- This video looks at the vital life-giving substance water and how it plays a role in the health of our bodies.
On average 60% of our bodies are made up of water.
New borns are made up of about 75% water while the average adult has about 60% then we have the elderly which typically are made up of about 50%.
But what does happen if we don't drink enough water? and what are some simple yet effective ways to help us drink the water we need.
Our age, activity, Body Mass index and gender all have a role to play in how much water we need. However the general rule of thumb is about 8 glasses of water for adults.
You might think this a lot of water to drink in a day but thankfully you are not an elephant who drinks up to 200 L a day. While on the other end of the spectrum we aren't tardigrades which can survive several years without water. Humans on the other hand can only last about 3-4 days without water before death occurs.
Research shows that 75% of Americans are dehydrated with places like Australia being up to 80%. You may be asking well why are we so dehydrated?
And although the answer may be simple it doesn't help that we use and lose about 1.5-2 litres of water a day through things like our urine, breath, sweat and even smaller amounts through our poop! So if we don't replenish the water lost, our bodies begin to show signs that it is suffering.
So what are some of the signs of dehydration?
Your urine will become a darker.
Dry skin.
Dry mouth/bad breath.
Dry eyes.
Sickness and staying sick for longer.
Headaches, Diziness, cloudy mind and having a hard time concentrating.
Muscle and joint pain
Lethargic and mood/Irritation
Hunger pains
Did any of those symptoms relate to you? well here are 4 tips to help keep you hydrated.
Keep a water bottle near you.
Eating more fruits and vegetables, like cucumbers!
Add a pinch of salt to your water. (Celtic and Himalayan salt)
Setting reminders.

y @HD SINGH I am 20 years, I have dry skin problem when ever I took shower or I wash my face or body its gets dry and so tight when i rub my face dry skin flaky going down all over place and i overthing and i talk to my self in the mirror like i am talking someone, i hate water i havd kidney problem if i drink 2 or 3 cups water i can't hold my pee if someone in the toilet sometimes i pee in the bed when i am sleeping and i hate when i wake up all my bed is wet and pee at the point i hate myself
I have no liquid ( no juice, no coffee, no water) for 4 days. My only food is one ham on white bun. I feel fine except for dry mouth and dark pee. I will update on 7th day.
Man this is very good information. I used to scoff at 8 glasses of water per day until this week! I was steel fitting a decking in the sun. I felt the sun attacking my body and I constantly was hiding from the sun and drinking water. But I realised my coworkers were pretty much comfortable in the sun. As the day went on and I drank more and more water and it began to digest in my body; I began to be more comfortable in the sun. Until day 2 and 3 where I was really ok in the sun. I said this to one of my coworker and he said yes; but drink water at home and you will drink less at work. Then it hit me how important drinking that 8 glass a day is. Even when you dont feel degydrated; you actually are. And working in the sun is a good test. I then realised that my dry itchy skin was maybe I was dehydrated. And I realised that I just took a bath and my skin is not itching me. Nor the day before. Now I am certain that drinking water; even if you dont feel the need to; is very very very important.
My muscle and joint pain !!!! ….. No doctor ever let me know I was dehydrated ( I never consume water ) I seen this video and started ! One day in and my pain went from a 10 to an 8 overnight. I pray that as I continue to hydrate, I can get rid of this altogether… Thank you so much !! I’ve been dealing with this for 11 years.
Update?
How are you doing these days?
Update?
I was so dehydrated but so tired so I used this for motivation
THANK YOU now I know why I get hungry so OFTEN! ;-;
Are you good nowadays
Are you good Nowadays 👍?????
Yeah
Ar yu gud al deys
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
A lot has changed since I drink 8 glasses of water a day. My skin used to be flaky but it was gone within 2 days. My face is too oily but now it has lessen and not us bad as before. Drinking enough water a day do great wonders on the body.
Not gonna lie, I actually don’t like drinking water. I don’t even drink one water bottle a day, it’s so bad
i hate the taste of drinking water, i only drink water while exercise because that makes it much more easier to do my rutine and i feel my muscles become so much stronger, cause if i know my urine is yellow that means i have 10x harder to do my workout.
