The chia plant produces both white and black seeds, both of which have similar nutritional profiles. Today, chia is cultivated for its nutritional benefits. In the late 20th century, a popular decorative figurine called the “Chia Pet” was crafted from chia seeds that sprouted on a terra cotta planter. In ancient cultures, chia was used as a folk medicine, cosmetic, and food. Chia (Salvia hispanica), an ancient Mexican crop, is another example of a functional food that has experienced a recent resurgence in popularity.Ĭhia is a flowering plant that grows in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia and the Americas. Examples of functional foods include fruits, vegetables, and fish. No matter where I stand on it, it rests the same weight.Functional foods have both nutritional and health benefits, and their use and consumption has increased in recent years. My scale is a reasonably accurate standard bathroom digital scale. In this morning’s case, I took a cool, prolonged shower (just to address the water vapor issue). The three pound of gain after showering MUST be from water absorption during my shower. So I’m dehydrated with clear bowels at the start of my run. Not to be gross, or risking TMI, I urinate at least a pint, and without TOO much investigation, I’d estimate that I drop at least a quarter pound in feces.

Also- I’ve dropped whatever weight in urine and feces before my run, dehydrating myself further. I don’t drink any water before my run, because I can’t run far with anything in my stomach. That would explain the weight loss of one pound.Īfter sleeping through the night, I assume my body dehydrates, as I’m simply not taking in any water while sleeping. It is wholly conceivable that I sweated a pint during my 5 mile run. There are eight pints to a gallon, so a pint of water weighs 1 pound. So either my digital scale is whacked, or… Weighed myself again and I weighed 185.5- a loss of one pound. This morning, I weighed myself after my “morning constitutional” and before my morning 5 mile run.

Went from 235 pounds to my current weight of 188 (depending on how hydrated I am). So are these people crazy or do you really absorb large amounts of water when you take a shower, take a bath, go swimming etc? I just can’t believe that it really happens…

I never thought of our skin as some kind of sponge and that water would pass through into our cells at anything like that kind of rate. I had taken a number of physiology classes in college and I was pretty sure this was compeltely bogus but somone else chimed in that they had read the same thing somewhere.

Before I could ask how they could do this someone else mentioned that taking a shower is equivalent to drinking 6-8 glasses of water. Since I had always thought that coffee was a diuretic, which would presumably dehyrate someone, I was a little surprised to hear this but before I could chime in someone else suggested that this person take a shower to “rehydrate” themself. (They had been a heavy coffee drinker so they figured that by not drinking coffee they were consuming a lot less liquid than they used to). I was sitting with some coworkers waiting for a meeting to start when someone mentioned that they had quit drinking coffee a few weeks ago and that they were feeling “dehydrated” all the time.
