There's a recent trend going around all over Tik-Toc. We see people putting salt into the water.

Electrolyts salts have blown up. That market is going through the roof. There's podcasts on it,

blogs on it. Everyone is swearing by salty water, but is it actually a good thing should we be

adding salt into our water for better hydration? I'm going to answer that question

for you in today's episode. So what if I told you that even though you may think you are drinking enough water, you may still be dehydrated.

Now, I'm not just talking about what you'd expect like frequent headaches dry skin low energy brain fog

constipation bad breath we already expect that we know that that happens when we're not getting

enough hydration but there's other symptoms that we talk so much less about, and that's frequent

UTIs, bad memory, weight gain, poor immune system. Those are all downstream manifestations of being chronically dehydrated.

Now the majority of us are dehydrated.

Some studies believe it's up to 75% of America.

And most of us don't even know it.

We've been told to drink more water, but the water you may be drinking may not be hydrating you.

But hold up, hold up, Doc. I was on Instagram and there was a doctor on there saying, you need to

fill up your water bottle daily, stay hydrated, it's going to be the best

thing for your health throughout the day. Yes. And you can see a nutritionist on a blog saying,

drink more water, it is the foundation of health. Yes, and everyone needs to drink more water. I agree with that. I've been saying it since day one for being a doctor even before that.

But the more water we drink, are we really truly being hydrated.

Now I'm going to give you the steps to move you from chronic dehydration to get truly hydrated.

Salt is your friend, right? We've been demonizing salt for so long that we forgot how important salt is for our health. Well, yes, a lot of Americans are consuming too much salt and can be absolutely detrimental if we're

consuming too much salt, especially in the processed food that we're getting it from.

Right, but those groups of people can benefit from salt reduction.
