Unfortunately I can’t stand the taste of water. I barely stomach it. I know nothing is as good as water but my question is if I don’t drink as much water is Gatorade a good alternative?? If not is there any other good alternative??
Is it okay that I go 8 hours without water every day?
@@davidbabcock1231 have you tried flavouring your water? You can use fruits or fruit teas, or sugar free cordial, maybe.
As someone who drinks a lot of water for no reason, this video is amazing, thank you.
As someone who rarely does... damn
@@ileryon4019 it's good good for & your body, your liver & kidneys & brain.
@@MrJamiez and it tastes nice if you live in some towns

How much?
Education. The absolute BEST thing humans can do for themselves. This channel is great for that!!
True. You don't want to go through life ignorant.
@@rosswilliam2472 But then Why so Many people do??!!!! 😫😕
Ignorance is the worst disease.
@@swiss8654 A lot of them are willfully ignorant.
@@swiss8654 ignorance is bliss
Thank you so much. I'm 74 and just learning how my kidneys work. I feel responsible for living my whole life in ignorance but it's not all my fault. There's a culture of ignorance in the US to keep us stupid, obese and needing prescription drugs. Now I see the light and plan on helping my family and others to do the same.
So inspiring! All we can do is learn and then lead by example:)
Ignorance is a weapon. The public is dumbed down purposely.
"Culture of ignorance" is so real.
Indeed, and it's scary how ignorant many nurses/doctors/surgeons are. There is also such a thing as drinking TOO much water. I wound up in the ER twice in two months due to serious dehydration. First trip, I spent two days there, and finally told them to send me home because they didn't do any of the tests they promised.
Second trip, different hospital, the nurses and doctor kept telling me I need to drink more water, even though I kept telling them I was drinking 8-10 32oz glasses of filtered water a day! They also said I was deficient in at least 8 different essential minerals. Finally just did my own research, and turns out I screwed up. If you filter your water, make sure to get some sort of supplement to replace the vitamins/minerals that are taken out. Lemon, ACV, honey, black tea and things like that are great, but it's not enough.
I am not very activate due to physical disability, so there was no reason to drink that much. In fact, it was likely flushing many of those nutrients out, which in turn were never being replaced. Also, it can be hard on certain organs(kidneys/liver, etc) long term drinking that much, as they never really get a chance to rest.
I was hospitalized due to hyperthyroidism, gerd, and anxiety. During the first few weeks of treatment, my doctor asked me to stop caffeine intake and other beverages too. Since then, I have learned to love water. It's been more than a year of just water and juices.
It turned out GOOD for you in the end... right? Juices are awesome for you to include essential Electrolytes and Salts.
@@gracien2008 Yes. But I'd likely settle in water and fresh fruit juices since I have discovered I have IBS (though not duagnosed, but looks like it). But all is well. Bringing water around is such an essential. I no longer have dry skin, too.
@@hellouu was caffeine a huge contributor to your anxiety?
@@JM-iw2if Indeed, it was. While I'm not a fan of caffeine, coffee in particular, I get really bad anxiety whenever I decide to consume even just 5 - 6 sips. It was always bad that I would throw up.
@@JM-iw2if absolutely! I stopped after about 15 years of drinking coffee, I’d have 2 cups a day MAX. I had pretty annoying withdrawals for 3 days. You just feel very groggy. You wake up with much more energy and sleep much better. You fall asleep quicker, and another major thing for me was my heartburn was completely gone! My stomach felt better too, coffee is very acidic so if you drink it on a empty stomach like I would feel like my stomach is burning. The only thing I miss is the taste and how it’s can be used as a diuretic. It helps a lot with constipation. After a while you’ll realize you do not need it. Now I avoid caffeine, I just don’t need another addiction sad to say.
For anyone who wants to drink more water, this is the method I’ve come up with. I always keep a large cup or bottle of room temperature water near me and can determine if I need water by mouthfeel, such as the thickness of my saliva. Then, when I drink the water, I chug until my body tells me to stop. It’s amazing how the body knows exactly how much it needs! Sometimes I only feel like 2 or 3 gulps and sometimes I feel like chugging the whole glass. I’m sure this is obvious for some people but I only really discovered this in my 20s.
