On average, it takes the body approximately 15 minutes to absorb and distribute a glass of water.   However, when you’re dehydrated, this process takes a lot longer: approximately 45 minutes. This is because dehydration causes the stomach to produce more acid, slowing down the rate of digestion in the body and causing water and nutrients to be distributed more slowly.    Depending on how dehydrated you are and how much water you drink, you can expect rehydration to take anywhere from 2-3 hours. However, if you’re severely dehydrated, this process can take a bit longer – especially if you’re not receiving fluids and electrolytes intravenously (which is highly recommended for more intense cases).   If you’re suffering from dehydration and don’t know where to turn, look no further than Express Health Urgent Care.
