Does hydration enhance nutrient metabolism? Hmmm?

Being optimally hydrated is always a way to improve safety of nutrient metabolism, especially water-soluble nutrients including certain forms of minerals and proteins. Having plenty of water in your bloodstream, cells, and tissue spaces outside of the cells is one way to decrease the concentration of these nutrients as well as their metabolic breakdown products (like ammonia in the case of proteins).
