ok distilling water removes everything that isnt water. if we talk about seawater, it's been boiled for hours to evaporate a lot of water to make it "pure"
why cant you just add a little bit of the boiled seawater to provide you with essential salts and minerals????
i wouldnt do it with water i thought was contaminated though,
Thinking outside of the box might just save your life!
Make a cup of tea or coffee. Anyone shouting about how they are diuretics can go back and check the research. Water is a hefty diuretic and is proved by drinking 8 cups of water a day. You pee out more water than you've drank. Your body gets into the systematic idea that you have an abundance of water, and so you don't need to conserve your bodies natural liquid stores. If you drink 1.5 litres of water in a desert or 4 litres, you'll dehydrate on the 4 litres faster. How weird is that? I'd rather have the 4 litres with me, but for consumption, a little bit, regularly, is the right way to go. Sorry, I've digressed....back to tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are made with water, and the amount of water consumed for an average cup, when taken into account the diuretic effect of tea or coffee, is actually more than enough to produce a positive water intake. However, 8-10 cups will have the same effect of drinking an excess.....your body stops storing water as it doesn't believe it needs to hold any more due to the regular supply.
When I was in the Cook Islands, I was the only person, out of 14, that didn't need rehydration salts, in a 5 week period. Oddly, I never drank water when I was told to, and just went on instincts. Speaking of which, coconut milk is ideal for rehydrating your body. It's definitely worth storing some of that up!!!
I've digressed again.....managing to derail my own replies haha.
Back to tea and coffee. if you're scared of the effects of "pure water" damaging your body, use it in cordial, tea, coffee, with lime juice or lemons squeezed in. Add some bread and make super low quality beer (how beer was first found apparently, a chunk of fermented bread left in water).
There are so many ways you can 'unpurify' water, that if you can't think of any, you have some serious issues!
