Assume i had the right amount of liquid to replace lost hydration how many hours would it take for re hydration to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few minutes: Cell walls are freely permeable to water and water diffuses across them quickly . In a matter of minutes in the case of iv, and just slightly longer if ingested.
