Why Not Drink Saline-like Water (0.85% W/v) All The Time?

[PeatThemAll]

Basically, why not help the body keep its iso-osmotic state by making sure the water intake is always saline-like in its concentration?

0.85% w/v --> 8.5 grams / 1000 mL (1 liter)

Of course, follow your taste buds. Listen to that "Enough" signal

Why does putting salt water (saline) into our blood stream rehydrate us, but drinking salt water can harm us? • r/askscience

Given the info in the above link... This thread can now be deleted if deemed not Peaty enough and/or more appropriate.

Sometimes when I have a nasty headache I need a hypertonic solution of water:salt to fix me up. But straight water makes things much worse.

I don't drink water since following Peat, but I like to take a pinch of salt before I drink oj or coffee.

Someone should count all the salt in their diet and all the water and see what the ratio is

Drink coconut water ?

It tastes mildly salty and won't dehydrate you

Drinking water is disastrous. Juice is far better.
