I gave up about a month ago, I can’t believe I was drinking poison daily for so long. Bottle of wine, beers, whatever, each night nearly, horrible idea, never again.
I’ve been putting a few sprinkles of Himalayan sea salt in my water. I feel so refreshed and ready go afterwards. It’s like I had a full body burst of good energy when I first wake up. My skin seems more dewy and supple since I’ve incorporated Himalayan salt in my diet. ♥️
I have no words to describe and thank Dr Berg….OMAD + keto for almost a month….9 kg off and on the brink of getting rid of blood pressure remedy and statins….gradually introducing low impact exercises….yet, my most satisfying effect of this is the lack of mental fog…fully focused on the activities and routine…

Excerpts: Note for metric cats🐱: 1cup=236grams The average Americano consumes 4.3 cups of water. This is extremely low. Drinks with caffeine, sugar, and alcohol will actually worsen dehydration. The biggest mistake people make when it comes to fluids is thinking they are hydrated just because they are drinking a lot of liquids. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for hydration. But you have to have them in the correct amounts to be effective. The average person who exercises will need 2 to 3 liters of water per day (8-12cups). But, to stay hydrated, you need to add sea salt and other electrolytes to your water. You could also add lemon or apple cider vinegar to your water for additional benefits Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Relative to the amount of water. Alcohol with significant water will still results in a net water gain. You could drink beer in the desert if you were dying of thirst to hydrate yourself, contrary to what old westerns would tell you
Yeah but coffee (ground coffee) has many benefits especially for the brain. I always drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee everyday along with green tea. It keeps your brain active and I've read that it decreases the risk of serious diseases like heart diseases, brain diseases etc. So drinking coffee is beneficial as long as it's not excessive.
Dr berg changed my life I have lost 20kg from the first week of September till 15 November my blood surgar levels don't go beyond 6.5 I've never felt better
I know someone w/ type 2 diabetes. First thing she’ll do if running errands will stop at TB drive thru for a mega size diet Mountain Dew. She justifies it by saying diabetics are always thirsty. I told her to drink more water. Now I learned I should tell her to eat less carbs. It will fall on deaf ears. Not judging. Just sharing. Thanks for the info.
If you're dehydrated from sickness or headache this helps. One big pint of water, half teaspoon salt, half teaspoon sugar and a half squeezed lemon mix with a spoon and drink all. A nurse told me this after a flu. It helps against the headache and dehydration symptoms.
@@buttAttack Soda don't have salt, and way too much sugar and real lemon is better than artificial flavours... Recommend that you try my receipt after flu or hangover. I think my receipt is cheaper than a Gatorade also. Lemon and sugar and salt is available in most homes.
When I was a kid my dad would only buy water and milk. I never developed a craving for soda or anything else. Back in the day I used to hate it but I thank him now. Thanks pop
Yes! My personal trainer had to drill this into my brain! I was working out a lot and sweating a bunch and trying to drink a lot of water to compensate for my sweating but I wasn't absorbing any of the hydration because my body had no salt in it. I was also guilty of under-seasoning my foods because growing up I really thought that all salt was bad for you no matter what. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
I honestly do not know what I would have done through the years without Dr Berg. I credit my good health today as a senior citizen, directly to him. 💖🌿💖🌿
I once had a doctor tell me to drink less water because I was retaining water. Sounded right. Then another doctor told me no, to drink MORE water because water retention was a sign of dehydration! Aargh, I was so confused. (Neither mentioned salt or electrolytes at all.) Dr. Berg made it clear.
not drinking enough water will make your body retain water. Do an experiment with your own body & take note of what you are drinking, activity levels, weather, what you have eaten etc, and observe the difference when you drink enough water for your circumstances. You will love being properly hydrated, there are so many benefits
If you add a pinch of PINK HIMALAYAN SEA SALT to your water daily, it actually has all the necessary minerals needed to replenish hydration so you don’t need all the fancy sports drinks. It also has a ton of other health benefits including detox properties.
Not really. It's mostly high in sodium but you'll be lacking your other minerals. Just get spring water UV filtered and you should be good, and hydrate through food as well
I do drink more water than any other 'liquid'. Everytime I drink other liquids I follow up with water...it's become my habit now no matter what. But I've learnt today why I get dizzy and get leg cramps...my salts need to go up! I need more info on 'electrolytes'...heard about them but not sure how, when and where to get a good combo? If only these truths were taught in school curriculums!
Dr. Berg sells some great electrolyte powder in several different flavors and at a reasonable price. I prefer the tangerine, but that's just me. You just mix a small scoop in your water and you're good to go! My doctor told me to stop drinking Gatorade because it's actually bad for the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. Since I switched to Dr. Berg's powder, I haven't had anymore of the bladder infections or UTIs that have plagued me all of my life. You should give it a shot! 😉
I just got out of the hospital because of severe potassium deficiency.. I had the worse legs cramps of my life. I don't know why,. But I am always low on potassium and trying to figure out how much I need daily. Have your doctor check potassium,.calcium, sodium magnesium.
I've been watching Dr.Berg's lifesaving videos since June of 2022 and have been obedient to his recommendations. Wow! I feel so smart of getting his lectures on how to live healthily on this planet. He's one hero to save humanity.
@@Drberg Hi Dr. Berg, I have a request for ya. Can you create a video on explaining slightly elevated red blood cell count and the reasons for that, like let’s say that you never had that issue before and so what could be the reasons for that. Thanks:) Your video content is reliable. Great job on providing data on to the public.
Thank you for for all your informative videos. How can we prevent the sensitive teeth getting worse when drinking water with added ACV or lemon juice? Thank you
An easy way of knowing you need water. Your mouth can tell you. If you open your mouth quickly, and it makes a soft, smacking sound of your tongue unsticking from the roof of your mouth, you're dehydrated and need water.
The good doctor uses a VERY effective technique of daisy-chaining his video clips, recommending a relevant follow-on clip before each one ends (with pop-up banner link)....this is my third video in a row, having started with a video of oxygenating the blood, then the functions of CO² and carbonated water, and now this.... the clips are all ~7-8min long (a sweet spot of duration for this kind of low-commitment, low-investment viewing).....anyhow, in addition to the quality of content, bravo to how you've packaged and delivered your information. 👍👍👍
Dr Berg. I just wanted to say thank you for your endless commitment to helping people. I myself have lost over 14kg thanks to your videos, your thorough explainations and general understanding of health. Thank you for aiding me, on my weight loss journey.