@@lemeilleurpourlafrance7946 yeah me too I feel so nauseous when I try to drink it
Cocochanel • you can try drinking water with squash (or water dilute) or you can try flavoured water do you know water can help you to stop over eating
Same :(
When I get thirst thirsty that is what I go for it literally quenches your thirst like no other. Just try adding more vegetables and fruits to your diet then like they spoke of in the video.
Creator is really exist because he provide us enough water to all living beings.😊
"just having 11 cucumbers will get you to your daily dose of water"
ONLY 11 FULL CUCUMBERS? SO LITTLE
I THINK he meant 11 slices of cuc. lol
@@jamesnguyen7069 Nah I'm pretty sure he meant 11 cucumbers, because he showed around that many and also 11 slices to keep someone hydrated for an entire day sounds kinda less
Water is LIFE
So true! And we are water!
LoL... I am totally stealing "that may be why older people have a dry sense of humor." Perfect!
We learned that it helps with mental disturbance! Also didn't realize that their was a Hydration status - this a status quo that I desire to be in high standing of.
I have all of these symptoms! I know i dont drink enough water because i almost NEVER do it. The headaches ,dizziness & cloudiness is an eye opener and i thank you for the helpful information!🙂👍🏽
It's not just how much but the quality of the water that matters. Regular water is dead water that can't hydrate you no matter how much of it you drink.
You deserve to be a huge channel!
Why thank you!
@@101MrHealth Because you motivate us all!!😊😊
i got so scared when i heard that 4 days without water means death, i barely drink anything a day.
This video was meant for me! Thanks for the video!
VERY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW! THANK YOU!
I was my best self when I used to drink like 8 bottles a day 😭 need to get back to that
On top of being very informative, this was so interesting! Especially with the added illustrations which were a really nice touch🌟🌟
Thank you so much I’ve been feeling so dehydrated for the past day or so
Very interesting, informative and helpful. Yes indeed some of the symptoms is what I'm experiencing. Thank you so much.❤
Interesting video. I haven't been keeping that hydrated the past few days and it's kind of ironic since I usually drink water all the time but i've been so busy I forget to have my water bottles with me.
I hate drinking water but will try after this video..thanks.
Yea I need water asap
I have a 60oz jar at work. I drink 2 jars each day. I don’t drink nearly as much water on weekends. I’m thinking 120oz of water 5 days a week should get me through.
Keep hydrated people.
It’s good for your completion too.
Helped a lot 🙏🏼
Thank you for this. I have almost all of this symptoms wow ok cool. This helps. God Bless U.
Staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your health.
Hello . I am 41 years old its not because of this video but is becouse I figured it out on my own I work 12 hours a day sometimes 6 days or 7 days a week . The only water that I was getting was from. A coffee with 2 shots of espresso a day . Not to mention I was drinking lots of beer each day after work I was feeling weak and tired at work I been feeling alot better more strength 💪 just by eating 1 or 2 cucumbers each day with tomato and drinking lots off water also if i eat any kind of food I drink water with it. And I feel great .
My problem is the trips to the toilet 😐
Just got released from hospitsl due to dehydration. Totally not the diagnosis I would have expected.
I don't see why people don't drink water it's so refreshing. I drink so much water I can't go a day without at least 6 bottles of water.
Drinking a lot is good but be careful too much water could also be bad for you
6 big ones??
I did not know we need salt very educational!
This really helped thx for the tips
Thank you🙏🤗

Drinking living water has changed my life! Feeling so alive, energetic, mental clarity!!!
Living water?
@doddsalfa it is restructured water. Full of molecular hydrogen. It happens naturally in Blue Zones. Or you can buy a home ionizer and have endless amounts from your tap.
I don’t know why I never drink water. I have joint pain. My knee crack like I’m 90years old. I always feel tired. Can’t focus. So I hope to change my bad habits. I have very sharp headaches also.