Same
Same here
I was a runner through high school and that's the only reason I learned it earlier. Most people don't really consider how their body tells them what they need, it wasn't until I was running 6 miles that my mind had the time to process how each thing affected my body. I can easily say that our 20s are the discovery stage.
The issue is, when you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. It's better to sip all day than to dehydrate then quickly rehydrate all through the day. Of course, the latter is better than going into the next day behind on hydration!
Best water to drink is structured water
Drinking water while watching this, feeling healthier already
You again. Why hello there old friend.
Ya yah...😄😄
.
hello again, I see what you mean, I did too, and damn it feels refreshing
Wow 👏 you really get around
During lockdown, all of a sudden, I got into the habit of drinking 7-8 litres of water. I lost 9 kg without any exercise. I went from 98 to 89 kgs. And it has stayed with me to this day.
7 litres? In lockdown too? That's very very bad, I'm surprised that you are even alive. Maybe you meant 7-8 cups of water
@@SamiiRSMT Not cups but litres. Yes I have to use toilet very often then. But I am very much healthy now and back to my 15 yrs back weight. Tough now I am drinking around 4 to 5 litres depending on the climate.
Were you on a diet as well?
@@melisozbek1776 Nope. Just the regular home food, mostly veg.
is it. okay? because i've seen it somewhere where you can't just drink more than your body needs.
I used to drink a lot of water, but this year I drastically drank less water then I was used to. I noticed that my allergy started to act up. I'm drinking more water now and I notice now that I feel much better 😇
I struggle to drink enough water daily, hopefully seeing this helps
Having the right containers for you could do the difference between always having water on you and not, it really helps to have a large water container in arms length that you can drink out of in areas where you're very stationary, and a smaller one that you could carry around
It's up to you on what you do with that information.
I drink water a lot. Even when I am not thirsty. 😂
@@MrJamiez Me too🤝 dude...😄😅
@@MrJamiez I wish I could do that, I can’t stand water
Me: drinks water
My body: pees it out right away
Me: bruh
Saaaame😭
Adrenal stress!
😂
Yeah. Why does that happen
Lol that's always annoying!!! I gets better the more you drink water though. You just have to get to that point where your kidneys "adapt" to your elevated intake of H2O.
I just started drinking more water about a week ago. There have been two days of relapse, drinking the same old soda and coffee. I've had issues drinking water since about the age of 14 or 15. My father was always gone overseas working and my mother for some reason would keep the house stocked with soda. We had well water but it was horrible (tons of sulfur) unless the filter was cleaned and since my father was always gone for months at a time, the filter was mostly green and nasty. So, I drank loads of soda and it became the new normal in life for the last 25 years.
There have been a few times where I have quit drinking soda but would fill the gap with juices, more coffee, and teas. I would lose a ton of weight during those periods of time, however, someone down the road after a month or two would offer me a soda at a party or at work and the process would start all over again.
Basically, I have been dealing with headaches for MANY years and many other issues like heart palpitations, body aches, fatigue, etc, etc. I decided to start research since doctors were not helping and figured drinking more water is the solution, and so far it has been! All the doctors were just trying to medicate, not a single one thought to look at the bags under my eyes or my weight and ask how much water was being consumed.
Soda…that’s a tough one. Very addictive. Kinda like smoking. I don’t smoke. Luckily. I only drink soda when I really crave it. But I try not to drink it at all. I do drink club soda. Sometimes I need the carbonation. Gook luck with your health
Headaches may be an indicator of chemicals or toxins in u r system? Try putting in a tsp of bentonite clay in water.
Try drinking mineral water, it goes down so much easier than water. If you’re craving soda mix mineral water with a bit of your favorite juice.
Glad you're doing better, and yeah, the medical world in general is a joke. There's a reason for that. But like you, I drank TONS of sodas in younger years, along with coffee. I was a driver for 10 years and it got to the point I would go through 2-3 44oz's a day while working, then another 6 pack at home. Almost NEVER drank any water for the first 30 or so years of my life.
