It's not so much the amount of water it's the electrolytes the body needs. You can add that to your water for the main benefits, research electrolyte powders.
The first moment I opened this, I had to replay it three times, thinking _did she just say_ "[name] is one of the longest people ever?" _i think so, what does the transcript show? Oh, yep this is one long person, I guess_
Enjoyed it. Get you a pop filter for your microphone though.

I drank a glass of water. Where is my happiness that I was promised?
It's more like, if you drink enough water than your mind has a chance to be happy.
I am bipolar. When I'm less depressed or manic, I drink more water.
Try Beer then, helps me everytime!
The trick is to drink half, and then think of the glass as "half full" 😜
@@MuttFitness or like if you didn’t drink enough you would likely feel worse
The feeling of thirst decreases as you get older. I think it may be a major contribution to brain fog that comes on older folks. If you care about older people, encourage them to drink more water.
If you care about an old person who has brain fog encourage them to see a doctor. You have no reason to believe that dehydration is a major contribution to brain fog. You think they would have figured this out by now if it’s a major contributor, but leave it to @shermanhofacker4428 to speculate in TH-cam comments. Stick to what works, your comment is silly.
That was what I encouraged my siblings to do when we visited my elderly mom. Give her water, she could interact better and made more sense.
My mother is 94 and has Alzheimer's. It's a constant battle getting her to drink enough. I give her a full mug of tea but she only ever drinks half or just a few sips and then forgets about it and lets it go cold. She will look at it and say "I can't drink all that!" but I honestly can't understand why it's so difficult for her.
@@bethel1019 My grandma has dementia at the same age progressing rapidly and doesn't drink enough water. Aside from forgetting or getting tired while eating, the main reason is toileting and incontinence issues-- she hates having to go to the bathroom "too much" when she feels tired (she doesn't go enough-- she's had a few UTIs) and hates changing her pads, doing pericare etc. When she had UTIs and came home from the hospital, we would almost have to shower her every time she used the bathroom because of the mess. And she would be physically weak from being in the hospital, so it was very hard assisting with self-care. That was a three-person task, normally it would be one-on-one. It's been better with PT, OT, and Home Health coming by to help with rehab and she is stronger now, but age still gets to her. Sometimes she can't use the bathroom by herself because she's not strong enough to lift herself off the toilet and she hates asking anyone for help (we supervise her and help anyways). She always insists on coffee every day for breakfast (she never finishes it), and some fluid is better than none, but we have the same problem trying to get her to drink more water. It helps putting the water in a light plastic cup with a straw-- instead of drinking a full cup at once, we come back frequently to check on her and she'll drink through the straw in sips. She still doesn't drink as much water. But the straw strategy helps a lot with elderly pop because it gives them some control over their bodily functions. I believe you when you say it's a constant battle to keep your loved ones healthy. It really is
That's likely just a symptom of "if you don't use it, you lose it" haha.
“Maro prosberry is one of the longest people to survive without water” the idea of a long person frightens me, but the fact they don’t need water is even worse

Being hydrated is all fun and games until you’re peeing every 10 minutes. I tend to drink a gallon and a half a day and most of my time is spent in the restroom lol
Lmao same only I don't drink that much of anything (water or anything else) but I'm peeing constantly oop
@@roisinnigcrainn7722 thats the POINT lmao. If you dont pee enough you get kidney stones. What do you think peeing DOES
There should be about 2 litres of liquid in your organism for it to get the work done
Same lmao, but it depends, when ur body gets used to it, it will hold the water longer, at least for me
One consumes water through the kind of food they eat as well. Like vegetables & fruits have a lot of water & fiber in them unlike carb rich simple starches that are gluten rich. And it also matters how you drink the water ie the speed with which you take it in. I dare you, drink two glasses of water in an hour sip by sip (it sounds time taking but it can be done) while sitting down and you won't need to rush to the loo like you would have if you drank both glasses in one go
@@KOTEBANAROT Peeing every ten minutes isn't healthy though lol. I'm pretty sure kidney stones develop because of diets with foods high in oxalate because kidney stones are literally made out of calcium oxalate. Basically do not eat spinach every day.

