I once saw a patient who developed several nutritional deficiencies out of the blue- he hadn't changed his diet at all. Turns out he was drinking 1/2 a gallon of water at every meal in an effort to be "healthy" and stay hydrated. I told him to stop doing that and his deficiencies resolved 🤪
I am drinking 3 liters of water a day. I don't know what has or will happen to me. But. I think I have gastritis so I'm just trying to heal my stomach the only way I know how
Sounds like he wasn’t eating any nutrient dense food either nor taking his supplements. There’s a lot more people with problems from drinking too little water than drinking too much. Let’s not get it twisted
Water is important because the main way your body secretes acids is either through exhaling or your kidneys (less water less acid excretion ) You can drink lots of water, just add mineral drops
Myth #1: Once you feel thirsty, dehydration has already set in Truth: While feeling thirsty is a sign that your body needs more fluids, it does not necessarily mean you are dehydrated. Your body is designed to give you signals when you need more water, so just drink when you feel thirsty. Myth #2: Drink water until your urine is clear Truth: Your urine should be a pale straw color or light yellow. If it's too clear, it means you are overhydrated; if it is too dark, it could indicate a potential health issue with your liver or kidneys. Myth #3: Drink water to feel full and reduce food intake Truth: While replacing sugary drinks with water can help you lose weight, drinking more water does not directly lead to fat loss. Myth #4: Drinking more water will flush out toxins Truth: Most toxins are fat-soluble and are not flushed out by drinking water alone. The body has its own detoxification system, so just focus on staying hydrated instead of trying to "detox" with excessive water intake. Myth #5: Water will prevent dehydration Truth: While it is true that hydration is vital for overall health, simply drinking water will not prevent dehydration. Other factors, such as electrolytes play an important role in preventing dehydration. Myth #6: Drink more water Truth: Drinking massive amounts of water can lead to imbalances in the body. Certain situations will call for more water intake-just don't overdo it. If you're prone to kidney stones, you need at least 2.5 liters of fluid per day Myth #7: Drink water right before you eat Truth: Drinking water before meals is fine, but it may cause discomfort for individuals who experience heartburn or bloating. A few more key points to remember: • If you're prone to kidney stones, consider adding lemon to your water. • Add a little bit of baking soda to your water if you experience gout symptoms. • The keto flu or fatigue experienced by some individuals on a keto diet is often due to not consuming enough electrolytes with their water, specifically salt. • Proper hydration is vital for kidney health, but drinking more water won't cleanse or "flush out" the kidneys.

A few years ago my elderly father had to be admitted to hospital twice in a few weeks, because his stools got so rock-hard he wasn’t able to pass them, and because he had diverticula disease, he started bleeding rectally, and was in so much pain we had to call an ambulance, and the 2nd time he was in the hospital for this I just happened to watch one of your previous videos, on how drinking too much water (without adding electrolytes) could make your stools hard (because the electrolytes are needed to soften the stools) and for some reason he had decided to drink way more water than usual for the previous few weeks (he would fill up a jug each day and try to drink all that), so I told him what you’d said in the video, and he went back to just drinking when thirsty, and he hasn’t had that issue again in the 3 or 4 years since. So during that period of drinking way more than usual he had to be admitted to hospital twice (2nd time there he got c-diff and had to be put in isolation, and he ended up in the hospital for like 2 weeks), while he hasn’t had that issue before or since, when drinking his usual amount (which isn’t much!) Given his age (late 80’s) and how much those visits and experiences knocked him around, it’s not necessarily an exaggeration to say that those videos of yours I watched could have saved his life. I highly doubt we ever would have worked out it was the extra water that caused his issues had I not happened to watch those videos, and it could have just kept happening. 🙌

You still need to be careful. There's a reason why he had to update this topic from his older videos. I followed his really old water drinking video and got kidney stones/gout because he said people were drinking too much water.
He also recommends waaaay too many vegetables, especially raw veggies. I do appreciate the information he provides and played a big role in my health journey.