It really screwed up my body, especially the teeth, stomach, gallbladder and gut. Drinking filtered water with supplements, or lemon juice with apple cider vinegar and occasionally fresh honey has slowly been making a difference, but unfortunately teeth don't usually grow back. :/
I struggle to drink water and my body is definitely speaking to me about it. So funny how things work out. I don’t think it’s a coincidence I came across this video. Certainly wasn’t looking for such a video. Im receiving the message loud and clear. Thanks for the insight on what’s happening internally! I needed this! 💖
Exactly what I was thinking! Get it girl!
Try getting a Hydro Flask or stainless steel bottle, make sure u clean it regularly. I prefer it to have a flip straw to drink from. I add a water enhancer eg, fruit flavoured sweetened with Stevia or I get sugar-free roots Vit C powder packets to add to my water in the mornings or day then at night I get powdered magnesium to add to my water. Little bit of flavour helps me drink 3 L a day no Problem
@@prana1978 this is a wonderful suggestion. Thank you! I have a 32oz hydro flask, but I struggle to finish it in a day. I believe adding flavor to the water would definitely help. I don’t know why I didn’t think to do that 🤦🏾♀️. I’m putting it on my shopping list now. And, thanks for suggesting the magnesium. I take a supplement, but it’s super nasty. Didn’t know they make a powder you can add to your water.
same. i sometimes dont drink at all in a day. some days i drink no more then a shot worth of water. some days i drink up to 6 bottles of water (750ml bottles). generally i will manage to get thru 1 bottle tho
Noted
I love the fact our bodies know exactly what their doing to keep us alive. I'm so impressed! Like that you also touched on the importance of water, salt and food as well. Love these videos
I definitely appreciate my body which is why I started taking better care of it.
Let me give myself a hug 🤗
God intelligently designed the human body. It is very impressive indeed.
I totally noticed how I was experiencing two different types of thirst. Sometimes just plain water is enough but sometimes I need water AND food to finally feel good. Your body is balance. It’s water and nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis.
You mean sometimes you need to sip/drink water while eating your meals?
One thing, as we age the sensation of thirst diminishes bear that in mind.
I was vomiting a lot last night and wouldn’t stop shaking even when there was nothing left in my stomach to vomit anymore but it wouldn’t stop, I was on the verge of passing out if I kept on puking. After the fourth time I puked my mom gave me medicine and I took tiny sips of room temperature water and after drinking water in tiny portions I stopped vomiting and could finally fall asleep. And now here I wake up after all that to a video about the importance of water.
awwe i hope ur feeling better
I had the same thing happening to me but it was diarhea for 2 days i couldn’t drink or eat even sleep,i really thought i had covid or my time was coming, i don’t wish it to my worst enemy.
Hope u get better!
Hop u get better
What @Garrison Betancourt said. But after vomiting you kept shaking because vomiting makes you dehydrated, you lose a lot of water with it. There migjt have been another reason too, but this is at least one of them
You explained everything so well in simple terms for all to understand what you're saying, thank you so much.
This was a very fascinating and intense video. I had a kidney transplant and I've been having fluid issues lately. It's cool to know how it all works. Thanks Justin!
This video is helpful to both the regular people and med students of graduate school level. Thank you for simplifying these concepts and making learning more fun
Yeah, definitely informative like everyone says. A little terrifying to process that later stages of dehydration is the start of the body dying. I mean it's basically your body crying for help and doing everything it can to indicate you NEED water. Amazing to learn more about how the body works, thank you so much for making these videos.
I think it might be interesting to include information regarding water intoxication (hyperhydration). My son was hospitalized with this when he was in high school. A good friend's son ended up in a coma and partially paralyzed from it!
The "8 glasses of water a day" is a myth started by Gatorade. The amount of water needed depends on so many factors and usually people should drink only when thirsty.
If you don't mind me asking how much water did he have and did he take any antidiuretic? I'm just asking because its my understanding that its pretty difficult to suffer from hypo hydration because your body will immediately start to get rid of it.
Of course, if you take antidiuretics and then drink a lot of water you are screwing yourself over, but if you don't take any then you really need A LOT of water. At least that's my understanding, not a doctor or medical student, please enlighten me!
