If our body requires salt and water, why cant we drink salt water?🤔

People falsly assume drinking any amount of salt water at at any time is dangerous. Thats not true. Chicken broth wokld kill you if that was the case.

The problem witb sea water is the salt levels are so high, that if you are dehydrated, youre taking in to muxh salt to water ratio to be balanced and will be taking in too much salt in realtion to water for yojr kidneys to process and eliminate. While they are trying to do so you end up excreting more water and becoming even more dehydrated. But just drinking slme sea water when regular wateris avaialble as well isnt the danger peoplw assume it is.

My body requires chocolate, Fruity Pebbles and coffee. Not necessarily in that order.