My mom was in the hospital for a month for Hyponatremia (level of 99)…she has schizophrenia and sometimes doesn’t register when to stop. She drank 4 litres of water a day over weeks and flushed out all her sodium. She refused the ambulance the first night because she was delusional, the 2nd night she went unconscious. Most people do need to be educated about the basics because common sense isn’t so common anymore!
So sorry about that, hope she is better. I had never given this any thought, but thinking about it now I probably drink around 6 litres a day... then again I do exercise a lot and sweat even more. Still find it incredible that 4 litres could damage someone's health so much, I'm assuming she was force drinking without being thirsty?
That’s crazy I drink about 5-6 as well mainly because I lift and also do wrestling and I’m also taking creatine so it’s required to drink a lot of water
Im 70 went to ER the other day they said I was dehydrated gave me a drip I had no thirst or appetite, I have never added salt to anything and was feeling super lethargic and weak, started adding a quarter teaspoon of Himalayan salt to every 600 ml of water I drink and the transformation was remarkable, lots of energy and strength back.
Your videos have made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in my overall health. Thank you for looking out for us. I’m so paranoid about doctors nowadays but I trust everything you share with us cause it feels like you’re coming from a place of your own experiences. I’m convinced A LOT of the medical industry is not in the business of healing people. Healthy people aren’t as profitable.
The man, the doctor, the legend! Can't put my finger on it, but I just love your style of communication! Thanks for the content, love & respect from Czech republic..
It's mind-blowing. I truly believed my entire life the more clean water u drink the better n healthier you will be... not drowning yourself of course but flushing the body... wow.. thank u for the Info
Thank you for validating my drinking habits. I've always had water only when thirsty. There are a lot of days when I barely drink anything other than with my meal. I don't need more most of the time. I naturally have more thirst in the summer when it's hotter and when I sweat more. So I think I've always done it right but a lot of people are shocked. My boyfriend always tells me I have to drink more water and that he is worried about my health because of the lack of water. Which I can't understand because I don't have any health issues. And if I ever complain about something he is like "it's because you don't drink enough water!!" 😂 I've had this habit my whole life and here I am just fine 🤷♀️
You got it right for most part except drinking with your meal. You are basically diluting your stomach acids which will affect your digestion. Wait couple hours after a meal before drinking or drink way before you eat. Dr. Berg actually says as much in this video.
I'm the same way. I'm in my late 40s and never drank water my entire life until 2 years ago when I started eating better. I literally feel no different (not in a bad way), lol. But i normally drink about one 16oz bottle a day and feel fine.
@@JCX-9no. Then for me I couldn’t eat. I need the food to get thirsty and drink it while eating. I just feel fine with that. Eating without drinking makes me feel sick D:
I have been begging people for years now to stop trying to drink enough water that their urine is clear....washing good (and needed) minerals out of their bodies! Thank you for having this in your video. Maybe an MD saying this will get through!
Dr Berg. First thank you. This is quite helpful. I work outside. Nearly 30years. Often after a long hot day. I am incredibly thirsty. When this happens, neither water nor restorative drinks, such as Gatorade or my preference Body Armor(no sugar added), will bring it under control. The only thing that seems to work, is a glass of milk, not gulped, but deliberately drunk over several minutes. I have always assumed that I am sweating something that needs restoring, but am not sure what exactly.
@cavernicola40 I presumed the potassium and calsium and vitamin D had something to do with it. But wondered if I might be missing something. Since things like Body Armor often failed. Even though it has many of the same vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.
I was on diuretics for more than 15 years before i came acros your videos on youtube. I do not take them for a year now since i follow your recomandations on electrolytes. No words to express enough my appreciation for what you share. Thank you dr. Berg!!❤
I had numbness and tingling all down my legs and sometimes face. I went to the doctor expecting the worse. My urine was super clear. I had low anion gap, low sodium, low end potassium. I would drink water all day. Lowering my fluid intake and using salt my numbness went away. It was scary. I never knew drinking water could be dangerous.
I limited my fluid intake. I only drank when thirsty. I also throw a generous dose of himalayan salt on my food. I bought some magnesium to take at night as well b/c I had the twitching eyelids and face muscles. It worked. I was flushing everything good out with too much fluids. @@mursaleen0043
100% on the “prevents dehydration” thing. Water alone is not enough. I worked in a hot Walmart warehouse for a summer loading boxes into the back of even hotter tractor trailers, drank lots of water (it was provided), yet still came down with heat exhaustion/sickness/dehydration the day after the hottest day I worked. Hopefully they’ve changed practices since then and started providing drinks with electrolytes in them.
I wish I could hire him as my primary care physician. I’m diabetic and when I began listening to him two years ago I was insulin dependent along with jardiance and metformin with an A1c of 13. Now after following his advice my A1c is 6. And I’m no longer insulin dependent. No matter what people say about him, I am living proof that his methods work.
I laughed at this but I am 31 and only realizing how many things I did wrong. Either no one taught me or I didn’t pick it up properly but it definitely left me surprised.
I know that sometimes if you feel hungry (and you have already eaten) it's because you are thirsty. I went through this myself, until I started intermittent fasting and taught my system the difference over time.
Listening to you in the background or directly watching your videos is slowly changing my perspective of how to take care of myself for the better, I really appreciate you making these videos rich with knowledge for basically free, you are really something amazing thank you Dr. Eric!
Ayurveda states that one should not drink water at for least 30 minutes before taking a meal, and also 2 hours after a meal. Taking water while eating will dilute your gastric juices needed to digest your food. Additionally, never drink ice water. Warm water preferred or room temperature at the coldest.
Hello Dr Berg, PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON LOW SODIUM IN THE BODY AND WHAT TO DO TO INCREASE the sodium in their body again. ie how much sodium do you put in your water per day to increase sodium in the body and do you also need potassium & magnesium at the same time thank you. 💙
Thanks Doc!! Had huge kidney stone! They ran bag after bag of pure water thru me, made me miserable!! I now drink lemon in my water! Thanks for letting me know. I'm doing the right thing!