@@NYCStateofMind7 Hey thanks so much! So basically, I combine intermittent fasting with the Keto Diet. So I do a 23hr fast everyday, absolutely No carbs, i.e Pasta, Bread, Rice etc. With a portion of meat (about the size of your palm) with half a plate of veg. (Green Veg) Sprouts, broccoli cucumber, or a non starchy veg. I always make sure to drink a massive cup of water before and after each meal too. I maybe throw in a handful of Macadamia or pecan nuts too from time to time aswell. Ensure that each meal is considered carefully and is nutrient dence. Check your Macros and what you need on a daily basis (everyone is different ey) It is quite hard at first to break off from the carbs, But the more you do it. The easier it becomes as you become more fat adapted. The clear mind, the energy, is fantastic. Hey and the more you realise and educate yourself with just how much rubbish really is in modern food. The easier it to avoid it. Allow your body to adjust and do it gradually, be nice to your body and your body will be nice to you. And remember, To get something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before. Stick at it and all the best, friend!
Thanks for the calm delivery of simple, healthy advice, Dr. Berg. I grew up without healthy examples. I noticed a decent lowering of my blood pressure and overall health after adding more seltzer to my diet lately. I know the carbonation isn't as healthy as still water, but it is an improvement from where I was. I try to drink a bubbly water 1-for-1 for any other beverage. And then I drink water before bed, once in the middle of the night, and first thing when I wake up. I grew up drinking sugary soft drinks first thing in the morning! That was insanely hard to kick when friends started noticing how much soda I drank. I now have a diet soda perhaps once a month to once a quarter. I can't even stomach sodas or sweets now really. It makes me feel dehydrated and nauseous just thinking about it.
@@Commonchaffinch2 Nothing unhealthy about carbonated water, it's just as good for you as still water as long as there's no sugar or other weird sweeteners or additives. Just throw some lemon and/or lime in it & it actually tastes better than syrupy Sprite.
I find sugar has such an insane effect on hydration for me personally, maybe more than even alcohol. If I indulge in a bowl of ice cream, I can chug a liter of water and still have dry mouth an hour later.
Great Dr Berg, I learnt through my studies and practice from some great nutritional mentors like yourself. One key bit of information on hydration is to understand that everyone is different in size. So a good rule of thumb, while tried and proven, is to drink 30 mls of water for every kilo of body weight. More if hot weather or exercising. This has worked really well for me and my clients as it does not leave you dehydrated or over hydrated. Drinking too much water shifts chemistry and depletes essential electrolytes.
THREE SIPS WHEN DRINKNG WATER Our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallaam, advised us about drinking water in 3 sips over 1440 years ago The purpose of taking three sips of water whilst sitting is: 1) The first sip goes to the kidney, bladder, ovaries, prostate, in order to hydrate the body and rid it of toxins. 2) The second sip goes to the liver, spleen, intestines, pancreas in order to create moisture in the body. 3) The third sip goes to lungs, heart, and salivary glands to aid digestion, circulation and breathing. When standing and drinking, the water instead goes to the knees and other joints in the body, thus creating arthritis
@@Drberg i m unable to get ur product .. there s any other way that i could buy ?? It shows bc of customs clearance unable to deliver it to my country ..
so can we not drink water anymore ? i usually drink maybe half a gallon a day or try to atleast just to feel better , flush toxins out am i doing something wrong ? should i not be doing this ? 😩
A Dr told me a while back to start putting Himalayan Sea salt in my water, just a small pinch. It would help with electrolytes & more. I also use lemon or lime. I have trouble retaining salt & have really low blood pressure. I always used salt on foods & had to even double up on that.
In 2021 I was drinking about a gallon of water a day on a low salt diet. I was sitting in my chair and lost consciousness. When you live my yourself that is very scary. I was probably only out a minute or two and called 911. I spent two weeks in the hospital while they brought my sodium level back to Normal range. I was very, very low on sodium. Like doctor Berg said I was peeing out all my sodium.
Dr. I used to drink 4 yo 5 liters of water over months and I developed hyponatremia. Now I drink 2 liters and add half teaspoon of salt in salads and my hyponatremia got corrected. Your video of previously also helped me a lot of understanding drinking water.🙏🙏
@@anthonywilliams3822 Energy levels will be low. I used to feel some kind of weakness which is unexplainable, eating anything would not give me energy. Only after correction of sodium levels in blood I felt okay.
@@bhaskervm99 4 liters at day? Wooow. I struggle to drink just 1. Im starting to drink the water from all my boiled vegetables, instead of dump it in the sink.
1:12 What happens when you consume things that are caffeinated like soft drinks, coffee, some teas and diet soda: Caffeine acts like a diuretic. Anything diuretic creates more dehydration. Also anything with glucose whether it's alcoholic beverage, coffee, soft drink, juice, is also diuretic. Glucose also locks up fluids as you drink them. 3:32 If you really want to be hydrated you have to pay attention to your electrolyte ratios. Sodium, potassium and magnesium are needed to create hydration. You need twice as much potassium as you have sodium. The amount of sodium is not nearly as important as these ratios. 6:00 The more water you drink the more salt you should crave because drinking a lot of plain water will deplete your electrolytes to a certain degree. So forcing yourself to drink a lot of water (like a gallon a day) without any salt creates a condition called hyponatremia which is a condition where you have a deficiency of sodium in your blood which is very dangerous. 6:29 What hydrates someone is not just water. It's a balance of these electrolytes that go in the cell that help you retain the fluid in the correct amount. 6:47 In order to correct the problem of dehydration you need to consume: • A good amount of fluids • A good amount of sea salt • A good amount of other electrolytes 6:59 The average person that does exercise to some degree should be consuming 2 to 3 liters (8 to 12 cups) of ACTUAL water, not these others things like coffee/tea/alcohol. 7:22 If you're prone to kidney stones and are on ketogenic diet, make sure that your urine is not supersaturated, you can prevent kidney stones even if you're prone to kidney stones. 7:35 Add the sea salt and other electrolytes to the water you drink. Maybe also add some lemon, apple cider vinegar, so you can have the volume of water you really need as well as the real hydration that you need. Thank you Dr. Berg Sincerely, 11 : 11 Meditation Portal Channel
Absolutely fantastic video. Helps to clear some big confusions. Most deeply loved is the care and seriousness of your voice eyes and cadences. The human touch.
