Intuitive eating

If you really think about how complex intra and extracellular water and electrolyte balance is – a complex process moderated by everything from our thyroid gland to our kidneys, you realize right away that this intuitive urge to dilute concentrated salt with water only minutes after ingestion is absolutely astounding. It’s a strong indication of just how fine-tuned our bodies are, and how masterful they are about controlling our involuntary urge to drink.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to 'these pretzels are making me thirsty'.
