The Science of Hydration: How Much Water You Really Need

[@theanatomylab]

***CLARIFICATION*** Hi everyone, I misspoke at about 08:58. I meant to say, "Dehydration is actually the process of moving from a state of Euhydration to a state of hypohydration." I am a little bit surprised that none of us caught this in post-production, but we may have been a little distracted from our channel getting temporarily taken down by the hackers... 😡 Thanks to those who caught and commented on this and thanks to all of those that helped let us know about the hack! Stay anatomically awesome! (Yes.... that was nerdy...)

Hmm! That Heart condition, is that the answer to my question about how much of exercise is good or bad for heart? That question was for awareness purpose only with the expectation (information for education) of the maximum heart rate before one drops unconscious. What are the heart muscle exercises to improve stamina and was part of the education on the topic I had requested .

Thank you so much! In past years I did regular hikes of 5 to 8 hours, in a hot climate, say from 5.00 to 13.00, living in the Caribbean. (Wide brimmed hat, sunprotection longsleeve clothing etc.). Lots of people, even those with some medical background, have warned me against my 'excessive' drinking, as I usually drink about one liter per hour, do a little bit of frontloading (half a liter or so) and sometimes top-up afterwards with one or two liters because I am really thirsty at arrival. On an 8 hour walk, around 10 liters. 'Nonono, do not do that, you will die from overhydration if you drink more than 5-6 liters per day', they say. I always tell them I practically do not urinate but still lose weight during the hikes even while drinking so much, and that makes them hesitate a bit, but still convinced I should drink less (and faint from dehydration I suppose). So thank you for this video, it explains exactly why my drinking is justified for the amount of physical activity and the hot climate. (a day at the office, I only use around 2.5 to 3 liters) Will be interesting to see how all the 'experts' will react to this (and info I found on other websites that confirm this) information.

I've been drinking 3-4 liters a day for several years, and I genuinely believe this is the reason I don't suffer from a lot of issues other people describe to me that sound hydration-related. Makes even more sense after seeing this explanation too

[@HumbleBee123]

How do you drink this amount? I struggle to drink 1.5litres in day. I just dont feel thirsty enough and get bloated if I drink too much plus many more trip to the loo. Would love some of your insight please.

[@nixm9093]

​@@HumbleBee123if it helps... On waking I have a glass of water with lemon juice (250ml). I drink another 330ml water while exercising (that's the bottle size). Then I have a 1.5 litre bottle at my desk that I sip throughout the day and I finish it by 6pm. After that I have a 750ml bottle with me while cooking or watching TV, which I take to bed. If I go out in the day, I take a 750ml with, going out at night I order a glass of water along with any drink I have. I live in a warm country, it's just habit for me. I pee 6 - 8 times a day.

[@iolemaffei]

@@HumbleBee123 I think it also depends on the person because some people may not need as much water. I drink around 2-4 liters a day but it depends on how I feel on the day (if I feel I need it/thirsty.) If you want to drink more what I do is carry a bottle of water with me everywhere

[@ni-tric]

@@HumbleBee123 I agree with the person above, people's needs for water can differ a lot. I'm almost 6ft/2m and around 190lbs/85kg so, you could feel that you need less if you're smaller. But what made a difference for me was getting a bigger water bottle! This was when I was a teen and my parents got a water cooler. I've gone through many bottles by now, but carrying a bottle that's 40oz/1.2L or 64oz/1.9L is what made all the difference for me. I used the 64oz for a long while, but the 40oz is more portable and looks less silly. It helps me to have water available without having to fill it up often. Also, I'm not diabetic, but I feel very thirsty very often, but I also suspect that I may just like to sip water as a self-soothing thing.

[@thandimokoena1157]

​@@HumbleBee123 I started with 500mls when I wake up at 06h00, repeat at 10h00, repeat at 14h00 and last dose at 18h00. At first I had frequent journeys to the loo but my body adjusted eventually. Then I increased the amount to 750 MLS. When I could handle that I proceeded to 1lt. Now I no longer have feel the urgency to the loo. The morning dose used to nauseate me at first now I am okay.

I drink 3-3.5 litres of water per day, plus do heavy exercise 3-4 hrs per week. Really great to hear that I'm maybe a bit over what is necessary but not excessive. Also being in the middle of a weightloss journey, I think drinking that amount of water has really helped, if not for actual weightloss then keeping my body balanced so I can do the exercise and eat healthily. (And I really dislike plain water. Thank goodness for Mio!)

[@milosstojanovic4623]

Each individual is different. I for example when its not the summer don't need more than 2l of water daily, but if i drive a bike, train or doing something physically difficult that amount is increased by 1 or even 2 l during the day. Now in winter i don't "feel the need" to drink more than 1-1.5l in day. The most important thing is that we don't "feel the thirst", that's bad, or that we don't have that feeling of overhydrating when we feel like our stomach gonna explode.