The funny thing is is that your brain thought and typed that comment
I don't understand
I've found that the easiest way to "stay hydrated" is to simply notice the color of your urine! If it's a dark yellow, you need more water. Once it becomes very light yellow (or clear), you can stop, because beyond that point, your body is simply discarding any additional water you drink.

@@yolii16 I have chronic pain issues. I go to a pain clinc. I've never been told to drink more water. I'm definited going to give this a try. I know my pain won't entirely go away. But it's better than having to take stronger medicine.
After I drank some water my mood changed from "really-bad" to calm. It made me realize that moodiness can be related to water intake. I hope this video will save more people from bad mood and maybe bad decisions.
Thank you
Interesting, I've been feeling bad lately, I'm going to start drinking more water and then (maybe) I'll come back here to say if I've gotten better!
I'm an avid water drinker, and literally more attached to my water bottle than anyone else. So watching this made me feel better about myself 😭😭😭😭
Saaaame, I dont understand people who dont bring a watter bottle with them everywhere like I die if I forget mine
same, I’m glad I’m not alone. I literally bring my water bottle everywhere
just remember to wash it every day lol (something i don’t do but should)
Thats me haha average 3 liters a day
Just be careful you arent flushing yourself. So many ding bats these days chugging stuff like alkaline and distilled water thinking more is better. We get enough water through food so you shouldnt really need to drink much on top of that.
When I had my severe brain injury, and after my coma and brain surgery, I hadn’t drank water in 4 days, I was only getting nutrients through a tube in my vein. After not having any food or water for 5 days, you will literally dream, imagine, and think about drinking water 24/7. I wasn’t allowed to drink any water due to electrolyte imbalance. After a couple days of nothing, you will literally only be able to think about just drinking water. It’s crazy.
I was also in a coma and coming out they didn't allow me water for awhile too and I couldn't wait to have some! It was honestly distressing being told I couldn't have any.
@@laurelpowell8536they told me i couldn’t have any for surgery (obviously) and i felt sick that whole night.

You should do a video on the affects of drinking too much water. There is a limit on how much is safe to consume before it becomes dangerous to drink more
water poisoning is real. not having electrolytes to balance the osmosis can be fatal.
Only in very recent modern times have humans had access to 8 glasses of clean water daily. I don’t think we are designed to flush out our electrolytes like this. It can cause heart attacks/afib and other health issues. Humans evolved getting hydration from blood,meat, vegetables etc rarely straight water unless in a very north climate where pathogens are less
Water intoxication
Dogs thar swim die regularly of water intoxication (drinking too much water) if they drink while swimming.
Dog owners should carry electrolytes, as there isn't time to get to a vet.
The number of people who went to drink water because of this video is probably immeasurable. Something about the way you made this video made me immediately crave water, and I am assume im not the only one

I suffer from severe ADHD. I used to literally just *forget* to eat and drink when playing games or doing other stuff I liked. When I got medicated, it was way easier to keep a consistent shedule and habits, like regularly drinking water. I can´t stress enough how much of a game changer that was for me. No brain fog, massive short term memory improvement, better concentration...
It´s hard to tell what gets improved by what and how much, but it definitely felt like getting a boost on top.
On the downside though, it really messed with my emotional stabillity and sleep shedule, as those meds tend to cause sleeping disorders...
I hope I´ll figure that one out as well some day.
Saaame. I was so surprised when I found out that drinking water and eating wasn’t supposed to be a conscious choice. It’s so much easier to remember to eat and drink now tho.
@@DecayOpossum Haha I feel that yeah. I was like "wait, it´s not normal for people to get up in the morning and find their phone in the fridge?!"
I mean, how are you supposed to know if you never didn´t had it, righ?
Wait okay but HOW?! Even on my meds (Strattera, which dries you out like antidepressants do) I still find myself forgetting to drink my water. I don’t realize how bad I am until I have headaches and thirst close to bedtime because I get so focused on my work/hobbies. From one ADHD sufferer to another, I’m begging for help LOL
@@TheMessCalledJess It really is a mix between conciously reminding yourself (via timers for example) and making it a habit.
Also before you start doing anything else, make sure you have a drink ready in grabbing vincinity! I have like 4 different water bottles ready in the most used places of my house, like next to my working setup and in the kitchen, etc.
If you take a stimulant like adderall then I highly recommend supplementing vitamin b1, calcium, magnesium (especially L Threonate), zinc, vitaminD, potassium, and adrenal fatigue healing herbal supplements. I take a calcium, magnesium, and potassium all in one so it’s not too many individual pills. These really helped me. Stimulant ADHD medication often depletes more than we are aware of.
Thank you for this well researched piece! As an RN, I can tell you, it’s a real challenge to convince patient’s to drink enough! Their lab work and kidney function isn’t always a reason they can entirely wrap their mind around.
I’ve been hearing “drink water” and “stretch” my whole life but this video and your video on fascia have really drilled into me the benefits these actions will have on my day to day life

