Add Water to all food - #BetterPractices

Like soups / juicing / blending / liquefying but more water + heating / boiling items submerged under the water as solid / partially chopped to drink)

Make soups from everything or flavoured water from many things you have to make your food last longer.

Search for "OTHER IDEAS" on this post (CTRL-F) to see the quick list of ideas I've done / you can try regularly without dying and maybe the opposite!

You can eat solids but after sinking them in water first or boiling it all in a big pot and topping it up with water after each drink. The extra steps (however you like) are the key to making things last and cheating the solid food cost and weight on body suddenly. Often body just needs a top up on fuel or hot liquid (like if you're cold).

Drink the water first like tea until there is no taste you like AND THEN ADD MORE.. then at the end EAT the solids. Heating helps bring it out but some foods like oats don't even need - the room temperature and mixing is good (drinking liquid first and adding more water, then after eating oats).

█Water = #SavingPlanet #Saving Less #Buying - more abundant style of #Economy usnig #Water
(less land and money strain overall).

█Healthier in terms of digestion as body needs to break down less.
█Body is water ( 70%+/- !) and natural replacement and regeneration for it

Still ok to have lots of solids, just tease yourself more and more to find the right combination of crazy stuff knowing you can have it at the end
█ almost thinking of it as dieting or
█ cheating capitalism by having more water-fied food / liquids.

Like a hot soup is to vegetables but for everything. I don't mean just blasting it in a blender as you can eat it too much that way... has to be separate or easy to drink without it all going.

Must be a name for this type of submerging / milking / or soaking... :)

Things can be put into any pot of water and ideally heated almost to boil (I have wood stove so a big pot is on all the time, but even soaking a carrot or drinking boiled carrot juice works in something small works (even carrot in a kettle)

█ left in water is also to avoid you touching / eating it too quickly so it's also a self-check mechanism (with the water added in between to last longer or keep you moving around / not just eating from nervousness)

█ Like tea is. Make Liquid by mixing water in everything - all foods can be done the same (or almost all)

OTHER IDEAS:
█ olives

█ tomatoes chopped / blended to make base of juice

█ beetroot (juices from jars are usually sweet so this can be diluted and so can the beetroot after - not emptying juice or drinking it all at once! Dilute!)

█ anything in a vinegar

█ the tea leaves from boxes nobody ever touches + bit of sugar left over - even old tea bags died or not!

█ empty honey jar / honey combes or old jars filled with boiling water until honey or whatever in there is all gone.

█ even with sauces (dilute)
from over-spiced things to make less spicy (like from takeway food - often happens) but not just bland watery either (balance / push limits!)

█ meat and chicken also ok (not my first recommendation but if you drink more meaty juices than a bag of vegetables that it better in a few ways - especially if it would go to bio trash anyway)

█ Nettles - honestly the best and most available weed like drink best hot (like leaves of ganja, hemp, cannabis but more subtle - still a boost from it's green, and seed ok too... underestimated / dare you try boil water and let it sit or add in foods like spinach (is very close I've done half a bush in big pot and last ages and works like spinach with everything else throw in

█ fruit whole in a pot cooked (even orange peels or citrus peels can be put into water for hot or cool drink later rather than throw away - yes even with possible pesticides)

█ chopped cabbage (red especially or any dark food), same with diluting the supermarket juices that come with it or just half bake / boil a big piece of cabbage or all of it if you have a witches style pot / cauldron!

█ herbs - try them all heated and unheated - cheap bags of herb can last a while (but do try nettles literally put in whole or by holding the bottom of stem and with other hand running fingers- the leaves fall into pot but stem is ok too)

█ Kombucha style stuff (mushroom, tea fungus, yeast)

█ cucumbers + dill (often already in jars or with all that other mini salad stuff in jar dilute / make tea from it)

█ candy sweets plopped in water 🍬 !

█ flowers - more petals the better in many cases and you'll know by smell and tasting raw (blue soft petals usually perfect flavourFULL)

(last few seem more extreme but try them all or whenever you come across them and can save it for 'a test')

Heating constantly (especially in winter) means drinking warm liquid solves the craving to get warm because you are tempted to eat solids when cold trying to get warm so instead of overloading solids trying to get the body to convert to heat inside (or from nervous loading of food), just drink and keep busy with your day knowing you can top up (thermos useful).

A warm or hot drink in helps you last longer.

Happy to help you setup with whatever you have around - ask with any crazy combinations as I've lived in the 'bushes' and do make things last so you can pick your level or desperation as I would like to see if I can fit that into your life too and test my experience. 🌿 🍉 🥕 🍅 🍬
