Is drinking a lot of water good for you? Let’s talk about it.
I’m not against drinking water. I drink about two and a half liters of water every day.
However, water doesn’t actually hydrate you-it may even dehydrate you. There is even such a thing as water intoxication, also known as water poisoning or overhydration.
Specific proteins allow water to go into your cells with the help of electrolytes. When you drink excessive amounts of water without electrolytes, you dilute the body’s electrolytes-mainly sodium. Hyponatremia is a condition where a person has low sodium levels in the blood.
Symptoms of hyponatremia can include:
• Muscle weakness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Irritability
• Cramping
• Brain swelling
• EAH
Common causes of hyponatremia:
• Exercising
• Addison’s disease
• Drinking alcohol
• A hypothyroid condition
• Diuretics
• SSRIs
• Diabetes
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Excessive sweating
• Certain medications
Infants are also susceptible to hyponatremia.
There have actually been deaths caused by people drinking about six liters of water within a three-hour period.
On the flip side, if you’re susceptible to kidney stones, you should drink at least two and a half liters of fluid a day.
I think two to two and a half liters of fluid a day is reasonable. If you’re exercising, it’s important to make sure you don’t drink too much water without electrolytes, causing hyponatremia.
If you use an electrolyte powder in your water when exercising, make sure it’s a sports version with plenty of sodium or take sodium with it.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the dangers of drinking too much water. I’ll see you in the next video.
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.
OMG 😲, I'm A Diabetic And I Try To Drink Two 64 Oz. Of Water A Day, One 64oz In The Morning, And One 64oz In The Evening.
@@herculesdon3I drink almost zero water per year...and get almost all fluids through daily foods, milk, coffee, pure orange juice and beer. I also add zero salt to my meals.
@@Globetrotter-1 Would probably be good to dilute orange/other juices with added water. Dehydration is also bad. In fact, if your coffee is caffeinated, beware.
"The caffeine in coffee... causes your body to pass more urine," a further dehydration risk factor. - GoodRx
I was told by my Drs in the hospital to drink 64oz of water
Daily
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.
Electrolytes. That's the missing piece.
I was in Basic in '99 also . Except at Ft Leonard Wood. They pushed water on us like crazy too.
What do you mean drinking a lot of water won't hydrate you? Get me the best Lawyer the Vatican has to offer. I'M GOING TO SUE GOD.
USAF basic in San Antonio, Texas, Sept 1974 - hot as hell, but we were given salt tablets along with the water.
@@Oneshot8242 that’s what we should have been given. Some days when we got back to the barracks, we would all have salt on our faces.
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.
where do you get electrolyte packs
Do you remember craving salt?
@@colleenshea2293 any supermarket. And no I didn't crave salt. I craved more water.

I'm glad you told your story because it will help others but it's not Amazon's job to train you about your health.
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.👌👍👏👏👏

I dont know about yall, but I completely prefer nutrition, and Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto, instead of needing drugs, alcohol or a 2 liter of coca-cola to feel "normal" and function every day❗️ FACTS DR. BERG 💯
What do you mean you prefer nutrition ?!? lol
Syringes can definitely get your nutrients in 😂are you high in the sky. Water 💦 is the topic !
I agree😊
Yes, highly preferred!
No, I prefer the other, the carnivore diet. I don't eat the rabbit diet 😁
Dr. Berg, you pay attention to every important point in life that helps us to stay healthy. Thank you.
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.

I’m currently pregnant and no matter how much water I drink I seem to always feel dehydrated😢! I notice some difference when I drink coconut water or lemon water but regular h20 doesn’t always do it for me. This video and comment is very helpful. Thx
But doesn't coconut water also have a lot of sugar, which is what we are supposed to avoid on a keto diet?
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.
A tiny pinch of celtic sea salt when you drink helps to absorb water, as Barbara O'Neill teaches.
Love Barbara
Always grateful to hear your comments on smart nutrition and self care. I’m glad to be receiving your web emails, etc.

