      Indeed, and it's scary how ignorant many nurses/doctors/surgeons are. There is also such a thing as drinking TOO much water. I wound up in the ER twice in two months due to serious dehydration. First trip, I spent two days there, and finally told them to send me home because they didn't do any of the tests they promised.
      Second trip, different hospital, the nurses and doctor kept telling me I need to drink more water, even though I kept telling them I was drinking 8-10 32oz glasses of filtered water a day! They also said I was deficient in at least 8 different essential minerals. Finally just did my own research, and turns out I screwed up. If you filter your water, make sure to get some sort of supplement to replace the vitamins/minerals that are taken out. Lemon, ACV, honey, black tea and things like that are great, but it's not enough.
      I am not very activate due to physical disability, so there was no reason to drink that much. In fact, it was likely flushing many of those nutrients out, which in turn were never being replaced. Also, it can be hard on certain organs(kidneys/liver, etc) long term drinking that much, as they never really get a chance to rest.

You wake up with much more energy and sleep much better. You fall asleep quicker, and another major thing for me was my heartburn was completely gone! My stomach felt better too, coffee is very acidic so if you drink it on a empty stomach like I would feel like my stomach is burning. The only thing I miss is the taste and how it’s can be used as a diuretic. It helps a lot with constipation. After a while you’ll realize you do not need it. Now I avoid caffeine, I just don’t need another addiction sad to say.

    For anyone who wants to drink more water, this is the method I’ve come up with. I always keep a large cup or bottle of room temperature water near me and can determine if I need water by mouthfeel, such as the thickness of my saliva. Then, when I drink the water, I chug until my body tells me to stop. It’s amazing how the body knows exactly how much it needs! Sometimes I only feel like 2 or 3 gulps and sometimes I feel like chugging the whole glass. I’m sure this is obvious for some people but I only really discovered this in my 20s.

    I just started drinking more water about a week ago. There have been two days of relapse, drinking the same old soda and coffee. I've had issues drinking water since about the age of 14 or 15. My father was always gone overseas working and my mother for some reason would keep the house stocked with soda. We had well water but it was horrible (tons of sulfur) unless the filter was cleaned and since my father was always gone for months at a time, the filter was mostly green and nasty. So, I drank loads of soda and it became the new normal in life for the last 25 years.
    There have been a few times where I have quit drinking soda but would fill the gap with juices, more coffee, and teas. I would lose a ton of weight during those periods of time, however, someone down the road after a month or two would offer me a soda at a party or at work and the process would start all over again.
    Basically, I have been dealing with headaches for MANY years and many other issues like heart palpitations, body aches, fatigue, etc, etc. I decided to start research since doctors were not helping and figured drinking more water is the solution, and so far it has been! All the doctors were just trying to medicate, not a single one thought to look at the bags under my eyes or my weight and ask how much water was being consumed.

      Glad you're doing better, and yeah, the medical world in general is a joke. There's a reason for that. But like you, I drank TONS of sodas in younger years, along with coffee. I was a driver for 10 years and it got to the point I would go through 2-3 44oz's a day while working, then another 6 pack at home. Almost NEVER drank any water for the first 30 or so years of my life.
      It really screwed up my body, especially the teeth, stomach, gallbladder and gut. Drinking filtered water with supplements, or lemon juice with apple cider vinegar and occasionally fresh honey has slowly been making a difference, but unfortunately teeth don't usually grow back. :/

      Of course, if you take antidiuretics and then drink a lot of water you are screwing yourself over, but if you don't take any then you really need A LOT of water. At least that's my understanding, not a doctor or medical student, please enlighten me!

    Appreciate the video. For me as a water sommelier I talk all the time about the importance of electrolytes and water. One of the big issues we are facing in the US is that many bottled water brands are nothing else than highly processed tap water where electrolytes are purified out and added back in very small amounts. On the bottle it says "electrolytes added" but they don't tell you really how many electrolytes are added back in. The consumer sees the "electrolytes added" and thinks the water has tons of electrolytes. Therefore I am an advocate for drinking tap or when you want to buy bottled water, look for Mineral or Spring water, where electrolytes are infused naturally by nature in larger amounts.
    Again, thank you so much for the very informative video.
    Drink real - Be real, because water is not just water

      Are not we getting electrolytes mostly from food? Should not be an issue then if there is any in water or not.

    I'm always telling people to drink more water. Happy to see it all backed by science, and explained so wonderfully! Mostly grateful for my high school teachers always forcing us to carry our water bottles around.