@@jajajaime I don't know about OP's son, but I ended up hospitalized from drinking too much water over the summer. I was lucky in that it was pretty minor incident. I normally drink a lot of water (have since been actively trying to limit it and work on taking in more electrolytes) but it must have been 8+ glasses in a few hours for me to get the whole issue started. It was a crazy heat wave and I was sick at the time, so of course I thought I was suffering from heat stroke and kept drinking even more. I wonder if OP's son was on some sort of sports team and was trying to stay hydrated, since him and a friend were both effected?
@@divitiae how does it feel, to drink way too much water? my problem is i dont drink enough so im just curios
@@marinametelskaya3759 for me it was mostly extreme lightheadedness and vomiting. I don’t remember peeing a lot, so I guess throwing up the water was my body’s next best attempt of getting the water out. I also started shaking the longer it went on. I felt tired and even slurred my words. Drink water but don’t be weird about it!
This made so much sense, as a regular person we pick up words of things but never really know their meaning, until we learn, as I have today with this video. It hit home more so for me because when my darling Mummy had a stroke 4 years ago, she'd previously signed the DNR form with other surgeries she had, but to see her in a coma and having seizures was so hard to watch, she did come too from the coma for a few days but was partly paralysed and had slight brain damage, as she'd signed the DNR form the Drs said they'd just keep her as comfortable as they could. Knowing my Mumma wasn't enough getting fluids was heartbreaking, just watching her fade away 😢 💔 😔 😪 love you Mumma, always xoxox
This is my favourite channel on CZcams now - helping me to understand my body is a huge gift, and the videos are so watcheable!! Thank you
Every time I watch one of your videos, I am newly amazed, awed, and inspired with our human bodies and the beautiful intricacy of our evolution. Thank you.
I work in the Plasma donation industry...we see dehydration on a daily basis....I wish we could send this video out as an opportunity to teach...I love your videos...they are very informative, educational and fun
I’m absolutely terrible at drinking enough water, I always have been. I’ve been trying to be more consistent since I’m now pregnant but it’s a constant struggle for me. I’m loving these examples that I can remember and help motivate me to be more intentional with hydration.
Me too I just don't like it I'm trying to force myself to at least the minimum
Same here to both of these
Buy a cute water bottle and stop believing ur bad at not drinking water.
@@Katherine_xs I’m not believing it, it’s just a fact. I forget until I’m really thirsty, and then you’re already dehydrated. I have multiple water bottles 😅
@@ashtonsquires3102Dehydration.😊

I finished my physiology class last semester and I was saying the words before he did
That's great!! 🤍
Let me finish your anatomy 😊
i just finished my anatomy class and it blew my mind how i came across your video and i knew what you were talking about but still learned info that blew my mind anymore. Thank you for your great explaining man , i appreciate you
I don't say this often, but this guy is a great presenter and communicator.
He makes these subjects both enjoyable to learn about and easy to understand. He could really help teachers be better at their jobs when it comes to teaching and connecting with students / people wanting to learn.
I Agree!
Yeah I also find it easy to understand these functions in a relatable way .
I’m sooooo grateful for this video. I rarely drink water. And this just made me grab a bottle of water and reflect on this! Going to build better habits and stick to them
This channel creeped me out at first but you guys are very professional and I can see how beneficial your work is.
People on the internet always criticize CZcamsrs, then they become fans/ supporters. That’s why folks always say “never give up” and “don’t listen to the haters”.
@@MikoWorldwide wow. You have 274k subscribers 😮
Great video! I really love how you explain everything in detail, made few good notes out of your explanation! Thanks for such wonderful videos.
I like the balance of knowledge and simple real life understanding and application. Great job on communicating what can be very technical and making it easy to digest!
Another great breakdown! Thanks.
For me, my lips get dry parched when I’m dehydrated and that’s usually a sign too late!
This video has left me feeling like an expert of sorts 😀. It answered so many of the questions I had, and didn't have, especially about kidneys functions. Thank you.