I was suffering with kidney stones. Switched to drinking distilled water and have been kidney stone free for a year. I only drink water and unsweet tea.
It's like you read my mind. I was trying to figure out why I was having tremors in my abdomen which is affecting my sleep , so I started looking at my consumption of potassium and sodium.
Thank you for the great info! So important to know! I usually sprinkle a little sea salt in my palm in the morning and take it with my glass of water before even having a cup of coffee. I have eliminated all other beverages except I occasionally have a glass of wine.
I do pee a bit at night, but I figured that’s usually because I drink a lot of liquids along side my supplements throughout the day, including into the evening. Even just before bed. Thank you!
Love this! Root cause analysis didn't make very many friends in the science industry, because they hate science and love money. This is so refreshing. Thank you.
Thanks again, Dr. Berg, for giving us this important information. You explain it so well and you are so thorough! You give the reasons for everything and why something works or doesn't.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! Your videos are really helpful. I drink a lot of water during exercise but still feel dehydrated afterward. Now I know why. Would you mind creating a separate video for proper fasting? I know we lose some nutrients during fast and I don't want to encounter illnesses due to deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, etc. Thanks in advance and bless you!
Dr. Berg, you are a true healer 🙏. Thank you for taking the time to make videos to educate us on how to heal our body from various diseases and live a healthy lifestyle without diets. Intermittent fasting has changed my life. It healed me from High Blood Pressure, Food Allergies, Sinusitis, Snoring and I'm losing weight without dieting😊
I used to work in a nursing home as a dietary cook aid. For the renal diet residents they don't give added salt, nor potassium foods, like banana, potato, tomato, broccoli, chocolate, ketchup, citrus, apricot. But I found out that canned apricot is low on potassium and they still not give it. Also, mandarins are citrus and they give it to them. Also mushrooms, in one book said don't serve while in the next book said serve. It was a disaster.
I bought two water bottles that measure how much water I drink daily, which I count in addition to any other fluids. My former doctor told me the body stores it differently when it has flavors, sugar, caffeine, etc. So I started counting my water intake in addition to everything else.
I would love to see a video on how replacing soda with water does not cause you to pee more but to pee more efficiently. I tried to explain this to people who see how much water I drink and explain to them I'm not always running to the bathroom.
I used to be mildly dehydrated on and off for nearly 2 years and would get headaches from it, now that I've started to try to drink more water so I'll actually be hydrated, I still would get headaches. I eventually found out that I was throwing off my electrolytes (more specifically sodium). Now I have been hydrated more but I make sure to throw a Gatorade or other sports drink into the mix to even it out, and it's working great.
I’m trying to understand, if i like it then its not good for me, however if i dont like it then it’s good for me? If i did everything the doctors told me I would stay home everyday with curtains closed and take all the pills they prescribed and life would suck. I’m a61 year old man, I’m healthy, I don’t use alcohol or drugs, I don’t even take prescription pills unless drastically needed. Not even Tylenol or Motrin.
Thanks a lot Dr. Eric Berg! For this one on drinking water, as well as for all the great information and learning in all your posts, so wisely and agreeably presented.🙂 Once again I felt how important is to listen to your own body. My favorite drinks are coffee, plain water, with lemon, ACV, or the lemon-ginger infusion, but until 15 yrs ago I was crazy about coke + lemon.
I mix water with ACV, fresh lemon juice and Dr. Berg’s electrolyte powder every day, two to three times a day. It’s really good! Thank you Doc for your videos!
i heard an analogy once and have never forgotten it and wonder how true it is... i heard that your bladder is like a sponge. when you have a dry sponge and you run water over it that water just runs right off (analogy for the dehydrated, water running through your bladder that cant hold it well yet) so you pee more when you start drinking water and hydrating yourself as opposed to the wet sponge (analogy for the well hydrated bladder used to holding more liquid for longer) so you dont have to pee so bad once you are used to drinking regularly.
I take a glass of H2O and pinch of Celtic salt with each glass. I also drink a glass of lemon water with cinnamon that I boil reducing 2 cups down to 1 cup. I do drink 2 cups of coffee and then tea in the afternoon. I don't like cold H2O but boil water and drink it warm.
Here are just a few examples of the ways water works in your body: Regulates body temperature. Moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth. Protects body organs and tissues. Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells. Lubricates joints. Lessens burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products.
I live in a tropical country and drink about 8 -10 cups of water. I sweat a lot because of the hot weather. I can't believe most Americans only drink around 4.5 cups.. that's insane! Thank you, Dr. Berg as usual! :D
I live on the coast of Texas, USA. I work a lot in my garden. In our humidity sweat pours out and my wrt shirt has salt rings. The medical quacks tell us not to take salt but that is nonsense.
Most Americans live in air conditioned homes, drive to work in air conditioned vehicles, and work in air conditioned offices. Unless they have a job where they work outside, the only time they sweat is if they choose to.
rock salt is good sea salt I mean its natural iodize salt is bad its not dissolve in kidney the root cause of stone is animal protein not salt western medicine always give false information.
Yeah I'm in Australia and I usually knock off about 4-5 litres on a normal day, and maybe another 2 if its really hot and I'm sweating all day. I know people that when they're hot and sweating they only drink coke, blows my mind.
congrats on 8.87 million subs Dr. Berg~! you are my go to~! and so many others~! thank you for all you bring to the table for us all~! your a gentleman and a scholar as my dad would say.
When I have alcohol. i make sure to drink water or decaffeinated coffee or a herbal tea. And I only gave about 1 serving measured. I also try to have hydrated before I have alcohol. It's silly people have to keep drinking to the point of dehydration. I also don't drink often About 1 bottle of wine a month.
4:50 so true bc with my daughter being type1 diabetic I know that if she has too many carbs in one day she tends to pee on herself at night; the next week we cut out or dramatically reduce sugar and carb intake she doesn’t pee through the night. Sugar causes so many issues. Then with some of the foods we eat converting to sugar it can be hard to get a good healthy balance everyday.
Thank you, Dr. Berg for taking the time to make these very needed and useful life-saving videos for us. Thank you. 😊 Oh...and also, for simplifying all information where we can fully understand. 😊
I drink almost no water. I often get nauseous and/or throw up when I drink water. I have tried tap and different bottled water. All to the same effect. I even filter my water. Why am I having this reaction?
