Brilliant! I am a BIG water drinker and can testify that drinking just water instead of fruit juices (too sugary for me), sodas (not a fan) caffeine after 3pm puts me in an all night wide awake state of cleaning and organizing everything in my bedroom ( I know that's awful...) is the way to go! H2O is a BIG key to keeping myself healthy in a lot of ways w/o having to DO anything but turn on the tap!!
I completely agree with this video that water is the best drink for your health. Water is the best thing to help rehydrate your body and keep you healthy. It does not have any sugars or anything bad for you mixed into it. As for how much of it you should drink a day that is for you to decide. I think that when people say you should be drinking around eight glasses of water a day that is not correct. Everyone's body is different and everyone needs a different amount of water. Plus, drinking water is not the only way that water gets into your body. You can get water from foods that you eat and from other things that you drink too. Water really does help you lose weight because it doesn't have all of the extra sugars and things added into it like pop and juices do. Now I don't agree that you have to only drink water all day every day to see he results from it. You can occasionally drink other things like juice and pop and still see the health effects of water. Water does have a lot of good side effects to it, but it isn't the best tasting thing all of the time. Sometimes you are craving that sugary drink and it is fine to have those every once and awhile as long as you are drinking water most of the time you will see the health effects of it.
I agree completely that water is the best choice in hydration, but if you are in a high intensity activity with no chance of having a break you will find a simple carb beverage is more refreshing than anything you can grab hold of be it during a competative sports match or intense labour.
Before watching this video, I figured water was going to be the drink that Dr. Mike was alluding to, which I think is great! Now days with so much emphasis on “healthy, organic, natural” I feel like so many companies are doing so well with their marketing campaigns by using those terms and making fancy waters and drinks. I always wonder how wonderful and pure most of those drinks are, especially the fruit drinks. If these fruit drinks, like orange juice or apple juice were really all that natural and pure, wouldn’t every bottle taste a little different? If you pick up an apple or orange and eat it no two ever taste the same, so why does every bottle of “all natural” and “pure” Tropicana taste exactly the same? Something about it makes me feel like all the flavored beverages out there cannot be as “good” as they seem. Water though however I feel is pretty foul proof. I also agree with Dr. Mike’s statement on how he can guarantee people who drink more water or replace their juice and soda drinks will lose weight. I also liked how he highlighted that each person according to their bodies needs different amounts of water, not the typical eight glasses a day for everyone.
Water is a great source of everything because, like Dr. Mike said, we're made up of 70 percent water. I have heard of people saying that they are going to switch from soda to juice to lose weight. The problem with that is that most juices have just as many calories and just as much sugar as the soda, so they really aren't changing anything except for reducing the amount of carbonation they are ingesting. The best liquid supplement for weight loss is, I agree, water. If the weight is still not coming off, then they will have to look a little deeper into their eating habits and the amount they're moving and burning on a daily basis. I really enjoyed learning about your elixir, Dr. Mike.
I have a hard time drinking plain water, so I'll usually add a teaspoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar just to give it a very slight flavor and I'm able to drink a few liters of this stuff a day, which helps when you don't have a colon #ostomy =)
Actually, I had to stop drinking so much water because I was diluting electrolytes. I would buy 1 gallon jugs for the day, each Sunday. I eat pretty well too
Of coarse water is the best but what is a good way to continue drinking water when you aren't really feeling it? Water becomes a boring taste for many and that is why they decide to drink all of the other options. Along with that most athletes have sports drinks instead of water for the electrolytes not just the hydration factor. Does that make a difference or is water not far behind those drinks in that aspect.
I drink a lotta water, like half a liter for every hour that I am awake and I always feel thirsty! I drink so much water when I'm awake and then sleep for 8 hours or less and when I pee after waking up my pee color is orange!
As everyone already knows water is the best drink for your body. It was put on the earth for that reason exactly. It is not full of sugar, or fat. It actually can make you lose weight if you cut out the sugary drinks and drink water instead. There are so many good things that water does for the human body. Water is good for skin, kidneys, heart. People who drink water have better health, lower rate of heart disease, diabetes, lower cholesterol. I agree that water is the best liquid a human could put in their body. It reduces headaches, rehydrates, help bowels stay regular, and reduces fevers, diarrhea, kidney stones, even the best cure for hangovers. Overall, water is here for a reason. If a person wants to be healthy water is key.
Unfortunately, many cities and areas don't have safe drinking water, including my own. I am on well water and nearby cities have terrible tasting drinking water. Too over treated with chemicals, so buying treated bottled water is the only option.
I love the fact that this man just says that water is the best without putting into account places that people cannot get good water (or its super expensive), and doesn't give them an alternative.
This isn't misleading, but it is shockingly incomplete. There are a whole host of herbal teas which are measurably more healthy than plain water because of antioxidant quantity. Juice from tons of things are more healthy than water, assuming that you don't throw the fiber away or add sugar. Then if you call a smoothie a drink (which it is), you can have thousands of recipes which are healthier than water. Some simple options to prove my case? Hibiscus tea, lemon water and green smoothie. While water is good for you and necessary, it is nutritionally flat. Water + Antioxidants + phytochemicals + fiber is far better.
Sure, love the stuff. Now all I gotta do is find some that doesn't have industrial waste product deliberately added to it. I sweat an immense amount working outdoors in the tropics and thus I drink well over twice what the average Joe does. Is all that extra Fluoride helping my teeth twice as much or just poisoning me twice as much? What happened to informed consent?
wow I feel stupid for watching this I drink pH perfect water everyday. was hoping for something better but it's okay good video people need to be promoted or reminded about their health because there's too many things drinks Foods ect. it's easy to forget about what you need. and it's even easier to forget about your health.