My son drinks "energy" drinks such as Monster. I'd love to see a video regarding the affect on the body. I've told him the risks and some affects, but he does not take it seriously. He enjoys your content. Maybe, just maybe coming from a source he respects...? Thank you for all your fantastic information.
The most common ingredients in these energy drinks are sugars, caffeine, ginkgo biloba, ginseng or guaranaa maybe some vitamins or minerals as well.
The fantasy is we men think this will make us Thor, the Hulk or superman. But it is not like that. And water can not be replaced with energy drinks. So you are correct about your concern.
@@Sikofu Thank you for your comment. I am primarly concerned with the massive sugar contents. Too much caffeine is a secondary concern. Diabetes is in the DNA and he has tell-tale signs at 25. Outwardly, a big, round, distended belly. Visiting a doctor is another suggestion not important to him. Not good at all.
The effects of those power drinks are devastating. If your son is a minor I cannot see how you allowed him to try it even once.
@@annfrost3323 He is a high functioning, special needs 25 year old with a regular job. He drives his own car whenever and wherever he wants to. I raised him on farm fresh food and clean eating. He definitely "knows" better, but makes unwise decisions. Please don't come at anyone with such an accusatory tone. At the least, it is off-putting. At the most, destructive.
@@annfrost3323 By the way, I don't model those types of unhealthy habits nor have I ever purchased any such drink or soda pop for him.
This was nothing short of fascinating. Have always wondered about all of this stuff and the information was so direct and easy to understand; eloquent.
I use to drink only water but the past couple years I only drank water every once in a while and I finally began only drinking water again. It’s crazy because my skin looks brighter, acne is slowly going away, and I don’t look tired anymore. It’s crazy 😸
"Essentially you're just dying. And you're dying very slowly in the initial stages ..."
Me, a nihilist: yeah but like, aren't we all very slowly dying anyways?
Good health is simply the slowest rate at which you die.

"What does the body even do with it?"
Mine decides to piss it out almost as soon as I drink it.

Me too
I’ve been drinking a minimum two 50 ounce bottles of water since I was 17. People have always been stunned like it’s so difficult or disciplined. But I’ve been healthy for decades as a result. My complexion and age have always looked younger than I am. The list goes on and on. And I exercise regularly too.
How old are you?
@@josh02158815
Very interesting and informative. As one who doesn’t drink water regularly, I needed to see this. I drank two 20 oz bottles today.
I honestly never thought there could be different types of dehydration, thank you! These videos are so informative and entertaining 👍
You really teaches us so well about our body ❤️❤️
You guys are really amazing, greetings from an Italian guy who finds these type of contents highly fascinating and informative..so just keep up the great work!
What an amazing channel!
So grateful for all the educational content you’re putting out there.
Mind-blowing and so satisfactory to be able to visually understand the human body.
Thank you so much🙏🏻 ❤️
I found this video randomly and wow I’m in love with this channel now. What an incredible job and you make it so easy to understand. Thank you so much , I love learning about different stuff and I’m amazed by you. 😍🙏🏻
Thank you!
Since I've been on paternity leave. I haven't been drinking as much water than when I was consistently drinking at work. I am getting a fair bit of acne on my scalp. And I'm thinking it has to do with this.
Congratulations on your new child..
Increased toxins in water has given people adverse reactions, including scalp issues. In the U.K the water companies have added more fluoride...
Love this channel as I believe education is key! You mention homeostasis and balance, so have you ever done a video on the endocannibinoid system?
I have suffered from kidney stones, kidney infections and UTIs for almost 14 years now, and drinking water and monitoring my water intake so I do not drink too much water and I'm also drinking enough is important to help keep myself healthier. I carry a huge gallon jug of ice water with me at home and work to make sure I am constantly staying hydrated. Loving the informative content today!
How was your kidney stones removed? I'm glad you're feeling better.
@@Integrity-Speaks they were removed by ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) sending concentrated shockwaves through my abdomen to break them apart inside the kidney and I had a stent placed in to make sure nothing got stuck afterwards as they passed on my urine
My job required heavy sweating and I experience heavy dehydration and at one point I thought I was loosing my mind - thinking super negative thoughts made me feel depressed..