Def going to have this in the back of my mind, as someone who doesn't drink nearly enough water. Also for anyone else struggling with this, I found just having water right next to you makes you drink more than if you didn't. So like a big water bottle that lasts you most of the day or anything of that sort.
I'm taking a human anatomy course and a human diseases course and your explanations make a lot of sense and are really well put in a layperson's perspective. Great work!~
When i was a kid a doctor came to our school to talk about the dehydration and the negative effects of it, he said you when ever you feel tired or depressed in the middle of your task, take a break and drink 4 glass of water and it will gives you lots of energy for the next hour and you can see you're more motivated to continue your task.
and I'm doing it ever since it's crazy how effective it is and now with your explanation in this video it makes so much sense!
Thank you kiana for your awesome videos and super awesome editing on your videos :)
Four glasses of water in an hour would make me pee soon. I guess that'd keep me awake. But I will take the advice to drink plenty of water to feel energized, just not that much.
@@janejones7638 maybe they meant 4 oz glass of water? Lol 🤭 I cant imagine 4 glasses in less than an hour
4 glasses of water in an hour is insane.
I'll take this advice-
4 glasses or 4 cups? 4 glasses is a lot...
I've noticed that if I have a tumbler of water with a straw, I drink WAY more water when busy than if it's from a bottle where I have to remove the lid and lift the bottle up. Like, 2-3 times the amount. Maybe that will help someone else too haha
I've also noticed that when I'm anxious I don't know what to do with my hands, so I trained myself to grab my water to keep them busy 😅
It helped me lol, thanks :)
For me a sipper bottle is essential. I love the klean kanteen pull up top
I'm kind of a clumsy drinker but sometimes I take the top off for a big sip of water when eating meals and want extra because I can be deliberate
Absolutely, with a straw I chug more of it down. With a bottle I tend to forget about it and it requires opening the cap.
Same. 🥤
It might be because you don’t have to break your concentration to gain access to the water. With a lid, having to screw it off breaks your focus as opposed to absentmindedly reaching toward a straw
I really needed this very differentiated reminder of things I already know. I often get distracted from drinking water and notice only when I realize I’m parched and exhausted. The state of my depression has made it harder to provide the bare minimum for my poor brain to try to brain me out of it, too weak to care about adding proverbial insult to injury, and obviously too dehydrated to put 2+2 together.
I can think of a bunch of ways the driving while mildly dehydrated study could have gone wrong. I'd be extremely skeptical without seeing in much greater detail how the study was conducted.
For me, water was the missing ingredient for making my hair grow. It always grew ridiculously slow, and I was doing all the right things; silk pillowcase, nutritious food, exercise, gentle cleaning and treatment, vitamins, protein, all of it. But I started to drink more water for other reasons, and my hair started to grow like a weed! My skin looked better than ever, I had more energy, and I was happier. So drink your water! :)

If you’re in an area where tap water is available try that. It’s actually healthier & can always use a filtration filter we have a pitcher or put it in the fridge if it’s the taste.
I drink so muchhh 🤤
Yeah I would definitely recommend getting a water filter. Bottled water is literally just filtered tap water and you’ll probably save thousands of dollars by using a filter instead of buying bottles, plus there is a lot less garbage around your home. Just made the switch recently, as I am a bit of a water guzzler (10-16 cups per day).
Right 🤣🤣
I used to basically only drink soda or coffee. It got to the point that I never recognized when I was thirsty, I just craved those two things. One day it just hit me that I have to start drinking water. And to my surprise, the more water I started to consume, the more thirsty I started to feel. Moments came when I felt like all I need right now is WATER and no amount of soda/coffee could change that. Now I can't understand how I survived without drinking water all day every day.
Soda and coffee are still water so it’s not really that bad, but caffeine can make you lose water a little quicker.
@@Crabbadabba caffeine is irritating to the bladder so it makes you pee more often and many sodas also have caffeine so it is negative water basically