I’m on board with this essential advice- thanks - I’m a regular follower now. Stop consuming sugar and alcohol- start drinking water and fresh food - 2 weeks in , I sort of feel 2 years younger inside. Something I’m doing right then:
I had lost about 40lbs (50 presently) on Keto in about 4 months. It was coming off fast. However, I was giving a presentation 1.5 years ago on Zoom and collapsed in the last 2 minutes of my 30 minute discussion while standing up. It was as if i just zoned out, I told the audience "I dont feel so good" and that's all I remember. I was on the floor for 20 minutes until the EMT and a nurse from down the street arrived. I went to the ER then and 4 other subsequent times always shaking with high BP. I was supposed to be on my CPAP machine but they failed to send a part, so I thought I was ok without it for a month. I have never gotten a straight answer from the medical community as to what was wrong. The ER visits always came back with glowing reports from a wide range of tests that I attributed to the Keto. A1c was 5 (was 6.4 before Keto). My bloodwork was very good, but anything connected with my adrenals was way off (aldosterone, renin, ACTH). As off today, the only thing I can determine (and now, the specialists agree) is that my SALT intake was too low. Thanks for this practical video as always Dr Berg.
@@Ai-yq8rb Endocrinologist told me not to worry about the renin and aldosterone. They were very low, but, they were in the accepatable range. However, my aldosterone is still above the acceptable range. My aderanls could be slightly messed up from years of sleep apnea. Nevertheless, all my other numbers are great.
Very informative videos! You back up my recent introduction to keto very well. I don't usually have time/patience to listen to long, overly detailed explanations, would love to see a ten minute (or less) resumé of your all time top recommendations for healthy diet and natural cures. Cordially, Glenn
I’m glad you continue to make videos ! They are so helpful to show to friends and family members as a friendly reminder to eat healthy ! thank you , you rock 😊
so what is the correct ratio of sodium and potassium? i am confused. there are videos about 4:1 ratio now you are mentioning 2:1. which one is correct? thank you.
Most are under the illusion that health is something that you can fix. Health is life, it is in every decision we make about our bodies, the food and liquids we consume, but also the information we choose to consume, the things we encounter in our lives. Each and every person is a one of a kind. Each needs slightly different things depending on what they consume. That leaves a lot of variables. Yes, we are similar in that most things will effect most people a certain way, like diet and nutrition, but everyone of us is slightly different. Therefore, there can be no one cure. It is a process and a balance. Dr. Berg and practitioners like him are trying to give you the right information to help you realize what you need and help you find your balance. However only you can make it happen 😊 We need 3 main things to survive: Air, food and WATER! It's really a no brainer yet we constantly ignor it. Health is in every moment, every decision, we choose what to eat, drink or do in our lives and the state of our health is the outcome of those choices.
I always add a punch Of pink Himalayan sea salt in whatever I am drinking. It’s not a lot but I have tried this over the last several years and it has really helped. Thank you Dr. Berg
Doesn't Himalayan rock salt contain traces of arsenic, and isn't it classified as a group 1 carcinogen; as in can't be removed from the body, and is known to cause cancer?
@@Cosmo-Kramer What is the difference between table salt, rock salt and sea salt? Rock salt is mined in its solid form, whereas sea salt is produced by evaporating seawater. In the production of table salt, the rock salt is processed and many impurities are removed.
Since watching your videos I have started adding sea salt to my morning coffee. It has helped reduce my light headedness when standing. Thank you Dr Berg for all your helpful information.
I always don’t understand why someone would drink a can of cold soda after a workout when they are thirsty. That’s just gonna make you more thirsty 😂. I’ve found that for myself, drinking warm water with a pinch of salt solves my thirst very efficiently.
This info has helped us so much in the treatment of sick tortoises, we definitely going to NOT use Dextrose / Glucose Nutrient / electrolytes baths anymore for dehydration, I was never happy about Glucose / Dextrose because of Endotoxemia in compromised digestive tract cases, but this makes me even more unhappy about them. thank you so much for your great videos
For an active male that exercises daily and drinks approx. 3ltrs of water a day and has a balanced diet. Is there a safe amount of sodium that can be added to my daily water intake that will not cause any long term cardio issues? From a young age we are taught that salt is bad, so my diet is fairly low in salt. Now I'm even doubting drinking water adequately! Thank you 🙏
Great content Dr. Berg!! Please could you create video, how to be hydrated during sport exercise? During long term exercise (2 hours and more) and during short term. Thank you!!
Doctor.For "your friends In Europe" as you say (by the way, except for the U.S., the metric system is implemented everywhere in the world, including your northerly neighbors)., please please please, be right when converting your units. Fluids are measured not by weight (grams) but by liquid volume units i.e., litres, centilitres and millilitres. To make it short, one cup is 250ml of fluid.
101 days sober from alcohol and drugs, it was destroying me totally turned around my health thanks to Dr. Berg for the help with my dieting!

Drinks with caffeine, sugar, and alcohol will actually worsen dehydration. The biggest mistake people make when it comes to fluids is thinking they are hydrated just because they are drinking a lot of liquids.
Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for hydration. But you have to have them in the correct amounts to be effective.
The average person who exercises will need 2 to 3 liters of water per day (8-12cups). But, to stay hydrated, you need to add sea salt and other electrolytes to your water. You could also add lemon or apple cider vinegar to your water for additional benefits
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Relative to the amount of water. Alcohol with significant water will still results in a net water gain. You could drink beer in the desert if you were dying of thirst to hydrate yourself, contrary to what old westerns would tell you

Yeah but coffee (ground coffee) has many benefits especially for the brain. I always drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee everyday along with green tea. It keeps your brain active and I've read that it decreases the risk of serious diseases like heart diseases, brain diseases etc. So drinking coffee is beneficial as long as it's not excessive.
@fidel catsro. Thank you for your daily service, for people like me.

Dr berg changed my life I have lost 20kg from the first week of September till 15 November my blood surgar levels don't go beyond 6.5 I've never felt better
I know someone w/ type 2 diabetes. First thing she’ll do if running errands will stop at TB drive thru for a mega size diet Mountain Dew. She justifies it by saying diabetics are always thirsty. I told her to drink more water. Now I learned I should tell her to eat less carbs. It will fall on deaf ears. Not judging. Just sharing. Thanks for the info.
Actually, your friend has uncontrolled diabetes. 3 Ps are : thirsty, hungry and peeing a lot.