Thank you Dr. Berg for getting the information out on how to hydrate better, and although I am a water fanatic, I know that too much of a good thing would not work as well as a moderate amount even in fasting
Grateful, dear Dr. Berg. You declared many truths, I didn't know.🙏
Thank you Eric for this information ❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
I remember drinking a lot of energy drink.
I was in 44th MedCom at Bragg. Ft Sam AIT yahoo!!
The old man used to tell me he got salt tabs in Vietnam. Do they not do that anymore?
so what would be the cheapest source of "electrolytes"? can you make one yourself at home?
@@DarkVegetaman maybe if you're in a war zone. Not in just regular training they don't.
Hi Doc, just want to say thank you for making these videos.
Yes! Dr. Berg. Thank you for sharing. A Czech doctor is saying this for many years. I actually had water poisoning before so I’m careful. I’m very thankful for you ❤
This is really true, I experienced it! Thanks Dr Eric Berg for this very informative article! Now I know more because I experienced this before. God bless!
Such a Great information‼️
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.

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.

Thank you I tell you these videos are like playing tennis and the match never ends . 😂
Omg yasss!!! Thank you for making this video! I love your videos and it greatly helped me mentally too!
One of the best ways to get hydrated is through eating high water content plants. The water in plants is EZ (exclusion zone) water which is a gel. If you drink plain water your body has to convert it to EZ water for the cells to take it in and utilize it. Desert peoples know which desert plants have abundant water and use these to stay hydrated.
Very true! Thanks for this reminder about drinking water too much and affecting the electrolyte balance.
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
It's not just middle east medicine tradition, it's a Muslim practise.

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.
so what to drink then on the hot days ?
@@MaDGriZz78 Liquid IV. Look it up. Either that or Gatorade but I recently switched about 2 months ago to Liquid IV for myself (I'm 53) and my 12 year old daughter who plays soccer and runs in cross country.

@@hoolian1934how do you add electrolytes?
You are greatly appreciated Dr. Berg!
Great video. This makes alot of sense to me. Working hard, running marathons an strength training hard. This video explains alot of stuff I've run into
I’ve been drinking 100 ounces of water throughout the day for decades. Never had a problem. But also not in one sitting. And I exercise regularly. Although I’ve always had high blood pressure so I have to watch sodium intake. Last blood test the only thing that was a bit off and slightly out of range was one entry. I asked the doctor what that was. He said, “Oh that just means you’re very well hydrated. But nothing to worry about.” This is still good to know though and just be mindful of the water intake.
Back in my younger days, I was an aircraft mechanic who worked in an non-airconditioned hangar in Miami, FL. Miami is hot, metal buildings are even hotter than that, and metal airplanes inside of metal buildings are really up there on the hotness scale. We had salt table dispensers on the wall and could take them whenever we felt like we needed them. Nothing drives home the amount of salt you're sweating out like seeing dark shirts with white salt rings on them, on 50, or so, of your co-workers.
Dr Berg is literally my favorite 🙌🏽he explains everything so well. Sending this from South Africa
Love your videos. So informative.
Thank you Dr Berg for your great medical information. 😊
Thanks again Doctor Berg. You are doing regular people such a great service.

When I was young and participated in intensive sports , we were told to drink not earlier than 2 hrs after, not during activities. These days people are walking for 30-60 min with a bottle of water in hand.
Yeah they do, part of looking cool man.
I never go anywhere without my 40oz ceramic lined water jug. I even carry a backup in my truck. I guess I'm a health nut or something, but I don't trust any water from anywhere in any form nowadays. In fact, I make my own "holy water" using the "Fukushima method." Then I add 3 tbsps of organic lemon juice, 1 tspn of organic baking soda as a buffer and 1 tspn of sea salt. To me, it's like drinking kool aid or something. The baking soda kinda gives it a carbonated affect too.
Waiting to drink water two after intensive exercise seems wildly excessive and dangerous in the opposite direction.
@@Biggiiful I was thinking the same thing. A much better recommendation would be to only "sip" water (with salt) for two hours after intensive exercise.
It makes me laugh when someone is out on a 5k with a water bottle in hand. You’ll survive.
I heard somewhere that your body can only process 8 oz of water / hour. When I first started drinking more water my mouth felt parched, like my body was screaming for more water. I started just holding the water in my mouth for a while to not excessively drink it but help with the feeling of excessive thirst.
So grateful for this message💙🙏🏼
Glad you found it helpful!

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.