Trying to drink more water is a vicious cycle with adhd, I already have brain fog myself, which leads me to forget to drink water. But this was a huge motivation
Thank you so much for this honestly the way you described having to actually see what the body goes through in order to be more motivated to take Care of yourself is exactly what I think a lot of young people today need. I'm not super old or anything But I'm actually in recovery from alcohol abuse and once I started drinking it didn't seem like that big of a deal until I started waking up feeling like i've been ran over. When you said it took the guy 2 years to recover I can Wonder exactly what we're putting ourselves through when we're binge drinking for just one weekend.
I force myself to drink water on a regular basis, even when I am not thirsty, because dehydration occurs before you even realize that you are dehydrated.

I love drinking water. I have OCD, and whenever I notice my anxiety is climbing or obsessions are becoming harder to ignore, I stop and drink as much water as comfortable. It doesn't erase the anxiety and sometimes it does nothing, but most of the time, it helps me regain control. I also find drinking water during lectures and homework helps me stay focused. It just feels good to be hydrated!

If you increase your water intake, be sure to keep up your electrolytes as well. You can drink a lot of water and still get dehydrated if you’re not replacing the electrolytes you pee out. This will also help you prevent constipation.
How do you increase your electrolyte intake?

With the modern diet most electrolytes are gotten through food, that is, unless you drink tons of water.
This is actually mind blowing
I should drink SOOOO much more water and I know it, but my body doesn't send the "you are thirsty" signal often enough!
As a runner in highschool I was barely drinking 60 oz of water a day, but once I started to drink 140+ oz of water I immediately performed better during workouts and overall felt better
I'd be forcing down 60 ounces a day, I don't understand how people can take in so much fluid and not spend the day in the bathroom.
@@kingmasterlord that's only 1.7 litres ....
basic recommendation for moderate climates is 2 litres a day if you don't work hard and have some water in your food
workouts, higher temperatures, brainwork, physical work , etc, basically all activities you should drink more
if youre eating a high-protein diet you should drink considerably more to protect your kidneys
@@kingmasterlord At first perhaps, but your bladder adjusts to the increased amount. Also, concentrated urine irritates the bladder more than diluted urine, so even though there's more liquid in it, you won't actually feel the need to go until you actually have to go.
Back in college whenever i had to study for longs periods of time i really felt i needed to drink water like if i was running or something, or else i couldnt last that long, it amazes me of all the benefits of something so simple as drinking enough water on a daily basis

