      Your channel is definitely the best source of information about how human body functions.

I have now lived without sugar, cookies, candy etc for 1,5 years and also switched to real butter and sea salt. Also been exercising about twice a week for 5 years. This year also kept alcohol away since a close person died because of drinking.

    I just listened to your segment on dehydration. Wow! It helped me to realize about my palpitations. I had a problem with dehydration, but now I use my water daily. I like lemon water with pink salt to start my day. I use to consume caffeine all day with coffee or coca- cola and had abnormal heart rhythms daily. You talk about panic attacks all the time....coffee, cola, chocolate, . Now I understand why I always went after chips or pretzels.. I went after salts and not sweets.. Now, I drink water and I use pink salt. I was drinking to much water, but hated the bathroom runs so I cut back. Not to mention nighttime runs. That caffeine gave me the worst case of incontinence. I now follow the Lord's word, "nothing in excess, in moderation.... Here I am at 70, I no longer have night time issue's. Thank you Mr. Ekberg, I pray you continue educating us. " You're the greatest". Remember Jackie Gleason ?...Again, thank you..☺

    Thank you Stan. I'm 52 and the bounce-back is pretty much 1 second or less. Based on other similar experiences in the comments, anecdotally it appears the test is based heavily on hydration or other factors and not much by age. I do a lot of strength training so I have been following a "half ounce per pound lean body weight" minimum for years. For me that is ~100oz and I can usually reach it. Currently I am working on incorporating your keto and fasting advice while scaling back the weights for a bit. I am trending the right way in only a week so I am super thankful for your expertise and hope you get the recognition you deserve.

    Two summers ago I was seeing a Doctor and I was telling her the dehydration symptoms and she never once told me I was possibly dehydrated. Thanks to Doctor Sten and UA-cam I learned what my problem was. Now I drink a lot more water and I pass the skin test and I no longer feel dizzy or have morning headaches. I also learned that if you dont drink enough water your body will still wake you up to urinate because your body is cleansing itself at night. Give it the water so your body works effectively. I found I rest easier and fall back asleep faster.

    I won't complain... I'm 55 and the BB is 4-5 seconds... 🤗 But I'll add that in 04/20 I was 315lbs and today I am 218lbs and IF every 6-8 weeks for 96hrs to encourage autophagy to help with the extra skin to help tighten and firm it up.
    EDIT 07/22/21: I did the above pinch test first thing after waking up and before any morning hydration. After waiting till after... The results were 1-2 seconds BB. So looks like I should wait till I replenish my fluids lost while sleeping...
    First! 😱🤣

      I also do a carb load every other 4-day fast. Seems to help balance things well and trains my body to switch back and forth between ketones and insulin. Just a whole lot cleaner than before.

    Since I've been feeding my cat a more species-appropriate diet (basically, the best canned food I can find) she never drinks water anymore. I'm pretty sure she was getting a ton of excess carbs before. I also don't open-feed her now. Feeling guilty, I decided to change her diet after my health improved so much from eating LCHF/IF. She's about 20, and seems to have a lot of energy and vitality again.

    @greghutch7471 Рік тому

    Urine color changes from B vitamins to darker yellow, and goes red if we ate beets as well as from other things. Most people are dehydrated and when that happens our bodies reduce or stop our thirst. I have brought my thirst back by drinking 1/2 oz of water per pound body weight each day for about a month or until it returned. Then my natural thirst determines when and how much water I drink. I always start the day drinking water with 'sole', including some unprocessed salt that has minerals in it, such as Celtic Sea Salt.