Dehydration is more serious than people think.. stay hydrated people.
Your job required it? Are they studying you or something?
For someone who has had two kidney transplants, this kinda hits home a little. I'll admit, I have a problem with not drinking enough water but for some reason, I'm never thirsty... I try to force myself to drink but it's hard.
Don't force anything please. Just have a cup of whatever liquid with every meal around 3 times a day you should be fine. This whole notion that you have to drink many liters a day is sounding crazy to me. Its unnecessary unless you are sweating profusely doing physical work.
I think you deliver education brilliantly. The human body is truly a miracle in itself. Thank you for these videos.
All your videos are so informative and interesting, I appreciate the use of the cadaver specimens to show us how fascinating the human body is.
thank you for sharing
I drink a gallon throughout the day, I sweat a lot. Last July I ran a half marathon and didn’t drink enough water I was severely dehydrated at the end. As I was showering I got lightheaded, the room felt like it was spinning, I started seeing black spots in my vision and had intense muscle cramps and spasms. I felt sick for the rest of the day.
Electrolytes are not in water. You need minerals, salts and fat. Stay healthy
I've had these same symptoms before, then I started buying those electrolyte tablets and drop them in my water bottle. Never had the issue again.
Thank you for focusing on this! I never drank enough water until I started taking lithium and had to monitor my hydration levels. Happy holidays!
The way he says "So, what's happening to the body? Essentially you're just dying and you're dying very slowly :D" 😂😂 Love this channel!
Right?! When he said that I thought “We’ll d*mn. That was blunt.”
Thank you to share your knowlege with patience, simplicity, assertivity! I'm glad for your class!
Thanks for doing this video. What you are saying matches up directly with what all of my doctors tell me, and that is drinking tons of water. I have Lupus Nephritis and to keep my GFR between 40 - 45, I carry water everywhere I go. Another added benefit is water consumption helps with headaches. Instead of taking a tablet, I will first drink a bottle of water. Often that is all I need to get rid of the headache.
So true about hydration as a cure for (some) headaches! A large glass of water can also relieve constipation.
Was literally researching this because my family has a history of Kidney function issues and how to prevent it early on to slow damage. Love your videos. Very informative!
I hope you get all figured out.
@@rugged2050 For the most part. Lol. Just have to be sure to drink water regularly. My family is not keen on that. The kidneys don't like to be dry is what I gathered. Eat healthier so they don't have to work overtime and try to stay stress free....again something my family has too much of...lol
I love all your videos, they’re so fascinating, thank you. You mentioned crying as a form of losing water and I just came here to say a video on explaining step by step what happens to trigger crying, while we cry, and what’s going on afterwards would be fascinating
This should be a required learning video for someone with severe CKD and or kidney transplant. I just had my second transplant and I know a lot about how the kidneys work and my doctors are always telling me to drink tons of water, but I've never seen a visual like this and never known the nitty gritty details of why and how being dehydrated could really hurt the kidneys. Very educational!
I would have been very interesting to expand on the symptoms of dehydratation, in the same way you explained how the body manage its water.
I love this channel so much! This video was really cool to see how the body reacts. I have to get back to drinking more water lol
Fascinating, thank you 💕. The human body never ceases to amaze me 🤯
So, this has me walking to the refrigerator to get water because I have deprived myself for a few days of it. Instead I've had teas and soups. Thanks for this video. It's informed me more than I knew.
This is fascinating. I’m a kidney cancer survivor and have been super curious about kidney function.
Congratulations on surpassing that, you are capable of everything
Glory to God. God Bless in Jesus Christ Name Amen.

Seeing this 1 video was enough to make me subscribe. A&P is still a favorite of mine. I love learning about our amazing bodies. Thank you!
