Why Hydration Is Not Just About Drinking Water

And why how you drink matters just as much as how much

Most people think hydration is simple: drink more water.

But if you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly thirsty, running to the bathroom every 30-45 minutes or drinking water all day without ever really feeling satisfied… your body is telling you something important.

You are not absorbing the water you are drinking

At SOMATRĒ, we see this all the time and we all have experienced it personally.

Have you said…

“When I drink plain tap water, it runs straight through me.”

“I’m in the bathroom within 45 minutes and I still don’t feel hydrated.”

“My mouth feels dry.”

“My energy doesn’t change.”

“My body still feels like I’m asking for more.”

When we filter that tap water, remove the contaminants, add back trace minerals and structure through vortexing, sunlight or an Analemma wand, something beautiful happens.

Then you will find yourself saying…

“The water is staying in my body!”

“I don’t feel thirsty!”

“My energy feels steady!”

Your tissues feel nourished instead of flushed.

That’s not imagination - that’s how hydration actually works.

Your cells don’t run on water alone. They run on electrified mineral water.

Inside every cell is an electrical gradient that pulls water in. That pull depends on:

● Sodium

● Potassium

● Magnesium

● Calcium

● Trace Minerals

Without minerals, water has nothing to “carry” into the cell.

This is why

Plain, de-mineralized water → passes straight through

Mineralized, structured water → gets pulled into the tissues

Reverse osmosis water, distilled water and heavily filtered water remove everything - including the minerals your cells need to absorb it.

So you drink.

You pee.

You drink again.

You still feel dry.

This is functional dehydration.

Why filtered + mineralized water hydrates better

When you:

● Remove chlorine, chemicals and other contaminants (with filtration or reverse osmosis)

● Add back trace minerals

● Vortex, structure or sun-change the water

You’re creating what water looks like in nature: flowing through rock, picking up minerals, moving in spirals, exposed to sunlight.

This type of water:

● Holds a charge

● Carries minerals

● Enters cells more easily

● Hydrates deeper

Your body doesn’t have to fight to keep it - it welcomes it.

Why you pee out plain water so fast

If water lacks minerals, your kidney treats it like excess fluid.

Your body says:

“This isn’t useful. Get rid of it.”

So it goes straight to urine.

When water contains electrolytes and trace minerals, the body recognizes is as a valuable fluid and pulls it into:

● Blood plasma

● Lymph

● Cells

● Connective Tissue

That’s why mineralized water:

● Lasts longer in the body

● Reduces thirst

● Improves circulation

● Feels “satisfying” to drink

Common symptoms of dehydration

Very common even in people who drink lots of water

● Dry mouth or lips

● Feeling thirsty often

● Frequent urination

● Dark urine

● Fatigue

● Brain Fog

● Headaches

● Dizziness

● Dry Skin

● Muscle Cramps

● Constipation

● Low blood pressure

● Anxiety or jitteriness

● Sugar cravings

● Poor sleep

● Cold hands and feet

Many of these happen because cells are dry, even when the bladder is full.

What proper hydration feels like

When your water is actually being absorbed, people often notice:

● Thirst goes away

● Urine becomes pale and less frequent

● Mouth feels moist

● Energy becomes steadier

● Less Fatigue

● Better mental clarity

● Warm hands and feet

● Fewer headaches

● Improved digestion

● Reduced sugar cravings

● Skin looks more plump

● Muscles feels less tight

● Calmer nervous system

● Better sleep

This is what hydration is supposed to feel like.

Not bloated.

Not flushed.

Nourished.

Simple upgrades anyone can make

Three simple steps change everything:

● Filter your water - remove contaminants

● Add trace minerals - just a few drops per glass

● Vortex or structure - stir, pour between jars, use an Analemma wand or sun-charge

That’s it.

This small ritual turns water into something your body actually recognizes as nourishment.

And when your cells are hydrated, everything else works better - detox, digestion, energy, mood and healing.

That is WHY hydration is one of the first steps we guide people through at SOMATRĒ.

Because transformation begins with that you give your body every single day.
