- Ahhh.
Hey guys.
Today we're gonna talk about something so important
and that is hydration.
I feel like most of us don't drink enough water.
In fact, studies have shown that between 60% and 70%
of Americans are dehydrated on a daily basis.
That is incredible.
And if you think that when you're thirsty, right,
if you think, oh, I'm thirsty, it's too late.
It's too late.
You're past dehydration.
(upbeat music)
One of the first symptoms of being dehydrated is fatigue,
is low energy.
So one of the fastest ways to get the energy that you need
is to drink copious amounts of water or what I like to say
is super hydrated.
The earth is 70% water.
Our brain is made up of 76% water.
Our muscles are 75% water.
And our bones are 25% of water.
So think about that.
How much water we need to intake to maintain that proper
environment in our body.
What we wanna do is we wanna flush out all the toxins,
all the acids out of our body.
Cleansing, not clogging.
(upbeat music)
An interesting story,
but I actually had terrible acne growing up.
Really bad acne, cystic, like where you know,
just boils all around this area.
I mean, it was terrible.
I had no confidence.
I felt terrible.
I didn't want to be seen by anybody.
I shied away from them.
I wouldn't look anybody directly in the eye.
I was embarrassed.
I was very very embarrassed.
And what I did is I heard drinking lots of water
was good for your skin so I drank an insane amount of water.
Just to try and get rid of my acne.
My skin started clearing up.
My energy was going through the roof.
And people asked me like, what are you doing?
What are you drinking?
I'm just drinking a ton of water, honestly.
I'm hydrating my body.
My body is working for me.
What I realized was I was eating certain foods
that were high in acids.
Right, they were high in acids and my body was just trying
to get rid of it and it was coming out through my skin.
(upbeat music)
I can hear people right now thinking
well I don't want to drink a lot of water
because I don't want to feel bloated
or retain all this water.
I know it seems counterintuitive but if you wanna get rid
of excess water weight, you actually drink more water.
Now why is that?
If your brain thinks that it's getting enough water
then it's gonna get rid of the excess water.
But if you're dehydrated,
if you're not drinking enough water,
then your body's gonna hold on to any water it can
and that's when you get that water weight.
I know it's counterintuitive but if you wanna get rid
of that excess water weight,
drink more water to flush it out and give your body
what it needs to stay hydrated and create an environment
that it needs to thrive.
(upbeat music)
So how much water should we drink a day?
All right, the minimum,
the minimum water we should drink a day
is half your body weight in ounces.
Okay, so for me, I'm about 160 pounds
so that means about 80 ounces of water minimum a day.
Okay?
That's important because I think people think like,
oh, you know,
I'm gonna have this and that's the minimum amount.
If you want you can drink more.
In fact, if you do you're probably gonna feel better
and more energized.
You don't have to be a crazy athlete.
You don't have to be super active, all these things,
it's just about giving your body what it needs.
(upbeat music)
What kind of water?
I feel like there's only one kind of water but there isn't.
There's also sparkling water.
Sparkling water is fine.
It's just as great.
I can say for me personally, I drink sparkling water
a lot slower because, you know, the bubbles.
(laughs) I'm like bup bup bup bup.
So with that you might feel more full with sparkling water
but you might not be giving yourself enough water.
So for instance, me,
I can probably down this entire glass right now.
If it was sparkling water,
it would probably take me a few minutes
to actually drink that.
The amount of people in my life that barely drink water.
Or they're drinking sodas and they feel there's water
in that but now think about this.
The amount of sugar, the amount of acid that's in there
you're not really hydrating yourself.
All right, so it's very very important that it's water.
(upbeat music)
So another thing, when you think about hydrating,
you don't wanna just think about drinking.
All right, you also want to be thinking
about what you eat as well.
70% of your diet should be water rich foods.
You want living foods.
You want things that are green.
That are alive with energy.
The body has to maintain a certain temperature
within a small range.
Otherwise there are major consequences.
The same applies for the alkaline
and acid levels in our body.
The body has a very sensitive alkaline and acid balance
and our body's actually slightly alkaline.
So, the more alkaline foods we eat,
the water rich foods we eat, the better.
If we have lived too much of an acidic lifestyle,
whether it's what we drink, the environment,
our foods, stress, emotions.
Then what happens is we create illness.
We create fatigue.
We don't want that, right.
We want to have high energy.
Wake up in the morning feeling ready to go.
(upbeat music)
Let's talk about acid for a second.
All right, sodas, coffee, sugar.
All right, the average American consumes 150 pounds
of sugar a year.
It blows my mind.
So what the acid does when we're eating or drinking
these foods or the environment, whatever it is,
is it strips the body of its natural minerals
and that we need to neutralize these acids, okay.
So a few ways again to live more of an alkaline life,
all right, a more energized life, you know.
Maybe put more lemon in your water.
Green drinks, green veg.
Like I said before,
you cannot have enough greens in your diet.
Water rich foods.
That's really gonna give you that life that you need.
Give you that energy that you need.
Sustainable energy throughout the day.
(upbeat music)
Very interesting studies have shown that cancer only grows
in acidic and anaerobic environments in your body.
So when I talk about how important it is to neutralize
those acids and to consume more alkaline rich foods
and water rich foods like greens and vegetables
and maybe a green smoothie, a green drink.
And also to highly, highly hydrate yourself.
Think of your body as an environment.
Okay, just like outside.
If it gets polluted outside, it's dirty,
there's lots of toxins in the air, right.
You don't wanna think about that.
You wanna think about your body as this beautiful
mountain range with clear skies and amazing great oxygen.
There's chemistry to energy.
There's chemistry in your body that's happening
that's all working for you and can be working against you.
Yes. So, if you wanna have copious amounts of energy,
drink copious amounts of water.
I know I'm using the word copious
because it's a fun word to use.
All right guys, thank you so much for watching.