Hi - How much were you drinking, per day?
I had the same episode, and went to the emergency 🆘! All most going choke, just CRAZYYYYY! Thank you so much Dr. Berg! Thanks to you, now I can put a name in the choke that I had!🙏🏻❤️
I think this happened to me, too. Their (the ER's) only approximate explanation was angioedema and it was a dangerous swelling of my tongue and throat. My angioedema (twice monthly random swelling) stopped once I started eating more (healthy) fat, like avocados, EVOO, and olives. Fyi, our cells are surrounded by a phospholypid bilayer (essentially fat). It's still a hypothesis, but I believe it's not just salt that balances/holds/separates fluid inside and outside our cells ... it's that fatty cell membrane. People these days are so afraid of fat, thinking (wrongly) that it's fat that makes us fat, so they avoid fat altogether. Fat restriction is a BAD idea. It's the only other macro nutrient we NEED for energy and literally can't be used for energy, as long as we're constantly fueling our "car" with carbohydrates. There are good and bad fats. Best to educate yourself, if you haven't already. Other than trans fats, the main unhealthy "fat" is actually from excess / un-needed carbs (essentially excess glucose in the blood that gets converted into triglycerides). High triglycerides are much worse than high cholesterol. Cholesterol is actually one of the most essential nutrients in the body. Much love to anyone reading this. There's a lot we still don't know about the miracle that is the Human body.
Thank you dr berg for good advice. I love to look at all your channel. God bless you and stay bless.
Dr Berg your videos are extremely informative and have helped me tremendously! Thank you sir
I seen youtubers promoting drinking more than a gallon of water a day it's crazy
TO get adequate electrolytes, about once or twice a week I have begun drinking a small cup of water with 1 tsp each of sodium, potassium, magnesium powder, then chasing it down with regular water, usually flavored with lemon or lime and or a fruit tea bag. It is actually not as bad as you would think, tastes a bit sweet even. But that way, I worry less about how much potassium and sodium I am salting my food with. I also supplement with magnesium pills, since we get relatively little from food these days, as the soil is depleted.
🤯. This is super helpful, I never thought of it this way! 💖
This is so true. Very happy that you talk about it.
I'm glad it helped you!

For the last 1-1/2 years, on your healthy keto, I've been drinking on average between 8 and 12 bottles of (16 oz) spring water with a scoop of your electrolyte powder in each bottle and it makes me feel good, of course I work very hard out doors/physical activities, so I need it.

My late father worked outdoors and took salt tablets to balance the sweat he was losing.
I always drink plenty of water but I also consume salt with food.

The biggest sign you need salt is muscle cramping.
Without salt, your cells cannot absorb water.

Im glad i learnt this valuable information last year.

How true. Back in the 60s l picked grapes in the lmperial and Coachella Valley ( S. Calif.) in the summer, from 6 am to sometimes 9 pm. Temperatures were over 110 almost every day. My mom would put plenty of salt in our lunch and our field foreman would hand out a small box of salt tablets to everyone. The reason being cause we were drinking tons of water, as we all carried aluminum canteens. We were sweating up a storm. None of my family members ever got sick, but several other people got very sick almost every day, they never took their salt tablets. It was horrible seeing them collapse and curl up underneath the vineyards vomit, shaking and delirious. Some we never saw again!
What Dr. Berg says is true. This video is very good information. Thank you.

I also started to put a pinch of pink salt to the first bottle of water (or glass) I have each morning. Made a huge difference. I wasn’t peeing every 20 minutes which I found very annoying and prevented me from drinking water sometimes when for example, if I had an hour meeting or longer.

I’m working out again after having a baby and then a back injury. I’m drinking electrolytes (Redmond Relyte) twice/day now or a little more if I’m working out. I’m still breastfeeding and it makes a huge difference with my energy, and I also have had no major muscle soreness from my heavy leg workouts. It’s incredible and I can’t believe I used to deal with so much muscle soreness when I used to train heavily years ago …and times I used it think I had low blood sugar, often now after taking my electrolytes I feel much better.

When I was working on the Railroad our employers would always supply us with water, "drinking" salts, and gatorade/powerade to keep us properly hydrated and I'd usually bring my own water additives, it definitely helped a ton. It's crazy you've just posted this as I recently saw an article from a local news station about a women who'd drank too much water (around 2 gallons in a few hours I believe) and passed away.
Thanks Doc. ❤I love to drink 💦 water so much but now that you give me very good advice I will drop my intake to 2 liters a day. I appreciate you and your knowledge. 👍⭐️❤️
So true! Everytime I've forced myself to drink more water because I'm "supposed" to, I feel like crap.
On the flip side, keeping my electrolytes balanced makes me feel GREAT! I tried a different electrolyte powder brand recently, and I started feeling bad...low energy, hungry more often, achey. I switched back to my usual powder and feel much better. I just ordered some of Dr. Berg's powder and can't wait to try it!

