Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

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

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

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

video. So the point of number one is just make sure you're not forcing yourself to drink gallons

of water, because people have died from the condition called hypoatremia. And I will put that

down below. All right, number two, drinking water too quickly. Now this is not like a major point,
