Dunn suggests that by eating these low moisture foods, they never satisfy our original thirst. We keep eating and eating to try to satisfy that hunger, but since the food is low moisture, all we ingest is excess calories. This leads to a weight problem.
Thirst Resistance
Just like insulin resistance, The Aquavore Diet suggests we get “thirst” resistant. As we age, many of us can get by with less and less water. But, we need to turn this around in order to improve the body processes. Dr. Dunn says it is as simple as drinking a little more water every day, or eating foods with a lot of moisture.
High Moisture, Aquavore Foods
Cook meats at low and slow temperatures like in soups or stews, but focus on eating more plant proteins.
Consume more fish and seafood.
Any fresh fruit or vegetable including beans and potatoes.
Broths or soups.
Nuts.
Limit alcohol to only one or two small glasses of wine per day because it can have dehydrating and other negative health effects beyond that.
