Most people think dehydration is solved by drinking more water. Physiologically, that’s not how hydration works. Hydration is not just fluid intake; it’s water retention at the cellular level. For water to stay inside cells, the body requires adequate energy, sodium, and glucose. Without these, excess water dilutes electrolytes, lowers plasma sodium, and activates stress hormones to compensate. Low sodium intake and electrolyte dilution stimulate the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) a