WOW - what a great video, thanks very much. You really are a fantastic educator and as Dr. Joe Dispenza said, there is lots of research that if we understand WHY we are doing things or HOW they are working, whatever we are doing will be more effective with longer lasting results. I absolutely love how you have so brilliantly demonstrated the importance of Water for the brain as so many people don't make that connection. I am always talking to my Parkinson's community about the importance of water and will share this video with them now. Have just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to learning more from you. All the very best, Irene from Ireland X
Would it be possible to do a video about iron deficiency and anemia? I’ve suffer from anemia for years and always wondered what effects it’ll have on a body
Hello, I recently went mtb riding and had a fall which resulted in the wind getting knocked out of me. Since then I have started to wonder what really goes on during that process. Is it in the lungs or the diaphragm?(or something else entirely!) Thank you for all the great educational videos and I wish you the best of luck!
As someone who sometimes will go a day or two without drinking water, thank you
Jesus. A day for me is like a month
@@UlyssesM same. Sometimes i think about how i probably drink lip a sip or two to swallows like an ibuprofen. A drink maybe a full cup a water twice a month
@@jkjw_ how are you still alive 😧
@@spilledsoju03 other drinks contain water as well as some foods.
@@arrianne311 Well that person does drink water then don't they? There is no difference if it contains mostly water its water.
I’ve never been able to drink enough water, I just don’t get the urge to drink water very often. It’s a daily struggle and sometimes I don’t drink any water in a day. I do drink water, but nowhere near enough, and when I try forcing myself to drink more water daily it doesn’t last very long before I forget again
I haven’t found anything to help yet
I was recently admitted to hospital with low Hb (mine got down to 60 😭) and dehydration amongst other problems. My transplanted kidney was in REALLY bad shape. 3 days of continuous IV fluids and 1.5 bags of blood later, and my kidneys are VERY happy.
Be kind to your body ❤️
Could you possibly do a video on the ligaments and joints in the ankle and cover ankle sprains? Ive recently sprained my ankle and three days later it's still swollen and bruised. I'm curious about what's going on in there. Thanks for the awesome videos! I enjoy your channel very much!
Excellent video, extremely valuable information here, thank you for sharing the facts so eloquently.
I love this channel man, it's so perfect in many ways. Thanks
I drink water with fruit or veggies in it. Cucumber, peach, carrots and pears are some of my favorites.
As a consistent plasma donor, I have seen the benefits of proper hydration. The regeneration of my plasma goes faster and the plasmaapherasis process also goes faster. Not to mention without proper hydration a donation may become problematic or impossible.
This channel adds priceless value to humanity, we appreciate you guys! ♥️👏🙏
Quite possibly saved my life. You deserve all the good things. 🙏🏽
I have a glass jar I keep full of water and have etched every 300ml of water on it. Every 3 hours I drink 300ml and it seems to keep me from making frequent restroom breaks, but also prevents me from experiencing dehydration. Took a little experimenting to figure out the right amount to drink at a time, but I eventually found it and now I keep that jar with me pretty much whenever I can and make sure to drink from it when I need it. I still don't account for other things I may eat with water content such as fruits and vegetables, but for the most part it has worked so far. This is all coming from someone who used to drink soda all the time and now I can't drink anything relatively sweet as it is just too sweet for me now. I also had constant headaches due to caffine and lack of hydration. Drinking water has definitely helped me out of that situation, and made me realize just how much sugar is in our drinks and foods these days. WAY too much, I mean seriously is the sweet tea at McDonalds supposed to be tea, or is it sugar water with a hint of tea flavor that usually you never taste?
Smh so true tho.
For normal healthy adults, it is best to drink according to thirst for hydration needs. Overhydration has become as much a problem as dehydration nowadays due to people thinking they need to drink more water than their body actually Needs by being told to drink a certain amount even when not thirsty. Over a long period of time of drinking too much can cause people to lack the ability to properly hydrate since they are water logged and it can cause even more thirst thus further complicating the process.
honestly ive gotten a habit of drinking water alot recently, cuz when i was younger, i prefered to drink alot of fizzy drinks lol, drinking water is actually very nice and im very lucky to have alot of it.
Please start making podcasts!!! I would love to be able to listen to your content while driving, cleaning, etc.
