How fast can your body rehydrate?

[@marumisu9560]

the sponge example is perfect. it totally makes sense. I just drank two big cups of water and it just went straight through me.

[@carlao7157]

Thanks for the hydration tip! Makes it seems so attainable the way you explain it.

[@grogersupci]

Best exposition and demonstration ever.

[@daoish]

Thank you. This was very informative. I appreciate your teaching style.

[@hxdcm]

Great lesson thank you👍

[@tracymiller3733]

Thanks! You made this easy to understand! I appreciate it.

[@shanestevens1590]

This was so brilliantly helpful. Thank you.

[@diy_cat9817]

This is exactly what I needed to know! I also use the sponge analogy lol

[@Jessica-nk8jc]

Wow! Thank you soooo much for this, I will teach my kids about this!!!♡♡♡

[@FlowcastYT]

Excellent explanation, would love to see more!

[@alonsorobles8210]

It couldn't be better explained. I should have known but I didn't realized it. Thank you very much for the explanation. God bless you.

[@nicj5354]

Makes sense. I work very high up in the mountains and I get SO DRY. I drink water, but I'm still so dehydrated. I'll try this and hopefully I won't need another IV.

[@djnechodom]

Yeah, definitely keep yourself regularly hydrated. Also, be sure you have enough electrolytes going in. I love being high up in the mountains, but I really have to manage things more carefully.

That was so helpful, thank you

Great Explanation !!

[@christopherc3214]

Wow this was so helpful!

Great video! Answered the exact question I had💪🏾

200 milliliters is 6.7 oz

thanks for the perspective

came here after watching ur video of the median of equation 10 years back

I hope it was helpful

[@Phlizzy]

Yesterday, I went to work for 8hrs and didn’t take a break or consume any food or water. The last two hours I was fuming mad,dizzy, hungry and thirsty. It was kind of a test of my endurance, but by the end of it I was so dehydrated that I chugged lots of water. Now I know why that didn’t help much😂

[@djnechodom]

Well hey at least you knew you needed to rehydrate! Your brain and body will stash that experience away as something to try to avoid in the future, so it wasn't a wasted experience.

[@armyairborn30]

I drink a minimum of a gallon per day along with other drinks on top of that ie. Pre workouts, protein shakes, carb drinks. If I drink 64oz I feel like my blood is pumping as thick as tar. Yet my girlfriend can drink 3 teaspoons of water daily and still feel fine.

[@djnechodom]

I find there is a surprising variety of people, many of whom actually survive a lot longer and better than I might have expected.

[@LordDirus007]

Vaping (Nicotine), and Caffeine is probably causing you to piss it out. I donate plasma often and they take Hydration test. I'll literally drink a Gallon of Water/Electrolyte Mix and barely pass. I vape a lot and I think that is why or I simply don't retain water.

[@Southernreliablelawncare]

Very dehydrated from working outside this week. Normally do better with hydration. Thank you!

[@djnechodom]

You're welcome! I tell my athletes all the time, "Hydrate or die-drate!"

[@Southernreliablelawncare]

@@djnechodom thank you, didn’t get better after hydrating, went to doctors and found out I had the flu, just now getting over it.

[@ICEEBOSSFAMILY]

Aye man this might’ve changed my life

[@brummyfishing]

One thing I need to know as a Brit do you measure beer as pints that’s the important thing , but thanks for that video I’ve found it helpful cheers man

[@djnechodom]

That's an excellent question! Yes, we measure in pints! Also my measurement tends to be on a scale of "Does it taste good, or is it like the typical combination of mule piss and goat vomit that passes for American store-bought beer?"

[@AlexanderHolley-hx2mj]

Thank for the video funny how it obvious once you hear it. S ome times we just need to be told by some one else to start doing it. Thanks again.

[@Lilly-cb2bl]

Thank you. easy and entertaining explanation you're a legend man

[@djnechodom]

Thanks! My "legend-hood" depends on which comment you read!

