Welcome to the Dr. Gondry Podcast.

Now I talk a lot about the optimal foods for human health.

But there's one thing I've failed to talk to you about,

and in fact, it may be the most essential thing you can put into your body.

And if you don't get enough of it you could die in just a matter of

days. So what could be so important that I devote an entire episode to it? Water. That's right. On today's episode I'm going to dive

deep into a subject most of us don't even think much about hydration. So strap in to hear my thoughts on tap versus

bottled water, the benefits and dangers of water fasting, how much water you should drink every day, trendy waters, and much, much more.

Okay, so let's start with one of the most basic questions out there. Do I really need to drink eight

glasses of water every day? Well the answer is no you don't and that idea that you need eight glasses of water a day is one of those

wonderful myths just like the 10,000 step ped myth, which was actually invented by a Japanese company to sell pedometers.

You don't need to walk 10,000 steps every day for perfect health.

You actually need maybe 2,000 or 3,000. It's the same way with

eight glasses of water. Most of us don't realize that if you're following a plant paradox

compatible diet, you're hopefully going to eat large amounts of leaves

as a part of your daily diet. And quite frankly most animals get most of their water by

eating the water in leaves and on leaves.
