarrhea, is to cook up some rice and then drink the cooled water the rice was boiled in.  That water contains those valuable nutrients you’ve lost!
