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 weight.

Hey Dr. Berg here in this short video, we're going to talk about the water ameth.

I know you were taught that you need to drink eight glasses of water a day.

I was taught that everyone knows that that's what they say you need to do.

Well some day I'm going to find out who they is because every time I find out a concept

that everyone is doing because we just have to do it, I'm suspect because it turns out

most of those recommendations end up to be false down the road.

So I guess the common thought is you have to drink half of your body weight in ounces.

So if I'm 200 pounds, that's 100 ounces, that's 12 and a half glasses of water a day,

that's a lot of water and that's eight ounce glasses, okay.

So let's just go through this, okay.

Number one, 60% of the body is water, is that true?

No it's not true.

In fact, 0% of your body is water.

Not one millimeter of your body is pure water, it's all electrolyte fluids.

You got your blood, your lymph, your urine, all these fluids are electrolytes that's minerals.

It's sodium, potassium, calcium and a lot of other stuff in these fluids.

It's not just pure water.

So that's kind of a falsity.

Number two, the body doesn't know when it's thirsty.

I love this.