[@cooldudezscopez4215]

I liked the video!!!

[@djnechodom]

That's great. Honestly, I threw it together just so my quarantined students could get the information.

[@johnrfranklin9072]

Good video good information..make one saying same info but cut it down to about a minute.

[@djnechodom]

Yeah, good point. I'd made this for students who'd missed the live lesson and wanted a similar level of engagement.

[@doggpound9319]

So about the 200ml every 15min, does that apply to everyone or does it depend on the persons height/weight/ muscle mass the person has etc.

[@djnechodom]

I'm sure those other factors make a difference, but I'm guessing that the differences aren't major. I would think that the biggest factor would be weight. It would be interesting to see how differences in fat/ muscle ratios change it. (Please note: I'm GUESSING! I'm no expert, nor have I researched this more.)

[@djnechodom]

My rather unscientific rule of 5 big swallow might still work here, since a bigger person would probably take bigger gulps. My biggest point was to encourage my students and athletes to meter their intake rather than thinking they'll rehydrate well by guzzling a full Gatorade.

[@joec2442]

Plain water is not enough it must have something in it your body can use, Gatorade is a good example of what to drink

[@djnechodom]

Yeah, I can see that. I tell athletes that it really depends on what they're doing. If they're doing long workouts where they need electrolyte and fuel stores refilled quickly, then Gatorade is a good idea. If not, then drinking water will keep you hydrated and your food will resupply electrolytes and fuel. But I'm just an old track coach. Plenty of people know more than me.

[@GuyFromTheSouth]

Keep in mind though that gatoraid is high in sugar. That is unhealthy in the long run. I think health experts down play the health affects of sugar. Electrolytes are just salt. Gatoraid is water, sugar, and salt. I like to add a little salt to my water after a crazy cardio day.

[@TheKickboxingCommunity]

​@@GuyFromTheSouthnot true. Glucose is actually essential to stimulate the hydration. When my mother got chemotherapy she also got electrolye water through an IV WITH glucose

[@tomhealey560]

brilliant

[@CyberserveATX]

the real question is how can you rehydrate rapidly .....i came here to lean something but i got nothing....ill just say ...get a juicer and juice celery and watermelon,.... then if you really want to go hard core add a few ounces of tart cherry juice ,,,,,,all the world class sprinters chug tart cherry juice before running...your welcome

[@djnechodom]

Sorry to disappoint. Good thing watching the video was free. Thanks for the advice about cherry juice. I've tried it myself and enjoyed the energy rush, and I'm told it has some antioxidant properties.

[@diy_cat9817]

You can't. Unless you have an IV. But 200ml every 15 minutes is going to be better than pounding water and peeing it all out. The fastest way to hydrate is to stay hydrated. The next fastest way is probably this.

[@JH-nb4nn]

If its chronic and your electrolytes go haywire, it takes 2 years actually.

[@djnechodom]

Wow! I'd be interested in your story about that. That could be good information for me to share as a coach. Are you willing to share more?

[@JH-nb4nn]

@@djnechodom It took me 2 years. I took a supplement that caused diarrhea for weeks and went into dehydration shock. My potassium and salt went super low and I didn't correct it quick enough. It turned chronic and I could not bring my cellular salts or fluid up any quicker, so I suffered ongoing severe dehydration symptoms for 2 entire years. Raised my potassium by one number every 4 months on a hair analysis tracking test. You simply cannot push something into the blood and expect it to go to the cells immediately. That's not how it worked for me at all. If you want dehydration corrected quickly, it has to be lost AND regained on the same day. The longer you stay dehydrated, you will not be able to fix it quickly and it will become a nightmare.

[@djnechodom]

@@JH-nb4nn Wow, I'm really sorry that happened. I will use your story as another point of emphasis as I encourage athletes to learn to monitor and care for their bodies.

[@JH-nb4nn]

@@djnechodom thank you :-)