I LOVED how informative this video was and the narrator‘s voice was awesome!
The counterintuitive reality for many people is that the less you drink, the less thirsty you feel. I used to force myself to drink two large cups of water after I get up in the morning, which helped me actually feel thirsty and drink a lot more throughout the day.
This year I got into (unsweetened) tea, and I was able to drop that two cup routine.
Anyways, I found that this 2-liter water/day recommendation is just absurdly low for me, even when I'm not very active.
I use to barely drink 1 liter a day, after being told I was forming crystals in my kidney due to dehydration she ordered me to drink a minimum of 2 liters a day. After doing this for only 3 weeks, I easily put down 4 liters a day as a non active person. If I go to the gym or doing anything active I can definitely hit 6 liters
I used to have wicked headaches and never attributed it to dehydration. I’ve always been a notoriously poor water drinker in that I don’t feel much thirst generally. But when my doctor couldn’t find a reason for my headaches, he suggested I increase my water intake. When I did, my headaches drastically decreased. I still struggle to drink enough water, but I’m much more aware now because I know what happens when I don’t.
And what about your cognitive abilities and overall mood? Have you felt any changes?
Interesting. I remember having frequent headaches out of nowhere as a kid. No stress, no reason to have them. I'd be just playing some games and then go through a bad headache.
I experienced the same.
@@HighSoldierTF2Officiala lot of people get headaches from not drinking enough water! When someone says they have a headache, I always tell them to chug a bottle of water.
Same here. I also get really tired during the day, and when I do my partner reminds me that I’ve only had a sip and to drink some water 😅
This explains why I'm so angry, dumb, confused, tired, and angry after work.
So interesting! I usually drink a lot of water, but I notice if I’m really tired (from a late night or whatever) that I forget to drink water. I then get this horrible combined feeling of fatigue, lethargy and bad mood from being tired and mildly dehydrated. Once I remind myself to drink water the feeling of tiredness from the lack of sleep is barely noticeable. (I’ve got small kids so have lots of experience with lack of sleep. Ha ha)
I have found this information extremely motivating. Thank you!
Hey! The only thing that I've noticed in your videos is sometimes the lack of sources that we ourselves can follow up on. For instance, around the 7:55 mark you say "according to one scientist..." with no documentation showing who this scientist is or their credentials. These sources will help give further validity to your already strong videos, and will help your cause in the long run since you don't have a little piece of paper saying you know what you're talking about (though it seems clear that you do indeed know and have done your research). Cheers.

