Human beings are like plants that must be watered. Our difference is that our “soil” is our blood, and to get it “dry” to absorb more water means two things:
Changing the level of salinity to allow more water via osmosis, and altering the composition of neurally-reactive cations and anions.
It’s not so much balancing them out as letting them enter and leave the system at intervals, like we do with air and respiration.