If you're dehydrated from sickness or headache this helps. One big pint of water, half teaspoon salt, half teaspoon sugar and a half squeezed lemon mix with a spoon and drink all. A nurse told me this after a flu. It helps against the headache and dehydration symptoms.
so drink a soda...
@@buttAttack Soda don't have salt, and way too much sugar and real lemon is better than artificial flavours... Recommend that you try my receipt after flu or hangover. I think my receipt is cheaper than a Gatorade also. Lemon and sugar and salt is available in most homes.
When I was a kid my dad would only buy water and milk. I never developed a craving for soda or anything else. Back in the day I used to hate it but I thank him now. Thanks pop
Yes! My personal trainer had to drill this into my brain! I was working out a lot and sweating a bunch and trying to drink a lot of water to compensate for my sweating but I wasn't absorbing any of the hydration because my body had no salt in it. I was also guilty of under-seasoning my foods because growing up I really thought that all salt was bad for you no matter what. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Growing up in Asia. All salt is good for you unless it's too salty. Didn't salt prevent many diseases?
@@arthurmorganSUN Sadly most white salt here has almost no minerals. Sea salt, Himalayan salt, and colored salts have minerals.
@@arthurmorganSUN
Well, back in the day before refrigeration, they used lots of salt to preserve meats.
@@jenynz5334 the amount of minerals in fancy salts is negligible..food is where u get them from
@@WillyEckaslike I was just saying why white (iodized) salt was bad for us.
I honestly do not know what I would have done through the years without Dr Berg. I credit my good health today as a senior citizen, directly to him. 💖🌿💖🌿
I once had a doctor tell me to drink less water because I was retaining water. Sounded right. Then another doctor told me no, to drink MORE water because water retention was a sign of dehydration! Aargh, I was so confused. (Neither mentioned salt or electrolytes at all.)
Dr. Berg made it clear.
not drinking enough water will make your body retain water. Do an experiment with your own body & take note of what you are drinking, activity levels, weather, what you have eaten etc, and observe the difference when you drink enough water for your circumstances. You will love being properly hydrated, there are so many benefits
If you add a pinch of PINK HIMALAYAN SEA SALT to your water daily, it actually has all the necessary minerals needed to replenish hydration so you don’t need all the fancy sports drinks. It also has a ton of other health benefits including detox properties.
Not really. It's mostly high in sodium but you'll be lacking your other minerals. Just get spring water UV filtered and you should be good, and hydrate through food as well
Celtic salt of Redmond is better
I love my San Pellegrino with lemon🇮🇹❤️🐎 7:37
I do drink more water than any other 'liquid'. Everytime I drink other liquids I follow up with water...it's become my habit now no matter what.
But I've learnt today why I get dizzy and get leg cramps...my salts need to go up! I need more info on 'electrolytes'...heard about them but not sure how, when and where to get a good combo?
If only these truths were taught in school curriculums!
Dr. Berg sells some great electrolyte powder in several different flavors and at a reasonable price. I prefer the tangerine, but that's just me. You just mix a small scoop in your water and you're good to go! My doctor told me to stop drinking Gatorade because it's actually bad for the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. Since I switched to Dr. Berg's powder, I haven't had anymore of the bladder infections or UTIs that have plagued me all of my life. You should give it a shot! 😉
I just got out of the hospital because of severe potassium deficiency.. I had the worse legs cramps of my life. I don't know why,. But I am always low on potassium and trying to figure out how much I need daily. Have your doctor check potassium,.calcium, sodium magnesium.
I've been watching Dr.Berg's lifesaving
videos since June of 2022
and have been obedient to his recommendations.
Wow! I feel so smart of getting his lectures on how to live healthily on this planet. He's one hero to save humanity.
Thank you very much for your positive comment. Appreciate it.
@@Drberg Hi Dr. Berg, I have a request for ya. Can you create a video on explaining slightly elevated red blood cell count and the reasons for that, like let’s say that you never had that issue before and so what could be the reasons for that. Thanks:) Your video content is reliable. Great job on providing data on to the public.
The biggest mistake people make drinking water is that they either drink too much of it or don’t drink enough of it
Lord, help us all! Thank you Dr. Berg....but damned if we do and damned if we don't.
@@allninesandbehinds little too much is fine, not the opposite
Thank you for for all your informative videos.
How can we prevent the sensitive teeth getting worse when drinking water with added ACV or lemon juice? Thank you
An easy way of knowing you need water. Your mouth can tell you. If you open your mouth quickly, and it makes a soft, smacking sound of your tongue unsticking from the roof of your mouth, you're dehydrated and need water.
The good doctor uses a VERY effective technique of daisy-chaining his video clips, recommending a relevant follow-on clip before each one ends (with pop-up banner link)....this is my third video in a row, having started with a video of oxygenating the blood, then the functions of CO² and carbonated water, and now this.... the clips are all ~7-8min long (a sweet spot of duration for this kind of low-commitment, low-investment viewing).....anyhow, in addition to the quality of content, bravo to how you've packaged and delivered your information. 👍👍👍
I drink water, lemon water, no sugar black coffee, kombucha & beer....thk u for the great advice
Dr Berg. I just wanted to say thank you for your endless commitment to helping people. I myself have lost over 14kg thanks to your videos, your thorough explainations and general understanding of health. Thank you for aiding me, on my weight loss journey.
Congratulations 🎉
Could you please elaborate more and share some details about your weight loss journey?
@@NYCStateofMind7 Hey thanks so much! So basically, I combine intermittent fasting with the Keto Diet.
So I do a 23hr fast everyday, absolutely No carbs, i.e Pasta, Bread, Rice etc. With a portion of meat (about the size of your palm) with half a plate of veg. (Green Veg) Sprouts, broccoli cucumber, or a non starchy veg. I always make sure to drink a massive cup of water before and after each meal too. I maybe throw in a handful of Macadamia or pecan nuts too from time to time aswell.
Ensure that each meal is considered carefully and is nutrient dence. Check your Macros and what you need on a daily basis (everyone is different ey)
It is quite hard at first to break off from the carbs, But the more you do it. The easier it becomes as you become more fat adapted. The clear mind, the energy, is fantastic. Hey and the more you realise and educate yourself with just how much rubbish really is in modern food. The easier it to avoid it.
Allow your body to adjust and do it gradually, be nice to your body and your body will be nice to you.
And remember, To get something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before. Stick at it and all the best, friend!
@@ComicCosmic29 thats amazing, how long did it take to lose that weight?