00:00 🚱 Thirst is a reliable indicator for water intake; the idea that you must drink before feeling thirsty is a myth. Brain damage, autoimmune conditions, or low salt intake may affect thirst perception. 01:08 🚰 Clear urine is not optimal; it should be slightly straw-colored. Too clear or too dark urine may indicate issues with hydration or potential liver problems. 01:51 🤔 Drinking more water won't directly aid weight loss; replacing sugary drinks with water helps, but water itself doesn't burn fat. 02:18 💧 Drinking water doesn't effectively flush out toxins; most toxins are fat-soluble and remain in fat cells. Hydration requires not just water but also electrolytes and sea salt. 03:27 ⚖ Hydration needs balance; excessive water intake can dilute essential minerals, leading to hyponatremia. Listen to your body's thirst signals, especially during specific activities or conditions. 04:22 🍽 Drinking water right before meals may exacerbate acid indigestion; individuals with kidney stones should consume at least 2.5 liters of fluid daily. 04:49 🍋 For gout, add baking soda to water to alkalize; for kidney stones, consider lemon water to bind citrates with oxalates and prevent their formation. 05:30 🤯 Flushing kidneys with excess water doesn't purify them; it only makes them work harder. Certain foods, like vegetables and meat, contribute to water intake. 06:29 💦 Individual water needs vary; forcing excessive water intake is unnecessary. Thirst levels can be influenced by conditions like diabetes or hypercalcemia, leading to increased urination.
Do we really need videos of when to drink water in 2024? Drink it when you’re thirsty just like every other single creature in the realm we find ourselves in. It’s that simple.
I have seen comments from people in these various videos dedicated to water drinking and they drink 2 gallons of water per day and even say they try to drink 3 gallons. It’s total insanity and you will need to bring your own Porto potty because you will need to spend most of your day looking for bathrooms.
Thank you, Dr. for this informative and educative video. Iam residing in a state (Sokoto-Nigeria) where 40c to 44c temperature is very normal during summer! Therefore, the need to take water consistently is inevitable.
It is prohibited to drink water in a single gulp, an act that we normally do when we are extremely thirsty. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Do not drink water only in one breath, but drink it in two or three breaths."
Muhammad (may hellfire be upon him) also told Aisha she was good enough to marry when she was only 6 and slept with her when she was only 9. I wouldnt use him as an example to do anything besides how to go to jail and then Hell.
Ppl say its bad to drink water right after coffee or tea but im not so sure if its true. Also they tell me that drinking a lot of water after food is bad as well
My relatives lived well into their nineties, never saw them take a drink of water...but, they would split a beer around 4:00!! My mother used to say water was for under bridges!! Now, I will admit, none of them were out jogging, but they all worked every day, and were pretty healthy! Food was better, everything was better! This water video is just reminding me of them...thanks!
Thank you Dr. Eric, i have a bad kidney problem and this video helped me getting knowledge. But i will need more information for my kidney issue, thanks.
I know someone that literally sets an alarm on his phone to remind him to drink a certain amount of water every 15 or 20 minutes. Couldn't imagine living like that!
You have a lot of momentum right now. You may feel a lot of pressure but you don’t need to. You have a great support system around you that is helping you more than you know. Breakthroughs are coming your way! Trust and believe!
As far as indigestion goes, I'm still upset I got treated for so long with antacids when my problem was LOW stomach acid, not high stomach acid. A prescription that literally did nothing but make me need that prescription.
@vcash1112 During. Of course I have something to drink when I eat lol. I changed what I eat and I used Betaine HCl twice. It's been years and I only get indigestion on the very rare occasion.
@@vcash1112 Have you tried drinking something carbonated with your meal? If that didn't help, try the Betaine HCl. I used NOW brand 648 mg. Started with 1 pill with a meal. Used two pills the next day. All I can say is that worked for me lol. Still have 99% of the bottle left after like 2 years.
Loved this!!!! I am not one to feel too thirsty and I drink water when I'm thirsty; my family is on my case that I HAVE TO DRINK 8 bottles of water and this that I tell them I dont drink that much water because I end up peeing too much but they insist I need to clear my Urine..
There is no one-size-fits-all formula or number that will tell you how much water you 'need' to drink. Yes, the body needs water- of course!- and some bodies do need lots of it. Factors like your environment and activity levels are two major factors that will affect your body’s water needs. Universal figures and formula are not reliable estimators of your own water needs. Glad it helps!
Thank you, Doctor Berg. I really appreciate all that i've learned from you And still learning. You are amazing and I just want to share my appreciation. I feel so much healthier now. Thanks again for all you do and God 3:19 Bless you. I try to listen to at least a couple of your teachings a day for the last couple of years and apply it to my life the best I can❤
I always love to drink water with sea salt, vitamin c and some drops of lemon juice. Feels much better for hydration in general, especially when exercising. When I know that I've had probably too much sodium then naturally my body wants to drink just pure water...
I spent a good deal of time with David Prowse, the British body builder who was the original Darth Vader, and spoke with him at length about this topic. He told me the only time he drank water was when he was thirsty. If he'd been working out, he'd drink more, of course. No "hydration" regimens, no 8 glasses of water, none of the idiocy being preached now (by plastic bottled water vendors mostly, I'm sure) He said your body will tell you when to drink, not the other way around. This was 20 years ago, when this obsession with "being hydrated" started to be the fad. I'll trust the guy who had a body like a Greek god and also trained Christopher Reeve to be Superman, a whole lot more than hawkers of magic spring water (i.e., city tap) in environmentally hostile plastic bottles. Glad to hear your take on it, Doc.
Great video. One of the key signs for me is heart rate. I notice when I don't drink enough my heart rate goes up in the absence of exercise/strenuous activities
