Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you

on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Today we're going to talk about the six mistakes that you could make drinking water.

So let's start with the first one.

Drinking too much water.

Now, is this possible?

Yes, it is.

Especially when you force yourself to drink all this water, especially without the electrolytes that help you deal with this extra water. And I know there's a lot of gurus out there that

say the most important thing you need to keep drinking, drinking, drinking a lot of water, right?

As that's the absolute most important thing you can do. You should drink a gallon of water a day.

Well, that's fine, but are you exercising? Are you sweating? Are you taking electrolytes? Are you taking

enough sea salt? What happens when you drink too much water, you can dilute electrolytes, specifically salt. And you can create a condition

called hypoetremia, where there's not enough sodium in your blood. And that actually is a form of

dehydration. So it is possible that drinking too much water can put you in a situation where you're

dehydrated. And I just want to make

a point, I'm not against water. You just need to drink the right amount. Hopefully you have the

sensation of thirst that can tell you when you're thirsty. Now on the flip side, if you are prone to

kidney stones, you should be drinking at least two and a half liters of fluid a day because

the kidney stone develops in a super saturated concentration of urine.

So if you're drinking enough water, it's almost impossible to develop a stone.

And so should we all drink exactly eight glasses of water a day?

It really depends on a lot of variables that I'm going to get into in this video.