DR. Berg, I heard that you take your weight drop it in half & drink that many ounces everyday, & what abt drinking Lemon Water everyday
Thanks for the calm delivery of simple, healthy advice, Dr. Berg. I grew up without healthy examples. I noticed a decent lowering of my blood pressure and overall health after adding more seltzer to my diet lately. I know the carbonation isn't as healthy as still water, but it is an improvement from where I was. I try to drink a bubbly water 1-for-1 for any other beverage. And then I drink water before bed, once in the middle of the night, and first thing when I wake up. I grew up drinking sugary soft drinks first thing in the morning! That was insanely hard to kick when friends started noticing how much soda I drank. I now have a diet soda perhaps once a month to once a quarter. I can't even stomach sodas or sweets now really. It makes me feel dehydrated and nauseous just thinking about it.
Congrats!!!
@@Commonchaffinch2 Nothing unhealthy about carbonated water, it's just as good for you as still water as long as there's no sugar or other weird sweeteners or additives. Just throw some lemon and/or lime in it & it actually tastes better than syrupy Sprite.
I find sugar has such an insane effect on hydration for me personally, maybe more than even alcohol. If I indulge in a bowl of ice cream, I can chug a liter of water and still have dry mouth an hour later.
Great Dr Berg, I learnt through my studies and practice from some great nutritional mentors like yourself. One key bit of information on hydration is to understand that everyone is different in size. So a good rule of thumb, while tried and proven, is to drink 30 mls of water for every kilo of body weight. More if hot weather or exercising. This has worked really well for me and my clients as it does not leave you dehydrated or over hydrated. Drinking too much water shifts chemistry and depletes essential electrolytes.
THREE SIPS WHEN DRINKNG WATER
Our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallaam, advised us about drinking water in 3 sips over 1440 years ago The purpose of taking three sips of water whilst sitting is:
1) The first sip goes to the kidney, bladder, ovaries, prostate, in order to hydrate the body and rid it of toxins.
2) The second sip goes to the liver, spleen, intestines, pancreas in order to create moisture in the body.
3) The third sip goes to lungs, heart, and salivary glands to aid digestion, circulation and breathing.
When standing and drinking, the water instead goes to the knees and other joints in the body, thus creating arthritis
Dr. Berg, your advice and products have TRULY changed my life for the better. Thank you! So much!
That's wonderful. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it!
@@Drberg you're a real one 💪😌
@@Drberg i m unable to get ur product .. there s any other way that i could buy ?? It shows bc of customs clearance unable to deliver it to my country ..
@@ammu8291 I don’t think Dr. berg has been able to make his products available internationally from what he’s mentioned in previous videos.
so can we not drink water anymore ? i usually drink maybe half a gallon a day or try to atleast just to feel better , flush toxins out am i doing something wrong ? should i not be doing this ? 😩
My mother taught me to drink a glass of water for every glass of wine, beer or mixed drink.
This topic will help a lot of people, Many are Drinking water wrongly. Thanks Dr 🥰🙏
A Dr told me a while back to start putting Himalayan Sea salt in my water, just a small pinch. It would help with electrolytes & more. I also use lemon or lime. I have trouble retaining salt & have really low blood pressure. I always used salt on foods & had to even double up on that.
In 2021 I was drinking about a gallon of water a day on a low salt diet. I was sitting in my chair and lost consciousness. When you live my yourself that is very scary. I was probably only out a minute or two and called 911. I spent two weeks in the hospital while they brought my sodium level back to Normal range. I was very, very low on sodium. Like doctor Berg said I was peeing out all my sodium.
Dr. I used to drink 4 yo 5 liters of water over months and I developed hyponatremia. Now I drink 2 liters and add half teaspoon of salt in salads and my hyponatremia got corrected. Your video of previously also helped me a lot of understanding drinking water.🙏🙏
How was your energy when you had hyponatremia?
@@anthonywilliams3822 Energy levels will be low. I used to feel some kind of weakness which is unexplainable, eating anything would not give me energy. Only after correction of sodium levels in blood I felt okay.
@@bhaskervm99 4 liters at day? Wooow. I struggle to drink just 1.
Im starting to drink the water from all my boiled vegetables, instead of dump it in the sink.
@@aychingao this is actually sound like a great idea. I also struggle to drink water ((
Seriously how could you force yourself to do that? Didn’t you 🤮?
1:12 What happens when you consume things that are caffeinated like soft drinks, coffee, some teas and diet soda: Caffeine acts like a diuretic. Anything diuretic creates more dehydration. Also anything with glucose whether it's alcoholic beverage, coffee, soft drink, juice, is also diuretic. Glucose also locks up fluids as you drink them.
3:32 If you really want to be hydrated you have to pay attention to your electrolyte ratios. Sodium, potassium and magnesium are needed to create hydration. You need twice as much potassium as you have sodium. The amount of sodium is not nearly as important as these ratios.
6:00 The more water you drink the more salt you should crave because drinking a lot of plain water will deplete your electrolytes to a certain degree. So forcing yourself to drink a lot of water (like a gallon a day) without any salt creates a condition called hyponatremia which is a condition where you have a deficiency of sodium in your blood which is very dangerous.
6:29 What hydrates someone is not just water. It's a balance of these electrolytes that go in the cell that help you retain the fluid in the correct amount.
6:47 In order to correct the problem of dehydration you need to consume:
• A good amount of fluids
• A good amount of sea salt
• A good amount of other electrolytes
6:59 The average person that does exercise to some degree should be consuming 2 to 3 liters (8 to 12 cups) of ACTUAL water, not these others things like coffee/tea/alcohol.
7:22 If you're prone to kidney stones and are on ketogenic diet, make sure that your urine is not supersaturated, you can prevent kidney stones even if you're prone to kidney stones.
7:35 Add the sea salt and other electrolytes to the water you drink. Maybe also add some lemon, apple cider vinegar, so you can have the volume of water you really need as well as the real hydration that you need.
Thank you Dr. Berg

I needed this, this morning. Legs are achy from not drinking enough water.
With lemon 🍋 for potassium.
How’s lemon juice?
Absolutely fantastic video. Helps to clear some big confusions. Most deeply loved is the care and seriousness of your voice eyes and cadences. The human touch.
I was suffering with kidney stones. Switched to drinking distilled water and have been kidney stone free for a year. I only drink water and unsweet tea.
Very good. Thanks for sharing your experience.