all the body building magazines don't say nothing... about putting salt in ur system when I was younger... I had hyperthermia...it's terrible...ending up in ER... lucky to be alive...that was horrible....Thank.."GOD"!!!... I'm alive...
Thanks for this video. Very informative. I have been asking my doctor for over 2 years now. I drink alot of water every day up to 1 gallon. But my lips are always chapped and I still feel thirsty some times.
I honestly feel very sick when I drink the “recommended” amount of water. I don’t know how people can drink this much water. I honestly am starting to believe everything they tell us about our health is a lie. I think these agencies want us sick. Sick people are more vulnerable. Healthy people are sharper mentally and not as easy to manipulate.
That’s when you need to use your own discretion. We are bombarded with information and if we don’t use our common sense and just jump on what the last person told us we most likely get ourselves in trouble. Perfect example was the covid scaring people into jabbing them selves.
Im glad you mentioned salt. I know a case of a lady who overdosed on water and died. Lucky I grew up in the desert for part of my life and my mum used to always make me eat a pinch of salt or a little handfull of salted nuts in summer to encourage me to drink water (unless we were drinking from the mountain springs which were salty enough) It seemed counter intuitive to me to use salt as a means to avoid dehydration. Later when i met my husband who worked underground in mines he told me it was compulsory for workers to carry a sodium tablet to consume with their bottle water to avoid feeling sick. As for the woman that died it was due to a radio show competition were ppl had to drink a couple litres of water and whoever held it the longest without peeing would win a prize. The poor woman who held it her body went into shock later that night from having so much water and not enough salts, she got a terrible headache followed by a seizure, she was taken to hospital by her partner who didnt know what was wrong with her and she was unconcious on arrival so she couldnt explain to staff about the water competition - Im not sure if the nurses putting a saline drip in her would made it worse at that point because her kidneys had shut down and couldnt process anything anyway so they actually just flooded the poor girl with more water and i think thats what sadly finished her off 😢.
I got dehydrated once, when I went on a 5-6 hour hike in hot weather and didn’t take enough water with me. But I didn’t get thirsty! My biggest symptoms were pain in my back and shoulders, also extreme lack of energy.
I have never considered my salt consumption but I have issues with drinking water. I don’t feel thirsty and a lot of times I forget to drink it unlit my head hurts and get other symptoms
I force myself to drink more water in the mornings. Its sort of ended up being my most successful method for combating chronic constipation. I don't think I drink excessively over-all but hopefully its ok that I'm fitting in that liter or liter and a half over the course of a couple hours purely to get stool moving.
yeah me too. a litre and/or a half during mornings on empty stomach to clear out the bowels but I do get a little light headed sometimes. So I was wondering If I should stop doing that after watching this video.
Keto can really trigger gout if you don't stay VERY hydrated. I have to drink around a gallon and a half a day of spring water mixed with an electrolyte powder. Also a heating pad on the area starting to get inflamed helps me immensely. As always Dr. Berg sharing knowledge we didn't know we needed.
I really appreciate you! Your videos are so easy to watch and oddly always on time with things I instinctively know but havent found enough data online to back up, or dont fully trust the motives of from other sources. I trust your research! ❤ Waters been a big topic for me. Grew up in the Arizona desert but could NEVER get in the daily "recommended" water intake, even though water (and morning coffee) are my only fluids. No sodas or juices, etc aside from watermelon. I feel queezy after so many glasses. I always suspected my body was telling me the recommended amount wasn't necessary for me, but nothing to back it up but instinct. So, I'd struggled for years with how much is enough. If I was thirsty, wouldn't my body say so? Fast forward, I moved from Phoenix to Tucson for 2 months and stayed thirsty all the time. Water never tasted so good. Then I moved to Sedona with much higher elevation than Phoenix and Tucson, and now I'm rarely ever thirsty. It's a struggle to drink more than a glass or two of water up here, and Im again struggling with am I doing my body a disservice or do I really need less because of elevation? Ive read journals that say higher elevation affects the "sense" of being thirsty, but nothing saying less water is needed for the body. Would love insight. For now I'm trying to stick with listening to my thirst but I'd love a better understanding on need for intake. I store a freezer full of juiced watermelon every summer and can live off that for fluids, and feel fantastic. But I still have the rest of the year to figure out proper hydration. Thanks always for what you do!
I live in the Tropics. Coconut water.. fresh out of the Coconut. I do really intense exercise outdoors. Muay thai 90 degrees. I will try more sea salt.. thanks for the presentation and analysis
This seems relevant in most places but in dry arid deserts and dry US states, people's level of hydration will differ, so they may need to drink more water as they are constantly losing water. I lived in Arizona for 7 years and became seriously ill from dehydration. Being from the UK I just didn't relate to how the moisture is sucked out of your skin. I've known people there die too from not enough water. Please make a video that covers this too. I think people are confused too about electrolytes, salt, potassium etc and how they all help the body in this hydration dance.
Here's a question that I've not seen yet, I don't particularly get thirsty regularly, until I get dangerously close to dehydration. So I just drink water periodically. I try to listen to my body, but that thirst feeling rarely comes on it's own. What do you do when your body doesn't signal for thirst? And being dehydrated is probably one of the worst things feelings so I drink as much as i can because I feel paranoia. I'd rather be over hydrated than dehydrated....
When I was in the military, I drank 1.5 litres of water that's a total of 4.5 liters of water per day along 6 months at every meal. Thank You Dr. Berg! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I wouldn’t do it unless you feel like you really need to for some particular reason. Such as if you struggle to make enough saliva to chew your food properly.

