7:25 The best way to stay hydrated
8:38 How to know if you're dehydrated
10:53 Check out my video on electrolytes!
Today, I will cover some interesting new concepts about water and its ability to hydrate your cells.
Water gets into your cells through small channels with help from electrolytes. A dehydrated cell has an imbalance of electrolytes and fluid, not just a lack of water. If you drink too much water, you can dilute certain electrolytes and become dehydrated.
Water is important, but we don't get hydrated just from water. When you're not thirsty and force yourself to drink a lot of water, this can cause various issues, especially if you exercise.
Other liquids like coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, and fruit juice can deplete your electrolytes and cause you to become dehydrated. Sports drinks may also cause more weight gain than soda. Even certain electrolyte powders contain a lot of sugar.
A good principle is to drink when you're thirsty and don't force yourself to drink too much. It's also essential to get all of the electrolytes and avoid things that can deplete your electrolytes.
Keep in mind, if you're prone to kidney stones, you should drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid with electrolytes every day.

I've never been able to grasp people's hate for water. I crave water consistently. I can drink other beverages, but it will not quench my thirst like water does. People act like that with soda and it blows my mind.

I'm from a rural part of Ireland , my grandad had to travel 3 miles to a well on a donkey and cart when he was young to fill barrels with water to bring home. Because of this ,water was used sparingly in his youth. I asked if they drank 2 litres a day, and he just laughed, there was 17 of them living in the house, he said you just had a small glass when you were thirsty , there's no way all 17 could have two litres a day! He survived , he's also 89 !

@Music-gr2wf Месяц назад

Exactly! ❤ And if you feel too much of any of those, you probably have some nutrients deficiency, take bigger doses of them with their cofactors and get back to balance / homeostasis 😊 If too much thirsty: have electrolytes. If too much hungry have more proteins and animal fat, and some bile salts. Not hungry: Niacin and Zinc. If often feeling sad, make sure to get l-tryptophan, l-tyrosine, vitamin C (or at least ascorbic acid), B6, magnesium, D3, L-theanine, B12... If too much happy, just share it. If too much tired, take a CoQ10, PQQ, ALCAR (or at least l-carnitin), Niacin, B1, B9, B12, l-Taurine, l-creatine, and some Caffeine to counterbalance. If too much stressed out or insomnia: B1, B6, l-theanine, GABA, Magnesium, l-glycine, l-glutamine And always get enough zinc.

The things that took deeper root under Truman continue to do more damage than we know, but really we've been quietly dipped in nonsense for a century. I find it instructive to note our FDA used to be the Bureau of Chemistry. Just remember that politicians [and by extension the bureaucrats they establish] are creatures of consensus. For that reason, science is their most abysmal skill - they generally suck at it. Note that when covid circus was unfolding, that Fauci and his cohorts were worried about maybe 2 or 3 people out of the 535 in congress. Given that abysmal percentage, I think that tells us what consensus is worth: a moment, a narrative, and an outcome unlikely to produce any positive results for society.

@StofStuiver 9 месяцев назад

Depens on what you are doing, temp, but also humidity of the air. If air humidity is high, your body cant cool well, bc most heat is extracted by the state change from liquid to gas, which then cant happen well. So you only sweat more. Which dehydrates you more, so you need to drink more. Dry heat is much easier on the system than wet heat. For instance the US east coast is very humid usually, bc of humid air coming in from the ocean. Much easier on the west coast of the US, where humidity is usually a lot lower. Same for the Europe/Asia continent, where it is easier in western Europe. As for Australia, it will also depend on which coast you are. Where the prevailing winds come from. Land wind is dry. Ocean wind humid.

I had been told years ago by a heart Dr that I should never consume salt. He even said that if people would stop consuming salt that he would be without a job. So, I stopped consuming salt altogether. Then I was told that I needed to drink tons of water and that would make me feel better because I must be dehydrated. So I started to do that. My health plumited. I was in and out of the er multiple times per month and rang up bills galore! I was on some blood pressure meds including a diaredic. Now why all those Drs could not figure out what was wrong with me is crazy. I started watching more videos on these subjects, including your videos, and made changes like including some pink salt and cut back the water, plus started taking more potassium and magnesium. I started to feel better within days! I then have continued with more videos and learned that not having a gallbladder has caused some vitamin deficiencies for me. So I take your suppliments.

Back in the late 70s, my high school football coach almost killed me with those summer double practice sessions in the blazing heat. A few water breaks with no electrolytes and I was always on the verge of heatstroke, having to practice with a pounding headache- it truly felt like hell on Earth to me. Coupled with ankle and shoulder injuries that never had time to heal, it was a miserable experience and I'm constantly reminded when the arthritis flares up.

@crosisofborg5524 8 месяцев назад

When I was pregnant, I was always thirsty. I would drink minimum a gallon of water a day, yet I always felt dehydrated. I would urinate every 30 minutes and it just felt like the water was not hydrating my body. I had oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) and was told to keep drinking pure water and no less than a gallon a day which is what I did. Nothing helped until they put an IV on me… now I understand why. Thank you.

Since I was a child everytime I ran or did physical work, expecially on hot sunny days, I would get dizzy and feel like I was going to pass out. I only realized when I was an adult that it was dehydration and a drink of water instantly made me feel better, even though I didn't feel thirsty at all. So it's good to stay hydrated even if you don't feel thirsty, especially on hot days or during physically demanding work or exercise. As a child, I rarely drank water I only drank sugary soft drinks.