It's like you read my mind. I was trying to figure out why I was having tremors in my abdomen which is affecting my sleep , so I started looking at my consumption of potassium and sodium.
Thank you for the great info! So important to know! I usually sprinkle a little sea salt in my palm in the morning and take it with my glass of water before even having a cup of coffee. I have eliminated all other beverages except I occasionally have a glass of wine.
I do pee a bit at night, but I figured that’s usually because I drink a lot of liquids along side my supplements throughout the day, including into the evening. Even just before bed. Thank you!
I have the juice, pulp, peel, seeds from one small lemon with one inch raw ginger 16.9 oz water X2 per day.3-4 16.9 oz plain water.
Love this! Root cause analysis didn't make very many friends in the science industry, because they hate science and love money. This is so refreshing. Thank you.
Thanks again, Dr. Berg, for giving us this important information. You explain it so well and you are so thorough! You give the reasons for everything and why something works or doesn't.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg! Your videos are really helpful. I drink a lot of water during exercise but still feel dehydrated afterward. Now I know why. Would you mind creating a separate video for proper fasting? I know we lose some nutrients during fast and I don't want to encounter illnesses due to deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, etc. Thanks in advance and bless you!

Dr. Berg, you are a true healer 🙏. Thank you for taking the time to make videos to educate us on how to heal our body from various diseases and live a healthy lifestyle without diets.
Intermittent fasting has changed my life. It healed me from High Blood Pressure, Food Allergies, Sinusitis, Snoring and I'm losing weight without dieting😊
I used to work in a nursing home as a dietary cook aid. For the renal diet residents they don't give added salt, nor potassium foods, like banana, potato, tomato, broccoli, chocolate, ketchup, citrus, apricot. But I found out that canned apricot is low on potassium and they still not give it. Also, mandarins are citrus and they give it to them. Also mushrooms, in one book said don't serve while in the next book said serve. It was a disaster.
As a Type 2 Diabetic , Thank You for this info on hydration Something that has always been a challenge
I bought two water bottles that measure how much water I drink daily, which I count in addition to any other fluids. My former doctor told me the body stores it differently when it has flavors, sugar, caffeine, etc. So I started counting my water intake in addition to everything else.
The amount of water u should drink depends on your weight, where do you live and how active you are
I would love to see a video on how replacing soda with water does not cause you to pee more but to pee more efficiently. I tried to explain this to people who see how much water I drink and explain to them I'm not always running to the bathroom.
Its simple, too much sugar makes your kidneys work harder to get rid of excess, water doesn’t have sugar.
I used to be mildly dehydrated on and off for nearly 2 years and would get headaches from it, now that I've started to try to drink more water so I'll actually be hydrated, I still would get headaches. I eventually found out that I was throwing off my electrolytes (more specifically sodium). Now I have been hydrated more but I make sure to throw a Gatorade or other sports drink into the mix to even it out, and it's working great.
I’m trying to understand, if i like it then its not good for me, however if i dont like it then it’s good for me? If i did everything the doctors told me I would stay home everyday with curtains closed and take all the pills they prescribed and life would suck.
I’m a61 year old man, I’m healthy, I don’t use alcohol or drugs, I don’t even take prescription pills unless drastically needed. Not even Tylenol or Motrin.
Thanks a lot Dr. Eric Berg! For this one on drinking water, as well as for all the great information and learning in all your posts, so wisely and agreeably presented.🙂 Once again
I felt how important is to listen to your own body. My favorite drinks are coffee, plain water, with lemon, ACV, or the lemon-ginger infusion, but until 15 yrs ago I was crazy about coke + lemon.
I mix water with ACV, fresh lemon juice and Dr. Berg’s electrolyte powder every day, two to three times a day. It’s really good! Thank you Doc for your videos!
keep in mind vinegar (even from apples) is hard on the liver and dehydrates the body on a deep organ level. Consider skipping the ACV :)
@@tony86082 what about having it once a week? Or not at all?
Thank you for the warning! I use about 1 tbs about 2x / day. Is that still too much?
@@KneesToBreeze I think so because of the acid. It’s bad for your teeth. And could harm your stomach. But I’m no doctors
i heard an analogy once and have never forgotten it and wonder how true it is... i heard that your bladder is like a sponge. when you have a dry sponge and you run water over it that water just runs right off (analogy for the dehydrated, water running through your bladder that cant hold it well yet) so you pee more when you start drinking water and hydrating yourself as opposed to the wet sponge (analogy for the well hydrated bladder used to holding more liquid for longer) so you dont have to pee so bad once you are used to drinking regularly.
Great analogy! Now I understand.
@@Ax.DaEdge it may actually have been dr. berg here that said it im not sure i just heard that somewhere in an educational video like this one.
@@mikkihesson3509 That's cool! Thanks for passing it on, nonetheless.
Great day ahead!☉
Where I live, temperature reaches 51 degrees in the shade during summer. we drink water often, 3-8 liters a day.
I take a glass of H2O and pinch of Celtic salt with each glass. I also drink a glass of lemon water with cinnamon that I boil reducing 2 cups down to 1 cup. I do drink 2 cups of coffee and then tea in the afternoon. I don't like cold H2O but boil water and drink it warm.
Here are just a few examples of the ways water works in your body:
Regulates body temperature.
Moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth.
Protects body organs and tissues.
Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells.
Lubricates joints.
Lessens burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products.
Dr Eric Berg thank you so much doctor love from Russia 🇷🇺 ❤️
Get out of Ukraine.
I live in a tropical country and drink about 8 -10 cups of water. I sweat a lot because of the hot weather. I can't believe most Americans only drink around 4.5 cups.. that's insane! Thank you, Dr. Berg as usual! :D
I live on the coast of Texas, USA. I work a lot in my garden. In our humidity sweat pours out and my wrt shirt has salt rings. The medical quacks tell us not to take salt but that is nonsense.
Most Americans live in air conditioned homes, drive to work in air conditioned vehicles, and work in air conditioned offices. Unless they have a job where they work outside, the only time they sweat is if they choose to.
The hospitals are always happy to see another kidney stone patient.
rock salt is good sea salt I mean its natural iodize salt is bad its not dissolve in kidney the root cause of stone is animal protein not salt western medicine always give false information.
Yeah I'm in Australia and I usually knock off about 4-5 litres on a normal day, and maybe another 2 if its really hot and I'm sweating all day. I know people that when they're hot and sweating they only drink coke, blows my mind.

