What Foods Have the Most Water? | Dr. Neal Barnard Q&A | Exam Room Podcast

[@extropiantranshuman]

I looked this up the other day - love that we're all on the same wavelength around here - PCRM and I

[@denisek7]

Nice to hear :) I had zucchini and sweet potato fur lunch today~ thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@PhysiciansCommittee]

Our pleasure!

[@ExtraAtEase]

I’ve heard gorillas hydrate by eating plants and rarely drink water.

[@terrihannah5025]

Don’t overlook how the Amazon is being cleared in order to raise more feed crops for cattle

[@Satoruu23]

good talk

[@donnahollywood8007]

If anyone wants to know more about hydration, I highly recommend the book "Your bodies many cries for water" by Dr Batmanghedhi.

[@Spock_Rogers]

From his Wikipedia: He is best known for believing increased water consumption is the cure for most disease, a view not supported by clinical evidence and considered quackery by medical experts.

[@luluandmeow]

I always wake up dehydrated despite drinking plenty during the day, and I crave a big fruit bowl for breakfast: always melon and watermelon, followed by a juicy mango, pomegranate, apricots, banana, citrus, more fruit of all kinds, also frozen pineapple, berries, in winter I also eat microwave apples - delicious!

[@extropiantranshuman]

do you consume any fluids before going to sleep? I try to get some in.

[@sindynewman1805]

We all know sugar feeds cancer . I look for no sugar added . Thank you for the presentation 😊

[@Spock_Rogers]

Thank you for the advice! 🕊️💕🌱💧

[@clc7378]

🎉 TY!

[@PhysiciansCommittee]

Of course! ☺

[@extropiantranshuman]

I'm surprised we were talking sugar vs artificial sweeteners and leaving out the 'no sugar added' or even 'low sugar' option?? Some artificial sweeteners are practically sugars chemically - so it's not much of a comparison - depending on the type. I think dr ekberg did a whole powerpoint on this!

[@extropiantranshuman]

ok I have to admit - the watermelon lime was a great idea - as is the frozen grapes

[@RJ-om2dz]

Many liquids contain sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate as a flavor preservative. People may want to decide how much of this they want to eat. Benzine can be a product resulting from breakdown of benzoates, ex: exposed to acid like in the stomach.

[@extropiantranshuman]

where I live - the temperatures are just too hot to drink regular water - it can just burn one's insides - literally! Instead - I put in some rose geranium oil - which cools me down rapidly!

[@lawrenceharada430]

Dr Barnard indicated that massive amts of water is not necessary if one's expenditure is low (minimal perspiration, sedentary job etc.) However for those with IBS-D, or resection of large colon, or other liquids malabsorption issues, isn't copius amts. of water with electrolytes necessary?

[@extropiantranshuman]

I'm surprised they didn't talk about some of the most obvious: watermelon and cucumber. I was waiting! Bell pepper. Also I feel pluots are way more hydrating than plums!!!

[@extropiantranshuman]

you know what would be so funny - is if Chuck introduces Dr. Barnard as the 'man with the vegan plan'. I'd crack up so much if I heard that lol

[@extropiantranshuman]

0:05 did I just hear chuck say 'warter'? lol. My parents say warter too. I saw hwater lol

[@lilo4784]

Amazing team. Please can I ask is vanadium is safe before pregnancy if in a prenatal as it’s really the best one but it’s only 10mcg vanadium

[@janebaily3758]

What about people who have to limit their fluid intake due to medical conditions? Thanks!

[@extropiantranshuman]

well there's hyponatremia - so they'd look to balance their blood levels

[@susancarpenter4434]

What about a pinch of salt in your water? I have heard that is okay as well. For someone who is very physically active.

[@extropiantranshuman]

why not just consume food with water to have electrolytes and other nutrients? Salt is just so isolated with water - it's missing everything else.

[@lavondahawkins]

Come to Richmond, Virginia

[@sindynewman1805]

I'm so surprised to hear that soda is ok ...I watched a mechanic use a can of coke to clean their engine off. That was many years ago and I haven't had a soda since . 😮

[@extropiantranshuman]

well if it cleaned the engine - why can't it clean you?