“I need to understand the science behind something in order to feel motivated to do it.”
Omg! Yes! This is me literally to a T. I say this to people all the time. I’ll even force myself to do something I don’t even like if I know “why” it’s good for me to do it.
we hardly have any mechanistic understanding of anything , though . I think the verified clinical efficacy of a practice should be a sufficient motivation for the practice's implantation
This is a common modern problem
@@faeancestor that really depends on the veracity of the study, but I take your point.
@@kuhmpashunyeah, I do understand why the "why" is so important, humans are storytelling apes after all. But just be careful not to put the "why" over the evidence. The reason pseudoscience is everywhere is because it's basically fun stories, compelling "why"'s, explanations. But it's just not supported by the evidence. And like that other person said, there are lots of things we know to be true, that have been tested over and over, but we just don't know why it works that way; a whole bunch of facts and evidence is even counterintuitive, going against the logic of most of the stories we know about other stuff. It almost goes against human nature, but the evidence must always come first; then, if you're able to find a good story, a good "why" to make sense of the facts, by all means indulge in it to make the facts sink in. But be extremely careful of a "why" without evidence; in fact, unless you're a scientist and treat that fun idea as no more than a hypothesis to be tested, avoid it like the plague.
Yes absolutely! I do this on pills and, as per usual, I halve them. I'd rather find the true problem than treat the symptoms, unfortunately America is headstrong on the latter- leaving you to suffer and take pills for the rest of your life so that you fall victim to pharmaceutical companies. Money over quality of life.
That said, I avoid pills like the plague. If I need a pain pill every now and then, I'm fine. Yet several times over, I've been diagnosed with GAD (anxiety) and depression, given antidepressants, then sent away! It's ridiculous. I was perfectly happy and content despite anxiety, and my depression is a direct result from my medical trauma/issue that nobody cares to diagnose. I've hauled my own ass out of my problems despite the large stigma on doing so, because in the end, the American healthcare system doesn't care about it's citizens, unless they can physically see a broken limb. Tch.
Needless to say, I'm fortunate my mind is quite assertive in telling me *no* on antidepressants just shoved down my throat as a lazy band-aid "solution." I don't need to become dependent on something that will heighten my problems, and I don't have the money to spare on that. I'm not against them, but they aren't for me, despite what the ERs said. I can't believe my general practitioner put me on some as well.
Lmfao. You really have to save your money and solve your medical issue yourself. All the hospitals and ERs will do is tell you your issue is mental, send you home, just for you to come back even worse than before.
Sorry for the rant. I hate America's healthcare. All they did was add trauma onto my plate of an immensely difficult health issue.
I recently bought one of those large, 2L water bottles. It even has those helpful reminders printed on it and spaced two hours apart. It definitely serves as a very visible reminder to stay hydrated.
thank you for sharing this!!!
I always knew drinking water is very important and actually can help with overeating since many people eat when they are thirsty, but I never knew there's a connection between dehydration and brain thinning
Proper hydration and sleep were such game changers for me in terms of weight loss. If you're struggling to drink water directly from the bottle/glass, try drinking with a straw! I don't know why it worked for me, I went from struggling to drink 1 liter a day to now drinking up to 3 liters.
It tastes nicer
I couldn't drink water until I got a bowl, filled it with ice water, and just inhaled that stuff. A gallon a day. I don't do it often for some reason, but I'm gonna do it again right now.
It's weird, I try to drink plain water and it catches in my throat and makes me cough. It feels like drinking sandpaper or like I tried to swallow dry powder of some I nd
Thanks! Motivated!
Kiana, here we are 2 years after this video posted, and i have found it to be the slap in the face(figuratively and gladfully) that i DIDNT know i needed!! This subject has remained on my peripheral pretty much all my life+im an espresso/coffee light&sweet addict!!! So yes, you asked the audience back then, and here I am now to answer your in-video question to us, YOU, ESPECIALLY and your crystal clear and concise messaging is so greatly appreciated, and....
I FOUND it ABSOLUTELY MOTIVATING ,motivational, you are an angel, thank you for everything past and present!!
Girl you really got me together with this one 😅
3 uploads in a week.
The gods have blessed us.
(Also everyone knows that this is going to be a banger)
As a fight fan, this is extremely interesting and very concerning. MMA fighters go through extreme weight cuts where they severely dehydrate themselves to make weight. Would be interesting to know the long terms effects of this
Yeah.. weight bullying is not worth it. I’d rather fight in my natural weight against bigger guys than cut a lot of weight
Getting pounded in the head is probably worse long term
@@M_SC If you actually knew fighting, you'd know MMA is among the safest combat sports because of the thin gloves and use of submissions. It's harder to knock people out when you don't have big fat boxing gloves on. you can't punch at your fullest power without breaking your hand so opponents heads aren't getting jiggled as bad. And submissions are a way faster and safer way to end fights.
That practice needs to be banned. They should move the weigh in up to 1 hr before the fight. You don't make weight you get a fine.
@@M_SC seems like theres nothing inside your head to be pounded if you think that.
Always great watching your explorations 🫶🏼
Just found your channel. Thanks for reigniting my love of hydration. Definitely made me think I need to drink more water
Another thing I recently learned which has pushed me to drink more is if you have any joint issues, dehydration makes symptoms worse. I have three bulging discs in my lower back and because spinal discs are mostly water, you have less padding in your spine when you aren’t drinking enough.