When I have alcohol. i make sure to drink water or decaffeinated coffee or a herbal tea. And I only gave about 1 serving measured. I also try to have hydrated before I have alcohol. It's silly people have to keep drinking to the point of dehydration. I also don't drink often About 1 bottle of wine a month.
4:50 so true bc with my daughter being type1 diabetic I know that if she has too many carbs in one day she tends to pee on herself at night; the next week we cut out or dramatically reduce sugar and carb intake she doesn’t pee through the night. Sugar causes so many issues. Then with some of the foods we eat converting to sugar it can be hard to get a good healthy balance everyday.

I had lost about 40lbs (50 presently) on Keto in about 4 months. It was coming off fast. However, I was giving a presentation 1.5 years ago on Zoom and collapsed in the last 2 minutes of my 30 minute discussion while standing up. It was as if i just zoned out, I told the audience "I dont feel so good" and that's all I remember. I was on the floor for 20 minutes until the EMT and a nurse from down the street arrived. I went to the ER then and 4 other subsequent times always shaking with high BP. I was supposed to be on my CPAP machine but they failed to send a part, so I thought I was ok without it for a month. I have never gotten a straight answer from the medical community as to what was wrong. The ER visits always came back with glowing reports from a wide range of tests that I attributed to the Keto. A1c was 5 (was 6.4 before Keto). My bloodwork was very good, but anything connected with my adrenals was way off (aldosterone, renin, ACTH). As off today, the only thing I can determine (and now, the specialists agree) is that my SALT intake was too low.
Thanks for this practical video as always Dr Berg.
Salt is on of the vital compounds for the electrical signal between synapses to function.
Same with aldosterone, renin, high BP. What do you do now to stabilize all of the above?
@@Ai-yq8rb Endocrinologist told me not to worry about the renin and aldosterone. They were very low, but, they were in the accepatable range. However, my aldosterone is still above the acceptable range. My aderanls could be slightly messed up from years of sleep apnea. Nevertheless, all my other numbers are great.
@idklol1462 i just add sea salt to everything i drink

Most are under the illusion that health is something that you can fix. Health is life, it is in every decision we make about our bodies, the food and liquids we consume, but also the information we choose to consume, the things we encounter in our lives. Each and every person is a one of a kind. Each needs slightly different things depending on what they consume. That leaves a lot of variables.
Yes, we are similar in that most things will effect most people a certain way, like diet and nutrition, but everyone of us is slightly different. Therefore, there can be no one cure. It is a process and a balance. Dr. Berg and practitioners like him are trying to give you the right information to help you realize what you need and help you find your balance. However only you can make it happen 😊
We need 3 main things to survive: Air, food and WATER! It's really a no brainer yet we constantly ignor it.
Health is in every moment, every decision, we choose what to eat, drink or do in our lives and the state of our health is the outcome of those choices.
I always add a punch Of pink Himalayan sea salt in whatever I am drinking. It’s not a lot but I have tried this over the last several years and it has really helped. Thank you Dr. Berg
Pink himalayan salt is stone salt not a sea salt...it is mined from pakistan
@@ZeeshanAkram1976 Though mined like rock salt, Pink Himalayan Salt is technically a sea salt.
Doesn't Himalayan rock salt contain traces of arsenic, and isn't it classified as a group 1 carcinogen; as in can't be removed from the body, and is known to cause cancer?
Yes rock salts are dangerous from first hand experience. It lowered my chloride levels and raised everything other level causing serious imbalance.
@@Cosmo-Kramer
What is the difference between table salt, rock salt and sea salt?
Rock salt is mined in its solid form, whereas sea salt is produced by evaporating seawater.
In the production of table salt, the rock salt is processed and many impurities are removed.
Quite an eye opener this can't be repeated enough thank you once again Dr Berg
Most welcome! Glad you found it informative
Since watching your videos I have started adding sea salt to my morning coffee. It has helped reduce my light headedness when standing. Thank you Dr Berg for all your helpful information.
Adding to salt to your coffee also takes the bitterness out too
I’ve never tried salt in my coffee and in my water. All I use Stevia

I always don’t understand why someone would drink a can of cold soda after a workout when they are thirsty. That’s just gonna make you more thirsty 😂. I’ve found that for myself, drinking warm water with a pinch of salt solves my thirst very efficiently.
I use Himalayan rock salt in my water. It’s an interesting taste.
There's no topic you haven't covered! You are really doing your research. Thank you!
Love what you mentioned about "cure" being almost a swear word in this allopathic medicine driven world
Amazing content Dr. Berg⭐❤⭐
Thank you and have a blessed day! ✝️
I can't believe we have survived this long.
This info has helped us so much in the treatment of sick tortoises, we definitely going to NOT use Dextrose / Glucose Nutrient / electrolytes baths anymore for dehydration, I was never happy about Glucose / Dextrose because of Endotoxemia in compromised digestive tract cases, but this makes me even more unhappy about them. thank you so much for your great videos
I drink 3-4 16 oz bottles of water a 20 oz bottle of Gatorade maybe 2 if it's hot out and I'll have a 12 oz soda with dinner pretty much everyday
For an active male that exercises daily and drinks approx. 3ltrs of water a day and has a balanced diet. Is there a safe amount of sodium that can be added to my daily water intake that will not cause any long term cardio issues? From a young age we are taught that salt is bad, so my diet is fairly low in salt. Now I'm even doubting drinking water adequately! Thank you 🙏
Himalayan Salt is great, no table salt.
@@graciescottsdale Is it a pinch a day or a pinch per litter bottle?
@@jumpintriples Per bottle
1 teaspoon of sea salt per gallon of water.
Dr. Berg can you do a video on all these fancy alkaline waters and electrolyte powders like emergen-c. Thanks 🙏🏾
He sells electrolyte products.
Great content Dr. Berg!! Please could you create video, how to be hydrated during sport exercise? During long term exercise (2 hours and more) and during short term. Thank you!!
Would be lost without you! Thanks for existing and for all your in debt videos of health knowledge. God bless.
Doctor.For "your friends In Europe" as you say (by the way, except for the U.S., the metric system is implemented everywhere in the world, including your northerly neighbors)., please please please, be right when converting your units. Fluids are measured not by weight (grams) but by liquid volume units i.e., litres, centilitres and millilitres. To make it short, one cup is 250ml of fluid.