Im 70 went to ER the other day they said I was dehydrated gave me a drip I had no thirst or appetite, I have never added salt to anything and was feeling super lethargic and weak, started adding a quarter teaspoon of Himalayan salt to every 600 ml of water I drink and the transformation was remarkable, lots of energy and strength back.
The people watching this video all have sleeping problems like me
Got me

Your videos have made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in my overall health. Thank you for looking out for us. I’m so paranoid about doctors nowadays but I trust everything you share with us cause it feels like you’re coming from a place of your own experiences. I’m convinced A LOT of the medical industry is not in the business of healing people. Healthy people aren’t as profitable.
The man, the doctor, the legend!
Can't put my finger on it, but I just love your style of communication!
Thanks for the content, love & respect from Czech republic..
It's mind-blowing. I truly believed my entire life the more clean water u drink the better n healthier you will be... not drowning yourself of course but flushing the body... wow.. thank u for the Info
Totally make sense!! Thank you for clarifying these myths! ❤
Thanks for your trust and support. Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you for validating my drinking habits. I've always had water only when thirsty. There are a lot of days when I barely drink anything other than with my meal. I don't need more most of the time. I naturally have more thirst in the summer when it's hotter and when I sweat more. So I think I've always done it right but a lot of people are shocked. My boyfriend always tells me I have to drink more water and that he is worried about my health because of the lack of water. Which I can't understand because I don't have any health issues. And if I ever complain about something he is like "it's because you don't drink enough water!!" 😂 I've had this habit my whole life and here I am just fine 🤷♀️
You got it right for most part except drinking with your meal. You are basically diluting your stomach acids which will affect your digestion. Wait couple hours after a meal before drinking or drink way before you eat. Dr. Berg actually says as much in this video.
I'm the same way. I'm in my late 40s and never drank water my entire life until 2 years ago when I started eating better. I literally feel no different (not in a bad way), lol. But i normally drink about one 16oz bottle a day and feel fine.
@@JCX-9no. Then for me I couldn’t eat. I need the food to get thirsty and drink it while eating. I just feel fine with that. Eating without drinking makes me feel sick D:
It's always better to drink water with meal it can help in better absorption !
I have been begging people for years now to stop trying to drink enough water that their urine is clear....washing good (and needed) minerals out of their bodies! Thank you for having this in your video. Maybe an MD saying this will get through!
What about when you have bad skin (i.e. acne), should you drink a lot of water
Dr Berg. First thank you. This is quite helpful.
I work outside. Nearly 30years.
Often after a long hot day. I am incredibly thirsty. When this happens, neither water nor restorative drinks, such as Gatorade or my preference Body Armor(no sugar added), will bring it under control.
The only thing that seems to work, is a glass of milk, not gulped, but deliberately drunk over several minutes.
I have always assumed that I am sweating something that needs restoring, but am not sure what exactly.
Milk has a lot of the best electrolytes. Potassium sodium and calcium. There’s information around on how milk is the best rehydrating drink.
@cavernicola40 I presumed the potassium and calsium and vitamin D had something to do with it. But wondered if I might be missing something. Since things like Body Armor often failed. Even though it has many of the same vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.