[@PhysiciansCommittee]

In this episode, the nuances around sugar-sweetened beverages such as fruit juice, sports drinks, and soda were explored. Soda is certainly not a health drink, and we are not suggesting regular consumption. Water and whole-food, plant-based foods are preferred picks when it comes to hydrating and replenishing nutrients such as electrolytes 🙂

[@extropiantranshuman]

I just don't get why using something to clean an engine is unhealthy. Are you saying that if something can't clean an engine off - it's healthy? Adding fresh oil to an engine will clean it. I've personally cleaned my car engine with aloe vera gel and matcha green tea (because someone put a flame thrower near my engine and so it was too overheated to work properly - so I thought if these cool me off - why not use it on the engine?), so now these are unhealthy - because it's an 'engine cleaner'? We're not cars ok - we're human beings!! For me, I feel what's good for myself is good for a car, a plant, an animal, etc. - and sometimes vice versa, but it's no guarantee. I think making false comparisons just doesn't make sense. This reminds me of the whole 'margarine is unsafe because no bug will go near it and it lasts forever'. Well there's certain seeds that last for thousands of years too - are they unhealthy as well? Just because bugs don't go near something and it doesn't break down - doesn't make it unhealthy. We can't just take cicrumstance and then apply them everywhere as a rule! What if you put fruit puree in your car engine - would that make the food 'healthy' all of a sudden - because it gunked up your engine? This is absolutely ridiculous.

[@extropiantranshuman]

if you want better ideas - you can watch Dr. Esser's talk - he talks green juices and salads.

[@extropiantranshuman]

@@PhysiciansCommittee Sugar, while sometimes cooling, can also heat up the body (it converts to energy in the body! Movement = heat), so to keep inflammation at bay - it's nice to eat anti-inflammatory foods - in one's drink too. It's just if you drink sugar or salt as electrolytes - it's not the end of the world and will help out save one's life if it's between consuming what's unhealthy with what is - during these extreme situations of exercising that don't apply to everyday life. In everyday life - SOS is preferred to avoid, but when the body's in an unhealthy state like hyponatremia or hypoglycemia - salt and sugar are lifesavers! An unhealthy food becomes a miracle to living! I get it, who knows about them.

[@felipearbustopotd]

I wonder how many people take into account that what they eat, actually contain water. Cucumber is basically water Dr. Neal Barnard looks under muscled, as Dr Gabrielle Lyon would put it.

[@mishannallsmig5336]

Generally I enjoy the videos on this channel. It's not that I didn't like this particular video, but certain points were concerning to me.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I'm really glad the whole climate change segment was on this show - because it's interesting how the amount of water can be too much or too little due to it! We normally don't think about it - but should.

[@sindynewman1805]

Energy drinks...just learned that a tablespoon of an energy drink is like drinking 50 cups of coffee. There are many hospitalizations due to this. This comes from a reputable source. I'm surprised at some of the information today!!

[@extropiantranshuman]

energy drinks are not healthy - unless they remove the caffeine and excessive b vitamin levels

[@lesliesobel5554]

Trust me. when I say If you crawl through roofs insulating them in heat wave weather. good old STAMINADE. is more beneficial than HARM Thete are courses gor Horses. work out what horse YOU ARE. cheers

[@tamardevane6635]

What terrible advice; to drink fruit juices. they are so sugar laden. This doctor hasn't added 1 plus 2. considering how many people have insulin resistance.

[@dianat10314]

Sugar does not cause insulin resistance. Dr. Walker Kempner reversed type 2 diabetes feeding patients sugar. However, it was the elimination of fat from animal products and ultra processed high fat junk that reverse type 2 diabetes.

[@felipearbustopotd]

👏

[@extropiantranshuman]

if you have insulin resistance - then this is not for you - this is for regular people who're exercising. It's hard to find people with insulin resistance exercising - because they tend to either not exercise or get injured from exercising. If you have insulin resistance - then maybe a green juice works better? I use that myself.

[@tamardevane6635]

@@extropiantranshuman but with many people, if they don’t have it now, juice is one of the high sweet foods that leads to sugar cravings and developing it in the future. It, like most illnesses, does not develops overnight. You need to stop the sugar before you’re sick.

[@infiniteworfare5089]

pineapple juice is a horrible drink. it just damages your tongue and lips. please chose another fruit.

[@janebaily3758]

Athletes are a big focus of this video...PERHAPS too much.

[@extropiantranshuman]

I think it was perfect!!

[@sharinaross1865]

Way too much.

[@nonayabizness225]

Traitor- aide:::, corn syrup, chemical dyes that mess with mood chemistry ⚗️🧪

[@PlantBasedPrimary]

Agreed! And it comes in cheap plastic bottles. I was disappointed to hear Dr. Barnard go to bat for this ultra processed junk.😢 There are much better ways to get your electrolytes with whole foods.

[@extropiantranshuman]

@@PlantBasedPrimary that's true - just about any fruit has sugar. Bananas have potassium. Celery has salt. What's left? Oh yeah - none of the gunk of see-you-laterade.
