DRINKING A LOT OF WATER WILL NOT HYDRATE YOU

My sister,a diabetic, thought drinking a lot of water would help her kidneys, however, too much water caused her to flush out just about all of her sodium. She almost died from electrolyte imbalance before she even knew what was wrong with her. Thank God she found out before it was too late.

This video is needed! I was severely dehydrated after having my baby and no amount of water was helping. I was actually flushing out important electrolytes! After I started drinking Pedialyte and Coconut waters I was like new. I think they saved my life. <3

What the good doctor said is SOOOO true. I was in basic training in the US Army in June 1999 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. There was a recruit in another class that died due to over hydration. A lot of soldiers got sick due to all the water, but the drill sergeants kept making people drink water because of all the physical activity going. That caused the Army to do studies on the proper amount of water soldiers should be drinking.

A tiny pinch of celtic sea salt when you drink helps to absorb water, as Barbara O'Neill teaches.

Water with celtic salt 🧂 water with lemon and lime and celtic salt Or water with ACV and celtic salt 😊 Only drink when I'm thirsty

I can chime in on this. Im a delivery driver. And during the hot Florida summer. I once drank so much water that i slowly became sick throughout the day. And I thought i was dehydrated. Ended up getting heat exhaustion and had to take several days off work. So what happened ? I didn't replenish my electrolytes. So i was diluting it throughout the day. I actually didnt known that i needed to replenish electrolytes since amazon never trained us about it! (Last year! This year they finally listened and educate new drivers). Ever since that day i use electrolyte packs halfway into my route. Ive been fine ever since.

Dr. Berg, you pay attention to every important point in life that helps us to stay healthy. Thank you.

Important video. British actor Anthony Andrews survived water intoxication. He consumed up to eight litres of water a day. He was unconscious and in intensive care for three days.

I will always find your content Dr. Berg. The water thing - no one tells us! Dr. Berg is telling us. I never knew about drinking too much water. I had a friend going into hospital for surgery, very frightened about it. The night before she had to drink the stuff to clear her bowels. I went to visit her, and to help her, I said I'd take a shot of water for every drink she had to take to finish the jug. I drank almost a gallon in a very short time. It didn't feel great, but we had fun taking "shots" together, and it helped her. I believed it was a harmless way to care for a friend. When I left the hospital shortly thereafter, I went to fill the gas tank up and almost passed out at the pumps. I couldn't drive for about 15 minutes, dizzy and presyncopal. I learned AFTERWARD, looking it up, that I could have killed myself this way! I'd always heard about drinking more water, more water. No one ever told me about drinking too much being dangerous. Thanks again Doc! Keep up the good work.👌👍👏👏👏

Good advice, I was actually just researching this topic during the summer. I had worked out in the hot sun again and had been chugging water and ended up feeling horrible. At some point I stumbled upon information about hyponutremia and realized that is what has been happening to me. If you're doing intense physical work in the sun in summertime and drinking water to try and stay hydrated, hyponutremia is almost guaranteed to happen. I was talking with my dad about it and he said grandpa used to bring salt pills when they'd go hiking, that was back in the 60's. I guess the old timers really did know what they were doing.

I’ve heard this but my main concern with hearing this message is, most people are no where close to drinking enough water, let alone too much. There will certainly be people that need more water, will hear this message, and will drink even less.

In middle eastern medicine traditions, it is recommend to drink water in a sitting position, because the water passes through you easier drinking standing. As a trekker I was recommended to take sips of water every once in a while, that way one did not even have to use the restroom on a trail, because the water was used by body, or sweating out

I think sometimes people also are confused by being told to drink more water when what is meant is drink more water INSTEAD of soda or coffee, or other unhealthy drinks. They think if they drink more water it will somehow cancle out the bad stuff they drink and make up for their caffeine consumption. The other thing is all the hype on alkalized water. That really drives me crazy because it is the opposite of what they meed most times. The end up neutralizing their stomach acid and making themselves more acidic. If it goes in one Ph, it comes out the other.

In times of old they used to call the study of the body's minerals "alchemy" but it's not occult practice to monitor your minerals via hair mineral analysis for instance. This way you can administer minerals via specific foods and address the imbalance thus regaining health and well-being. Which leads to Dr Berg. This gentleman is well practiced in restoring minerals in the body. I tell anyone who will listen, "Dr Berg" cleared up my heart palpitations so quick. He's the genuine article. His work speaks for itself. Thanks Dr Berg.

I’ve been searching up on this because i drink like a gallon of water a day or at least 7-8 small bottles a day and still not hydrated. Thanks for touching on this subject, doctor.

Grateful, dear Dr. Berg. You declared many truths, I didn't know.🙏

To much of everything is not good

Empty water is dehydrating. We know water is dehydrating because when you spend a lot of time in the bath, you go all wrinkly as if all the moisture from your skin has been lost. People should drink according to thirst which changes depending on metabolic rate, ambient temperature, activity level, sodium intake, protein intake etc. If water makes you go cold and causes you to urinate frequently, then cutting back is smart.

Combat medic here. While in Afghanistan, we kept having soldiers drop like flies, with all the signs and symptoms of water toxicity. Turns out, command had been pushing the directive to drink water basically all day. The docs and medics finally had to go to command and tell them to change that, and to add electrolyte powders to the mix. They didn't know any better. "Drink water" has always been the mantra. A little knowledge goes a long way. Thanks for the video.

Omg! This HAS TO BE broadcast more. My health was soooo super bad and I wasn’t getting better because I drank too much water and didn’t eat. A lot of pain!