I was on diuretics for more than 15 years before i came acros your videos on youtube. I do not take them for a year now since i follow your recomandations on electrolytes. No words to express enough my appreciation for what you share. Thank you dr. Berg!!❤
Why u took diuretic? Im on diuretic too...
@@fatmiandariAbdullahbecause of water retention
I had numbness and tingling all down my legs and sometimes face. I went to the doctor expecting the worse. My urine was super clear. I had low anion gap, low sodium, low end potassium. I would drink water all day. Lowering my fluid intake and using salt my numbness went away. It was scary. I never knew drinking water could be dangerous.
Then, How you get treatment of numbness and tingling?
Any medicine
I limited my fluid intake. I only drank when thirsty. I also throw a generous dose of himalayan salt on my food. I bought some magnesium to take at night as well b/c I had the twitching eyelids and face muscles. It worked. I was flushing everything good out with too much fluids. @@mursaleen0043
100% on the “prevents dehydration” thing. Water alone is not enough. I worked in a hot Walmart warehouse for a summer loading boxes into the back of even hotter tractor trailers, drank lots of water (it was provided), yet still came down with heat exhaustion/sickness/dehydration the day after the hottest day I worked. Hopefully they’ve changed practices since then and started providing drinks with electrolytes in them.
I wish I could hire him as my primary care physician. I’m diabetic and when I began listening to him two years ago I was insulin dependent along with jardiance and metformin with an A1c of 13. Now after following his advice my A1c is 6. And I’m no longer insulin dependent. No matter what people say about him, I am living proof that his methods work.

@@zuru7266are you calling this video false information?
I laughed at this but I am 31 and only realizing how many things I did wrong. Either no one taught me or I didn’t pick it up properly but it definitely left me surprised.
I know that sometimes if you feel hungry (and you have already eaten) it's because you are thirsty. I went through this myself, until I started intermittent fasting and taught my system the difference over time.
Listening to you in the background or directly watching your videos is slowly changing my perspective of how to take care of myself for the better, I really appreciate you making these videos rich with knowledge for basically free, you are really something amazing thank you Dr. Eric!
Ayurveda states that one should not drink water at for least 30 minutes before taking a meal, and also 2 hours after a meal. Taking water while eating will dilute your gastric juices needed to digest your food. Additionally, never drink ice water. Warm water preferred or room temperature at the coldest.
About stomach acid, true.
Depends, during the summer you may want to consume more cold water.
I love ice water

Crazy times we live in where there is just so much miss information, the average person can't even drink water correctly. I see it everywhere.
00:00 🚱 Thirst is a reliable indicator for water intake; the idea that you must drink before feeling thirsty is a myth. Brain damage, autoimmune conditions, or low salt intake may affect thirst perception.
01:08 🚰 Clear urine is not optimal; it should be slightly straw-colored. Too clear or too dark urine may indicate issues with hydration or potential liver problems.
01:51 🤔 Drinking more water won't directly aid weight loss; replacing sugary drinks with water helps, but water itself doesn't burn fat.
02:18 💧 Drinking water doesn't effectively flush out toxins; most toxins are fat-soluble and remain in fat cells. Hydration requires not just water but also electrolytes and sea salt.
03:27 ⚖ Hydration needs balance; excessive water intake can dilute essential minerals, leading to hyponatremia. Listen to your body's thirst signals, especially during specific activities or conditions.
04:22 🍽 Drinking water right before meals may exacerbate acid indigestion; individuals with kidney stones should consume at least 2.5 liters of fluid daily.
04:49 🍋 For gout, add baking soda to water to alkalize; for kidney stones, consider lemon water to bind citrates with oxalates and prevent their formation.
05:30 🤯 Flushing kidneys with excess water doesn't purify them; it only makes them work harder. Certain foods, like vegetables and meat, contribute to water intake.
06:29 💦 Individual water needs vary; forcing excessive water intake is unnecessary. Thirst levels can be influenced by conditions like diabetes or hypercalcemia, leading to increased urination.
Wow, you’re the bomb 💣 thank you! ❤
Wonderfully done Mahdi. Thank you so much.
Awesome! Thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻
You're a gem, thanks so much
Do we really need videos of when to drink water in 2024? Drink it when you’re thirsty just like every other single creature in the realm we find ourselves in. It’s that simple.
I have seen comments from people in these various videos dedicated to water drinking and they drink 2 gallons of water per day and even say they try to drink 3 gallons. It’s total insanity and you will need to bring your own Porto potty because you will need to spend most of your day looking for bathrooms.
Yup. I drink up to almost a gallon per day. Plus other liquids including coffee, and 32oz tea drink.
Now I don’t even know if I’m drinking properly
Drink beer!
😂
Thank you, Dr. for this informative and educative video.
Iam residing in a state (Sokoto-Nigeria) where 40c to 44c temperature is very normal during summer!
Therefore, the need to take water consistently is inevitable.
This sure does clarify things. Thanks!!
It is prohibited to drink water in a single gulp, an act that we normally do when we are extremely thirsty. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Do not drink water only in one breath, but drink it in two or three breaths."
Jesus is Lord
You tripping..Jesus is the only way to heaven ..no other way !!!
Lailaha illallah Muhammadurrasulillah saw ❤
Its a basic knowledge and people knew it before prophet
Muhammad (may hellfire be upon him) also told Aisha she was good enough to marry when she was only 6 and slept with her when she was only 9. I wouldnt use him as an example to do anything besides how to go to jail and then Hell.
Great insightful information. Thank you, Dr Berg 🙏🏻
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Ppl say its bad to drink water right after coffee or tea but im not so sure if its true. Also they tell me that drinking a lot of water after food is bad as well
My relatives lived well into their nineties, never saw them take a drink of water...but, they would split a beer around 4:00!! My mother used to say water was for under bridges!! Now, I will admit, none of them were out jogging, but they all worked every day, and were pretty healthy! Food was better, everything was better! This water video is just reminding me of them...thanks!
Thank you Dr. Eric, i have a bad kidney problem and this video helped me getting knowledge. But i will need more information for my kidney issue, thanks.
I know someone that literally sets an alarm on his phone to remind him to drink a certain amount of water every 15 or 20 minutes. Couldn't imagine living like that!