You're very welcome.
I get constipated even with enough fiber and psyllium husk so I've always had to drink a lot of water or I can't go regularly. About three liters a day will keep me going smooth. My girl friend and others I know have little issue with drinking very little water throughout the day. It is worth mentioning that one should already be hydrated before eating a meal so that you don't drink while you eat as separating your hydration and food consumption will make it easier on your body to do what it does.
I watched a "health" video recently that said you should drink water with meals to dilute your digestive acids. 🙄
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.
@@ProRighteousantiDevilish-wk7ur but i dont feel replenished after drinking water.
Please don't listen to everyone on this blog because certain advisements could potentially hurt or cause injury to you.
You said you are already drinking a gallon a day and someone is here advising you that a gallon a day is not enough water intake.
I don't believe that advice is a good one.
@@peterpatton2867 Correct, a gallon of water a day is never too little. The electrolytes need to be added in. I stated above, a few times a week I add a teaspoon of sodium, potassium and magnesium each to a cup of water, drink that, then chase it down with something more pleasant - but that's just me, all at once then not worry about it.

@@ProRighteousantiDevilish-wk7ur You do make a point, if people are eating mostly processed, high sodium foods, they are in a very different place than people like me, who mostly only buy organic ingredients and so I know precisely how little sodium I am taking in, thus I supplement, with sea salt and some sodium/potassium/magnesium electrolyte water. The core idea is to balance the salts, not that someone has too much or too little sodium. More or less sodium is ok, so long as it is balanced with a good amount of potassium and magnesium salts in the body. Potassium and sodium work in opposition, one brings water into the cells, one lets the water out. Magnesium, an argument can be made that we ALL get too little of it as the soils food grows in are depleted these days. Calcium, too, is vital - but I get enough of it from organic heavy cream and sour cream and occasional yogurt/kefir.
Amazing stuff, well done again… great vid 🎉
Thank you. Glad you like the video.
. This is super helpful, I never thought of it this way!
Very glad to be of help.
The water I've just been drinking in the north of Norway compared say to London tap water is chalk and cheese! In fact, I once attended a tea connoisseur gathering at Fortnum & Mason in Regent Street and watched as all the connoisseurs tasted the various varieties of so-called 'tea', and I got some real nasty looks when I spoke quite loud and reminded them that it was London tap water they were all savouring! Distilled rain water has gotta be the very best you can do for your health, and especially if it's been hit by lightning on the way down to ensure it's full of electrolytes, lol! 🌧
Good morning Dr. Berg, I have a left ectopic kidney that is wrapped around my main vein and I'm not sure if it's from that or from being low in potassium, I'm also not urinating like I should. I get the urge and at times only go in trinkets or sometimes I really go. I notice at times when drinking acv I go more than when I don't, but I worry about the coughing I get after heartburn that not only acv gives me, but also hcl. I notice when I wonder if I am salt sensitive get swollen ankles, but maybe I'm really lacking LOTS of potassium. So thinking it's my kidney, but in actuality it's lack of potassium?. I listened to your answer on Rumble regarding possible ulcer and how I'm drinking a shot of wheatgrass in the AM and needing to eat cabbage. I listened to your short clip on acv last night and watched this and I'm starting to place the pieces together. Could I be right? Sending warmest hugs!
Finally the truth. Talk about the overuse of sunscreen too.
Thank you doc for sharing another informative video
My pleasure!
Excellent sharing great vidios Dr.Berg
And avoid drinking water during meal times, it dilutes the stomach acid which needs to be strong and concentrated to aide denaturing of proteins.
I have a different experience. When i drink during my meal, i find that the water is absorbed rather than just passing through, it helps with my regular bowel movement. If i drink on empty stomach, i had to pee right after and it just feel pointless too me. If you have enough stomach acid i dont think drinking water during meal will affects that much. That being said, i do take my water with acv often.
Dr. Berg is the man. Love the vids 👍🙏
Another great one! Thanks Dr Berg