I will try to drink at least 2L a day and see.
Thanks for this
I have been to the gym, pre workout makes you hydrated along with extreme sweat and training I was very dehydrated and unaware of that. My energy plummeted and joins were hurting, now I’m getting back to normal
Don't forget to hydrate
I'm the most important being, got it.
The Dr gave me a blood test yesterday and couldn't get any blood from my vein as I was so dehydrated .that's why I felt so exhausted and told me if I don't drink more I would have to go to hospital
Thank You 🙏🏾
Hii
Very nice video
Why thank you!
Yes
Didn't know about the salt xx
Oh yeah i always doubted water like i dont need it until i feel thirsty.
Well i was sick with the stomach flu and i was making my way to the restroom and i just fell down laid on the floor and slept for 2 hours then woke up and went to the restroom. I wasnt tired at all as ive been resting and sleeping for a couple days. To get rid of this virus.
I am NOT thirsty. I don't need to drink any liquids unless the thirst is urgent. That is rare for me.
Thanks
I bearly drink water.. I have like 1 cup by force by my nan
u will feel it more when u get older
Buy a drink bottle. This will help
@Lurker M Loser
Almost sounds like my brother
Steven Fast Grandmother. Its a word we say in England.
Why I am feeling sleepy from drinking much (not totally too much) water ?
Excellent video, - such good sense - well presented.
Thank you for your kind words :)
@@101MrHealth Thanks for uploading such a gem
Living water hydrates 6xs more effectively than regular water.
I am 10 years old and I had dehydration my symptoms were dry throat diarrhea loss of appetite and I started to drink more water and it didn't help so I had to go to the doctor and the doctor said I could have passed out I was also feeling weak and I feel better now and now I drink 2/3 liters every day if not 8 glasses also thanks for the tips 😁
Your not 10 years old stop lying. No 10 year old writes like this.
I don’t get thirsty so have to force my self to drink.I get cran-apple juice and use 1/3 in a glass and 2/3 filtered water.Was put on diurectics for heart problems,will really cause constipation.
yes
3:53 damn near everyone i came in contact with today lmao
I haven't eaten salt in over 23 years, and my health is excellent
I have high blood pressure would adding himalayan salt to my water be safe
I haven’t been drinking water lately is that why my stomach feels weird lol
In Jainism, in India many monks fast without water and food for 8 days.. And fast without food for 30 days. Also ppl have food and water only between sunrise and sunset
I found that very useful as now I know what happens if you don't drink enough water and how to make myself keep hydrated. Some of these related to me as I have dry eyes, bad breath, darker urine,dry mouth, being sick for longer and also losing concentration. What are the dangerous side affects if you don't drink enough water or is there any dangerous side affects. Please reply anybody or 101MrHealth. Thank you for this video
If you have some symptoms that you are concerned about I would recommend you see your local Doctor ASAP :)
😮wow from torsie
I just need to drink when I'm thirsty
No . Are bodies dont get thursty until and boidly fluids are rrly low but we should have a balance constantly to have a optimal body and life

@@hunchoquavo4386 why don't you consult a doctor
THIS IS WHY ALL THOSE IG THREADS SAY DRINK MORE WATER!
YEAH I ALMOST ALMOST DIED I HAVED SOME OF THOSE EFFECTS
If I were be stay dehydrated for 3 days which is usually when your body shuts down, if I drunk some water while its shutting down, would it be replenished again or will it continue to shut down?
Yes thank you if I don't drink water I will dehydrate
Hello , could you enable the community contribution so , I can translate the video to other languages ?
Hello, I can.
