      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.

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.

    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.

      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. :/

    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.

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!

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

      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!

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 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!😃

      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.

      @@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

    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

    That was fascinating. The human body is an incredibly complex system of factories, machines, and communication systems.

    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!

    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!