Who else paused the video to go get a glass of water??? And Kiana, I thank you again for always raising awareness to important topics and keeping it interesting and easy to understand.
Also I need to add: Being a person who has epilepsy, my neurologist pointed out that dehydration can also be a trigger for seizures.
A good trick that helps me: keep a 1L bottle beside your bed. As soon as you wake up drink as much as you can. I usually try to drink the whole thing.
Try to drink most of your water during the daytime (to avoid late night bathroom trips).
And don't wait till you're thirsty to drink. Got a break? Drink water. After you went to the bathroom: Wash your hands first and drink water.
I know I'm gonna get some side eye for this but for me it really worked: craving something sweet? Drink a glass of water first. Wait 5 min. Re access your craving. Usually my body signals needs for sweets instead of thirst/need for water.
@@SGeerdink1 I actually absolutely agree with everything you said. Except for pausing the video to get a glass of water - I pretty much ALWAYS have my 1L Bottle beside me. I take it everywhere. If I take a nap or go to sleep it comes to bed with me, whenever I leave the house I will make sure a couple of times that it's with me and full. And I usually only drink out of my bottle, it takes friends a little getting used to that I don't use a glass😂 Before I was so radical about it and had such an - I actually will call it - emotional connection to my water bottle, I had a headache because of dehydration very frequently. Now, barely ever. I stand with my bottle!
Drinking water is overrated.
I saw your comment at the start of the video and thought “oh I’m fine” and then half way got more water 😂
I have 20 litre bottle of drinking water under my desk to hydrate! Checkmate! lol
Thank you. I’ve been going through a really tough time lately and maybe this will help a bit. I appreciate you
I drink over 4L (a gallon) of water a day, in addition to what I get from food. I had trouble with small kidney stones as a teenager, specifically eliminating them which was some of the most intense pain I felt in my life. So I trained myself to drink more and more water as the time went. For more than 20 years I haven't had those issues, since I circulate so much urine, those struvites don't have time to form in the kidney, and go on a bumpy joyride down the urethra.
I like you
You don't have problems with hyponatremia? That's a lot of water which can flush out your electrolytes.
@@TheGerm24 Not really, I have an adequate sodium intake.
I watched this last night and it scared me, today I drank SO much water at work and found myself nowhere near as ravenous for snacks, no brain fog (I have pcos which I thought was entirely responsible but maybe not?) and able to do my 10 hour work day like it AINT no thaaaang. Thank you again for this top tier content
I’m thirsty now.
eu também lol
This is extremely motivating, and I’m passing it on to others. I supply endless water for my team and it works!!!
thank you it helped me get over my fatigue and brain fog
I literally went to the kitchen and got myself a big ol' pitcher of water. I don't want a shrinking brain lmaoooo
off topic, but love the color-coded bookshelf behind you! :)
i regret to inform you that it collapsed immediately after this video LOL . but there'll be a replacement lol 😬😂
@@KianaDocherty, oh God.
@@KianaDocherty OOP
Made it to the end of video yes I found this very insightful and useful thank youuu
Love this video, it's really motivating. As a mother who is breastfeeding two kids while taking care of three, I find that I'm dehydrated on a daily basis. I also often feel tired and have headaches because of this.
Sincerely enjoyed your video keep up the good work educating people.❤
When I was at least 15, I drank a lot of these flavored waters that are really bad for you. About a week of drinking nothing but that, I became super dehydrated and had to be taken to the hospital by my parents. I was then given an IV when my veins were so small, and it hurt like hell to get the needle in my arm. About a day of recovery and fluids later, I was able to go back home and made it back up to speed within a couple days. I learned the hard way from that, and now I just run off water, with the occasional breakfast drinks.
The fact that it took Mauro 2 YEARS to recover after that is horrifying to think about.
Drink some water. Your body will thank you for that.
Drink your water or suffer my wrath.
One of the big ways that I manage my adhd is making sure that I am hydrated. Helps tons
Awesome video, very inspiring!
Water is actually a good appetite suppressant :)
Yes
@@chlorhex6785 Try going for a high fat low carb diet (keto). You don't have to be too strict, just watch your carbs/ starchy stuff like certain veges etc.. Lost 20kg in 6 months.
@@chlorhex6785 Try drinking sparkling water or black coffee, theyre more filling than plain water
@@chlorhex6785 adding to all of the tips, protein rich foods are a good way to trick your tummy, I used to be like you too and started adding more different kinds of beans and nuts to my snacks and meals, weird but effective and healthy
@@chlorhex6785 try eating anabolic French toasts from Greg deucette It’s low calorie and full of protein it’s so fucking good and your always Gone be full
The editing on this is fireeee
right!!
Very useful video glad you made it!
a big thanks to todays video maker YOU. Thank You.
I’ve started drinking a glass of water every morning and it’s made me so much more creative and productive! You really do see the effects of this immediately.
I needed this. I only drink about a cup a day and the rest is coffee and diet coke. Ugh. Also, I do jujitsu and mild work outs. I'm probably beyond dehydrated. No wonder Im so fucking tired today.. I'm gonna drink more RIGHT NOW. LOL
Apparently it's good to drink about 24 oz of water as soon as you wake up.
Edit: depending on body mass, previous activity, humidity level, etc.
@@skoshtolsen5140 it's 836am here. Thank you for reminding me to drink water lol
@@chlorhex6785 both dehydrate you, youre misinformed. Hydration is important.
@@chlorhex6785 ok so I googled it lol. Caffeine is a MILD diuretic so it's not as dehydrating as alcohol but can still contribute. "Pure" Water is the best form of hydration
:)
@MdoubleHB negatory
2:30 Wtf do they make this out of? Air? 😂
Air free
Kind of interesting how when someone is in a bad mood they get drunk. But that very dehydration can worsen their mood