Done!
this monday I went to karate for the first time and it was really hot outside and I didn’t drink enough water. So I was sweating like hell and like near the ending of the training I felt dizzy and my vision got shaky. I first thought it’d go away if I just kept going like a headache but it kept getting worse and I was scared of fainting so I stopped and said “excuse me? I don’t feel so good..” I couldn’t even stand straight and then the trainer told the other students to quickly get a chair and he held me tight and helped me go to the chair and sit on the chair but like the chair was flipped on the floor and I had to sit like that one position where people in yoga do with the ball like they lay down and out their legs on the yoga ball. So he was really kind and he gave me a free bottle of cola because my blood pressure was really low and he said it’s okay because it was like 40 degrees outside and I was really sweaty and I was dehydrated and didn’t drink enough before the training so yeah. What I’m trying to say is it’s really dangerous and it can happen anytime anywhere. Please get help or tell somebody if you’re feeling dizzy or your vision gets blurry. You could even faint. Also, if anything like that happens or has happened to you at a training before, (or ANYWHERE) there’s nothing to be embarrassed of! It can happen sometimes and it’s normal if you don’t drink enough or if the heat is just too much for you. But please, PLEASE drink water before AND after doing sports. Alright sorry for the long text and thanks for reading it hope I didn’t waste your time. (: Have a great day and I love you! 💕
Wow. Thats quite a story!
101MrHealth lol 😄
I was do dehydrated because i have not access for water for 5 days and i was taken to the Hospital from the paramedics
I get hungry often and i didnt know why but now i know why :v
Im watching this because i want to know how much days i have until i die of dehydration , im already at day 2
During winters I forgot drink water so I will keep care of myself
I need to drink more water for sure i exercise on the regular but dont drink enough water to replenish the amount of sweat i release
Try Gatorade too. Has electrolytes
@@ptrekboxbreaks5198 Gatorade is not good
Okay so I haven’t drank water long time because I don’t like it but my urine isn’t dark and I do notice I needed to pee more
Is it normal to drink 5 liters in 24 hours then don't get thurst even eating 2 bags op chips and a lot chocolade and passing 2 days without water
Salt, salt and more salt. If you have cut out all processed foods you need to add a lot of salt to your food and water. Drinking a lot of water will actually make things worse if you are low on sodium.
My dad literally doesn’t drink water. Not an exaggeration. He exclusively drinks Diet Coke. And I mean absolutely no water. I’m worried for his health.
What if I like to drink water to wash down the food if I end up drinking too much water from doing that if I'm hydrated?
Don't eat then you dumb animal
Wow I did not know I had to drink water
🤨 So I have an issue. I can consume A LOT OF FOOD. However, if I drink a bottle of water really quick it makes my stomach uncomfortable and extremely full. I hate feeling full of water and the water sloshes in my stomach...
I’ve only drank one cup worth of drink altogether today that’s it I literally can’t put the water in my mouth, I feel so sick after I drink it and it’s so bad but now I feel all dizzy and my joints hurt I can’t move them properly.

What is the pH level?
WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING VIDEOS. BE HONEST . ? I RECOMMEND YOU KEEP PUSHING YOUR VIDEOS. I ENJOY Your CHANNEL.
All fruits and vegetables? What about carrots? I find them to be quite dry.
I thought so too! Carrots don't taste that watery. However surprisingly, carrots are 87-88% water!

Our bodies seem to adapt to dehydration. I bet 80 pc of Australians don't feel dehydrated, and nor do I. Really struggling to change my own behaviour and my children's in the midst of a busy life.
Water reduces acne
No wonder why i have diarrhea ;-; and muscle aches im just gonna drink alot of water

i learned my teacher made us watch this
what happens if we put suger rather than salt
Drinking water is no fun for me, but I promised myself to drink enough water.
Salt? That one I didn’t expect.
I hate drinking water
It's a struggle! Hope this video helped?
Same here
When I’m dehydrated and don’t drink enough water I get fatigue and nauseated I feel very nauseous
So WATER not "fluid"? Like many folks I drink coffee & tea and milk but little water. What wrong with that?
I've just started to do a rehydration rehab program for Myself. I was merely drinking coffee, teas and milk sources of liquid intake but despite some of the beverages that are made of water aren't as cleansing to or hydrating as water. I am hoping My rehab will go well and improve My health. I'm just a week into My program and I will keep going.