Wonderful explanation. Everything makes sense. Thanks, Dr Berg 👍🏻❤

As far as indigestion goes, I'm still upset I got treated for so long with antacids when my problem was LOW stomach acid, not high stomach acid. A prescription that literally did nothing but make me need that prescription.
Do you drink water when you eat or do you wait a while after?
@vcash1112 During. Of course I have something to drink when I eat lol. I changed what I eat and I used Betaine HCl twice. It's been years and I only get indigestion on the very rare occasion.
@@jaymzOGI think possibly
I have low acid if I drink during or after a meal I start to burb and feels sluggish.
@@vcash1112 Have you tried drinking something carbonated with your meal? If that didn't help, try the Betaine HCl. I used NOW brand 648 mg. Started with 1 pill with a meal. Used two pills the next day. All I can say is that worked for me lol. Still have 99% of the bottle left after like 2 years.
Is it safe to do anything nowadays? Xd
Damn I gotta stop breathing 😭😭😭
Nothing is safe when done in an excess amount brother.

Loved this!!!! I am not one to feel too thirsty and I drink water when I'm thirsty; my family is on my case that I HAVE TO DRINK 8 bottles of water and this that I tell them I dont drink that much water because I end up peeing too much but they insist I need to clear my Urine..
There is no one-size-fits-all formula or number that will tell you how much water you 'need' to drink. Yes, the body needs water- of course!- and some bodies do need lots of it.
Factors like your environment and activity levels are two major factors that will affect your body’s water needs. Universal figures and formula are not reliable estimators of your own water needs. Glad it helps!
Thank you, Doctor Berg. I really appreciate all that i've learned from you And still learning. You are amazing and I just want to share my appreciation.
I feel so much healthier now. Thanks again for all you do and God 3:19 Bless you. I try to listen to at least a couple of your teachings a day for the last couple of years and apply it to my life the best I can❤

I always love to drink water with sea salt, vitamin c and some drops of lemon juice. Feels much better for hydration in general, especially when exercising. When I know that I've had probably too much sodium then naturally my body wants to drink just pure water...

I spent a good deal of time with David Prowse, the British body builder who was the original Darth Vader, and spoke with him at length about this topic. He told me the only time he drank water was when he was thirsty. If he'd been working out, he'd drink more, of course. No "hydration" regimens, no 8 glasses of water, none of the idiocy being preached now (by plastic bottled water vendors mostly, I'm sure) He said your body will tell you when to drink, not the other way around. This was 20 years ago, when this obsession with "being hydrated" started to be the fad. I'll trust the guy who had a body like a Greek god and also trained Christopher Reeve to be Superman, a whole lot more than hawkers of magic spring water (i.e., city tap) in environmentally hostile plastic bottles. Glad to hear your take on it, Doc.
Great video. One of the key signs for me is heart rate. I notice when I don't drink enough my heart rate goes up in the absence of exercise/strenuous activities

all the body building magazines don't say nothing... about putting salt in ur system when I was younger... I had hyperthermia...it's terrible...ending up in ER... lucky to be alive...that was horrible....Thank.."GOD"!!!... I'm alive...

