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.

Drink when thirsty Eat when hungry Sleep when tired Breathe when suffocating Smile when happy Cry when sad

I’ll never forget my coworker came to work - young girl She says to me “I’ve been on this gallon a day water cleanse I feel so terrible.” Once I explained she was flushing her body of all electrolytes and salt and the stuff our body needs, she understood how all that water was doing the opposite of what she wanted.

It seems like everything that we do is wrong.

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 !

I believe adding Celtic sea salt, which is a great source of electrolytes, to water, along with a lemon slice, is a great way to hydrate. I’ve suffered from kidney stones for 20+ years. I’ve been stone free for 5+ yrs now, by doing this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fruits that high in water will replenish your electrolytes. True hydration!
-
My proposal for the headline: Drinking water is the best way to stay hydrated if you are thirsty. Thank you for all the helpful information.
-
"I'm not against water. I drink water, I think you should too." Excellent advice.
-
"8 glasses of water is hard to do!" - says the person at the bar drinking 7-9 glasses of beer lol
-
11 minutes and no solution to how to properly hydrate.

Word of warning. I had a coworker who was a super jock. This was in Florida. He was out riding a bike and drinking lots and lots of water. Because he overdid it, he fell into a coma for seven years before he died. It was a terrible loss. Dr. Berg is making a very important point. Heed it well.
-
I only eat when I am hungry and drink when I am thirsty. This is the lesson I learned from Dr. BERG. I am just doing perfectly fine.
-
after being in the hospital for a sepsis infection, I was told to drink lots of water! Which has helped greatly!
-
I went from drinking 2 bottles of water to 4 1/2 or 5 a day. I can wake up easier now, I have more energy, I'm nicer, and my skin looks so much better. Everyone is different, so you have to do what is best for YOU. Great video Doc

I listen to Barbara ONeal’s podcasts and find them very helpful. She’s from Australia, a lovely woman with I think ten children. She was talking about drinking water and she said exactly what Dr. Berg said. She suggested to chew on a few grains (or crystals) of Celtic salt, which is known to be very rich in minerals, before drinking water and that will help the water to be absorbed into the cells. She said magnesium is known to be a thirsty mineral that will absorb the water into the cell. Doctors don’t give you this kind of information. I learn more from watching Dr. Berg and Barbara, as well as from reading comments (oh yes) than I do from doctors.

I’m a roofer in Florida. Tried everything over the years. Now I make my own. I put 12 ounces of water, 1/2 tsps of salt, and pure lemon juice. Mix it up good. I drink 4-5 a day and I’m good to go

You have the gift of teaching…I love how you explain cell permeability. It makes it easy for even children to understand. Thank you for all you do to educate others in health and well being.

Such an awesome video with important facts. My first time watching a year later. I had a cousin ending up in an ER a few years ago, related to drinking too much water. What I love about Dr. Berg is his repeated information in videos; started me making sure I get electrolytes daily. In foods when possible. Thank you Dr. Berg.

im glad you pointed this out as we are often told alot of rubbish which goes against the grain. ive often had problems drinking water and you get alot of pressure from people who think they know better but they don't know at all. its interesting to understand how the cell electrolytes work. that's what its all about. great advice as always thank you.