@mrmacross 2 года назад

Agree with the general premise. I just might add that as Dr. Berg was saying, working out and hot weather really changes the equation. I've heard thirst described as a lagging indicator, so you might be sweating like crazy long before you get thirsty. I get pounding headaches after sweating really hard, sometimes even nausea and vomiting, so if I know I'm going to have prolonged exposure to hot weather or am going to do a long intense workout, the easiest way for me to avoid those massive headaches and other symptoms is to pre-hydrate. Overall, I agree that if you're sitting indoors all day in climate-controlled environments then you shouldn't force yourself to drink, but in really hot weather or during workouts you probably don't want to wait to get thirsty.

@ryannalbach Год назад

Same here! I need to drink tons of water or else I get headaches if I'm in the sun doing work. So I've learned now to just drink as much water as possible before, during, and after any intense activity in the sun. No more headaches, also hydration bladders make it so much easier to keep drinking all day.

Thank you for the insight. As a muslim currently fasting 16-17 hours a day with no food or water, it really is incredible to see how quickly the body adjusts and how little it needs to thrive. In fact I have more energy during the fast then I do whilst regularly eating meals throughout the day. Over consumption of anything will always be destructive. Our Prophet PBUH would fast regularly and never eat to his fill. Consuming moderately would alleviate many of the issues we face both personally but also on a wider communal scale.

I think part of the issue is that so many people are drinking filtered/bottled water where all the electrolytes have been removed. Also, we've been told for all too many years how unhealthy salt in our diets is. I wish people really were told more about how important the sodium/potassium balance really is. Most of us don't come close to getting the 1.5 to 2 grams of potassium per day.

Falling in the bathroom can result in serious injury in the already frail. I’ve seen it result in major head trauma.

Research God's time/calendar in Genesis 1:14. God MAY allow “The Powers To Be “ to enforce some type of “Sabbath Law” to see if we will keep His law or no before He delivers His scattered people from the nations. How can the true Sabbath be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, etc, if we are commanded by God in Genesis 1:14 to let the lights in heaven be for days, years, etc.? Besides, the beginning of God's months start with the new moon days. The Gregorian Calendar hanging on our walls, in our houses, do not start it’s months with the new moon day as the scriptures testify. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that time/calendar....How can the beginning of the month start in the midst of a month or, how can the first day of the month also be the seventh day Sabbath? God has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day, they never, ever, overlaps each other. Ezekiel 46:1-3, 2 Kings 4:17-23. Look at the scriptures in Genesis 7:11, Genesis 8:4,5,13,14 and tell me what and whose time/calendar is being used here? We must abandon our traditions, stop worshiping God in vain and do things God’s way. Let us not deceive ourselves, there will be no good reward for keeping man’s doctrines in the place of what God commands. We make God's Word of none effect when we cling to our traditions.

Were these studies done under a certain context? For instance, I wouldn't be shocked if Gatorade was actually more hydrating during exercise than plain water due to sugar and electrolyte depletion. However, that fact wouldn't justify drinking it all day long. Also, population, type of exercise, and drink composition could all generate a larger difference in impact for some groups than drink vs no-drink in other groups It should also be noted that the likes coca-cola/minute maid, welches, and other "juice" brands produce alot of drinks and put their foot on the scale of science regularly.

@StofStuiver 9 месяцев назад

There is an evolutionary disposition of people (and other living beings) to crave for what the body needs. You should ALWAYS listen to that and definately NOT go against it. We all know it from pregnant women aswell, but it works for all. Ofc im talking about foods, not addiction. If you are thirsty, you need hydration. If you feel like something sweet, you need sugars (big or small ones) If you feel like a steak, of burger, you need protein. OR salt, as we usually salt (season) our meats. May also be that you feel like eating potato chips or something, which are usually salted. Those are the major ones. (imo there is no such particularly for fats). Specific minerals, vitamins, etc are less explicit, but if you really feel like eating pickles, you most likely need something that is in that food. And dont go overboard with anything. If you want to diet, or get in shape, or smth, you didnt gain all that or got out of shape in a day. Dont try to correct it in a short period. Take your time. It usually comes down to 2 things; move more, eat less. Also always look at why you got into that bad condition. Its probably something psychological, social, emotional. You will have to try correct that too. In my opinion thats the hardest part.

This was very helpful, thank you. I wish that all those "benefits of prolonged water only fasts" videos specified this kind of stuff. I just finished a long fast and got kinda sick because i didn't have enough sodium. I guess it's kinda my fault, but still. Ty

So generally -Drink water when you're thirsty (what a concept) - electrolytes are just as important (have a look at homemade electrolyte drinks on YT) - if you are drinking coffee and sodas, follow up with a little water. - if it's hot and or humid, in take a bit more but not too much. - the only time you need to take in a lot of water is when you have kidney stones. - hotter climate dwellers should drink a little more.

You forgot about physically straight activities such as hiking. If you are on a long hike you need to regularly drink, and then follow up irregularly with salty and sugary foods and or drinks. This Is to keep you hydrated (water and electrolytes) and the sugar to keep your blood sugar from crashing.

@@gustavusadolphus4344 that fits under (drink when you're thirsty) clearly if you are doing something physical you will need to drink more lol

When I was in basic training in Alabama during the height of summer and the temperature would exceed 100 degrees daily, our drill sergeants would make us put salt packets in our water canister before a hike, it was the norm; I never fell out or fainted, but a few guys didn’t always make it and had to be rushed to the hospital, not sure if it was heat exhaustion or dehydration but the salt seemed to work out for the majority of us.