Thanks for this video. Very informative. I have been asking my doctor for over 2 years now. I drink alot of water every day up to 1 gallon. But my lips are always chapped and I still feel thirsty some times.
I honestly feel very sick when I drink the “recommended” amount of water. I don’t know how people can drink this much water. I honestly am starting to believe everything they tell us about our health is a lie. I think these agencies want us sick. Sick people are more vulnerable. Healthy people are sharper mentally and not as easy to manipulate.
That’s when you need to use your own discretion. We are bombarded with information and if we don’t use our common sense and just jump on what the last person told us we most likely get ourselves in trouble. Perfect example was the covid scaring people into jabbing them selves.
Water = bad. Got it!
😂😂😂😂😂
Im glad you mentioned salt. I know a case of a lady who overdosed on water and died. Lucky I grew up in the desert for part of my life and my mum used to always make me eat a pinch of salt or a little handfull of salted nuts in summer to encourage me to drink water (unless we were drinking from the mountain springs which were salty enough) It seemed counter intuitive to me to use salt as a means to avoid dehydration. Later when i met my husband who worked underground in mines he told me it was compulsory for workers to carry a sodium tablet to consume with their bottle water to avoid feeling sick. As for the woman that died it was due to a radio show competition were ppl had to drink a couple litres of water and whoever held it the longest without peeing would win a prize. The poor woman who held it her body went into shock later that night from having so much water and not enough salts, she got a terrible headache followed by a seizure, she was taken to hospital by her partner who didnt know what was wrong with her and she was unconcious on arrival so she couldnt explain to staff about the water competition - Im not sure if the nurses putting a saline drip in her would made it worse at that point because her kidneys had shut down and couldnt process anything anyway so they actually just flooded the poor girl with more water and i think thats what sadly finished her off 😢.
Thank you DR. Berg 👍
Appreciate your Great simple explanation 🙏👌🤳
I got dehydrated once, when I went on a 5-6 hour hike in hot weather and didn’t take enough water with me. But I didn’t get thirsty! My biggest symptoms were pain in my back and shoulders, also extreme lack of energy.

Thank you very much. Appreciate your message. Take care.
Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆
I force myself to drink more water in the mornings. Its sort of ended up being my most successful method for combating chronic constipation. I don't think I drink excessively over-all but hopefully its ok that I'm fitting in that liter or liter and a half over the course of a couple hours purely to get stool moving.
yeah me too. a litre and/or a half during mornings on empty stomach to clear out the bowels but I do get a little light headed sometimes. So I was wondering If I should stop doing that after watching this video.
Baja Gold Salt. The best.
I agree with this, sometimes my urine comes really clear and I get kidney pain and frequent urination because of this
Thanks for watching the video. Take care.

Keto can really trigger gout if you don't stay VERY hydrated. I have to drink around a gallon and a half a day of spring water mixed with an electrolyte powder. Also a heating pad on the area starting to get inflamed helps me immensely.

Doc, is it harmful to drink water while standing?
I really appreciate you! Your videos are so easy to watch and oddly always on time with things I instinctively know but havent found enough data online to back up, or dont fully trust the motives of from other sources. I trust your research! ❤ Waters been a big topic for me. Grew up in the Arizona desert but could NEVER get in the daily "recommended" water intake, even though water (and morning coffee) are my only fluids. No sodas or juices, etc aside from watermelon. I feel queezy after so many glasses. I always suspected my body was telling me the recommended amount wasn't necessary for me, but nothing to back it up but instinct. So, I'd struggled for years with how much is enough. If I was thirsty, wouldn't my body say so? Fast forward, I moved from Phoenix to Tucson for 2 months and stayed thirsty all the time. Water never tasted so good. Then I moved to Sedona with much higher elevation than Phoenix and Tucson, and now I'm rarely ever thirsty. It's a struggle to drink more than a glass or two of water up here, and Im again struggling with am I doing my body a disservice or do I really need less because of elevation? Ive read journals that say higher elevation affects the "sense" of being thirsty, but nothing saying less water is needed for the body. Would love insight. For now I'm trying to stick with listening to my thirst but I'd love a better understanding on need for intake. I store a freezer full of juiced watermelon every summer and can live off that for fluids, and feel fantastic. But I still have the rest of the year to figure out proper hydration. Thanks always for what you do!
I like to keep my water bottle with me at all times, this actually very informative. Thanks!
Very glad the information was helpful, you are welcome!

I’m 16 years old and have really much acne how much water should I drink? Nice video bro
This seems relevant in most places but in dry arid deserts and dry US states, people's level of hydration will differ, so they may need to drink more water as they are constantly losing water. I lived in Arizona for 7 years and became seriously ill from dehydration. Being from the UK I just didn't relate to how the moisture is sucked out of your skin. I've known people there die too from not enough water. Please make a video that covers this too. I think people are confused too about electrolytes, salt, potassium etc and how they all help the body in this hydration dance.
Just because you live in a desert climate doesn’t mean you’re more dehydrated, if for example you are in an air conditioner building all day!

Here's a question that I've not seen yet, I don't particularly get thirsty regularly, until I get dangerously close to dehydration. So I just drink water periodically. I try to listen to my body, but that thirst feeling rarely comes on it's own. What do you do when your body doesn't signal for thirst? And being dehydrated is probably one of the worst things feelings so I drink as much as i can because I feel paranoia. I'd rather be over hydrated than dehydrated....
Thank you for sharing , wow really eye opening for a basic daily intake of water...

Dr. Berg, What is your opinion on drinking water with meals? I heard many years ago that it was bad for digestion.
he did mention drinking before meals might be a bad idea if you have low stomach acid.
I wouldn’t do it unless you feel like you really need to for some particular reason. Such as if you struggle to make enough saliva to chew your food properly.
Many years ago you heard correctly. Strong stomach acid aids denaturing of proteins.
It helps with digestion.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