I love this. Thank you for making this information free and easy to understand!🙏
I have always thought that i need to drink so much water than really required and i always kept stuffing myself like a turkey on Thanksgiving. But this taught that i dont need to do that. Thank You! I love you vids they give so much information even though i am already learning science at school!😃

@@trueg115 Yes! A girl from my highschool DIED from drinking too much water! She was a really good kid and she never drank alcohol&had never gotten drunk in her life before. So one evening after school other kids decided to play a drinking game, with alcohol of course but since Stephanie didn't drink she decided to play with water, to take shots w water instead of whiskey . The fact that the other kids were taking shots of whiskey and she didn't necessarily take any more shots of water than the kids that were drinking whiskey. Unfortunately she died that night. It was a pretty big deal in our town when it happened.
@@WarmongerYT wow that's horrible. It goes to show how a gap of lack of knowledge on a subject overall can have damaging effects. The idolized view of over consumption of water thats in the culture makes it more difficult for people to innately know its not good to drink too much. Im just as surprised at the amount of whiskey they would have been drinking
Medicine sounds so alien and complicated to us, yet you show us it’s really not. Determining hydration through something as simple as a “stretch sensor” is genius!!! THANK YOU for bringing this to us.
It is all the Supreme Designer's Design.

Very well explained as always! Congratulations!
Thanks 🙏 to everyone involved with one a very enlightening video on hydration.
Appreciate the video. For me as a water sommelier I talk all the time about the importance of electrolytes and water. One of the big issues we are facing in the US is that many bottled water brands are nothing else than highly processed tap water where electrolytes are purified out and added back in very small amounts. On the bottle it says "electrolytes added" but they don't tell you really how many electrolytes are added back in. The consumer sees the "electrolytes added" and thinks the water has tons of electrolytes. Therefore I am an advocate for drinking tap or when you want to buy bottled water, look for Mineral or Spring water, where electrolytes are infused naturally by nature in larger amounts.
Again, thank you so much for the very informative video.
Drink real - Be real, because water is not just water
Are not we getting electrolytes mostly from food? Should not be an issue then if there is any in water or not.
I was in the hospital multiple times because I do not drink water as much as I'm supposed to. I won't get into details, but I know for a fact just within these 3 years you could learn a lot from my pictures and medical records on the importance of water. Till this day I do not understand why my body is okay with me going against a natural important instinct of survival.
Not sure id translate you going to hospital multiple times, as your body being okay with you not drinking water…
Maybe it’s your diet
I feel you. I'm literally never thirsty. I get migraines and am tired all the time. But I just can't drink water. It makes me feel sick when I try. Water tastes like pennies. It's weird the idea of needing water but never being thirsty. You'd think my body would signal that it's thirsty when it needs water. But it never does. I'll drink a couple sips a day. Every single day.
@@sarahyork11 The lack of water correlates to your migraines.
@@prettyclassylady6218 probably. I just have a hard time drinking much. Water makes me feel nauseous. I've been trying to add water enhancer to it so I'll drink more. But I'm still only drinking maybe 2 glasses a day.
This channel deserve atleast a minimum of 500M followers because its a life giving channel
Thank you so much guys for teaching the world....more blessings
Great videos man, I'm a NASM CPT and I find this great to watch during my lunch.
I drink quite a bit of water each day, but I lose a lot through sweat, and I don't know why I'm so heat sensitive. I also have frequent migraine attacks and never feel like I'm hydrated enough, even if I'm full of water. 😒
If classes were like this... now I want to learn more about liquid retention
i had to learn these things really quickly when i got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes . they started me on 24 units of insulin a day . now i only need 6 . i started using potassium chloride and salt along with vitamin b1 to control everything . i was near heart attack when i was diagnosed because my blood tests showed that there was pretty much no electrolytes in my body . the seizures and cramps stopped when i started taking care of the electrolyte shortage . my blood pressure is always at 120 over 70 now
also on insulin i need more potassium than normal or else i cant pee at all
this channel is truly amazing . I've watched this to treat almost all the issues i had at my diagnosis . right now the doctors cant believe my good health . but they have to change my insulin type now because the long acting disturbs my liver function . if i have high blood sugars above 13 mmol (no ketones) without insulin i just go for a 30 minute walk to get it back to 5 . this also prevents ketones for forming for up to 4 hours . at the cost of my weight of course