[@FutureBoyWonder]

How the fuck does someone dislike plain water? That's like saying I don't like plain oxygen and need to breathe vanilla air Maybe as you rebalance your body you'll find a new appreciation for delicious water

[@milosstojanovic4623]

​@@FutureBoyWonder no, i understand him, some water depending on the region can be "heavier" or "lighter". We in our country have many many different types of water, and believe it or not, people tend to have preference about water (at least the one they buy). Some water we can drink a lot and nothing it absorbs easily, some when we drink have that feeling like we overdrink it, even if it was not much more than 1 or 1.5L. Also for example water we have here has more calcium then it should have, and though it is good, i avoid it because of higher amount of calcium which in turn can produce over time kidney stones, especially for the people (like my family) that are genetically predetermined to develop kidney stones. That's why i mostly drink more sulfuric water, its great for better ingestion and filtering kidneys.

[@AllergicToFantasy]

​@@FutureBoyWonder It has nothing to do with being dehydrated or having an imbalance. I am well hydrated, however, I can't stand drinking plain water. If I add just a faintest hint of jasmine tea, a few drops of lemon, or a few slices of cucumber, I drink it with pleasure. Put plain water in front of me, and I'll avoid it. This is true whether it is bottled water or tap water, and I live in Northern Colorado with some of the healthiest and cleanest tasting water in the country. My husband can drink plain water all day long. Two of my cousins have the same experience as I with plain water. It's the same as food preferences. What is delicious to one person offends the taste buds of another. Everyone is different.

[@GhostyOcean]

​@@FutureBoyWonderit really depends on the quality of water available to them. I know my local tap water has a strange taste sometimes, so I usually run it through a filter to regulate the taste. Water tastes different in different regions, perhaps he hasn't found a tap water that suits him. Or maybe the writer is in the transition from drinking, say, soda all day to plain water and flavored water is the thing that helps them finish that transition. Don't judge someone when you don't know their situation, you might make the same choices if put in those same circumstances.

THIS VIDEO IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. THANK YOU. I've been struggling with this for decades. I've asked my endocrinologist and she basically told me to rely on my thirst and that has not helped at all. I have Diabetes Insipidus (not diabetes mellitus) and I'm a dogwalker. She told me I need to drink before hand, but didn't give me a clear idea how much. I dogwalk on avg 5-7 miles a day in hot LA weather. I haven't been good at managing my water especially with an active job, dog walking is not aerobic: dogs stop and sniff. In the past, my DDAVP has sometimes worn off in the middle of work or during sleep and I pee EVERYTHING out. I am not able to re-hydrate enough (stupidly thinking 24 oz is enough and I'm just heading for trouble).I've only recently started drinking 24 oz (with dehydrated fruit powders) early before work and 24 oz. in the afternoon and then drink as needed. I imagine I would need something way above the 13 ml per kg to get myself back to normal when my meds wear off and I pee everything out. I'm hoping you can tell me. I am 75kg. But I'm also afraid of drinking too much water and getting hyponotremia. I also would like to know how much electrolytes is too much in a day of work (Can I drink 2-3 Gatorades?). I realize you may not be able to answer this. Thank you.

[@eaglewindspirit]

My Urologist says the excessive over hydration can cause over use of the bladder and affect the internal membrane of the bladder. I was told to drink when thirsty and when thirsty drink only water. Said she sees over hydration more these days because of the belief that drinking excessive water will make you more healthy and weird ideas about keeping the kidney and bladder healthy, to extreme neurotic ideas about cancer prevention.

[@grandpachun1156]

It's quite interesting how different the recommendations are depending on which country you live in. I'm Germany based & my doc told me 30-40ml per kg of bodyweight. That is, by the way, something you didn't touch - overweight people need a lot more water than other people.

[@souldriver]

Based on personal experience, 30-40ml per kg seems a little excessive but I do think his 5-10ml per kg is too low. I tend to stay around 20ml per kg. But I also have a mostly sedentary lifestyle at the moment because of long office hours at work. If I was a lot more active, 30-40ml per kg would make a lot more sense.

[@DorseyNey]

Why are you not recommending potassium, calcium and magnesium as vital electrolytes? We need 3500-4700 mgs of potassium daily, although relatively abundant in food and beverages, it is still difficult to achieve the required amount. Intracellular potassium loss is the main cause of cramping muscles, headaches and even body pain. Magnesium requirements also taking a second place to this. Please, explain these vital electrolytes as well. Love your videos!!

[@truthboomertruthbomber5125]

About a year ago I started supplementing these electrolytes and the results were phenomenal. Lots more energy AND no more cramping to speak of. Before I would be guaranteed to have severe leg cramps during the night after a day of yard work.

I’ve always been quite active and never drunk much water - even during multi hour hot workouts. Even now in my late 40’s, I drink less than half of those around me doing the same level of exercise. I’ve never sweated a great deal. However. At around age 40 I was developing lots of cramps and frequent headaches. It was directly linked to being dehydrated. Since then I’ve upped my water intake (that is, I actually drink water), which has alleviated the issues. My point is, one size definitely does not fit all. The urine colour is what I use every time I pee to give me an indication. By being across the colour, I’ve learned how to drink enough.

If you buy bottled water, go for spring water and never purified. "Purified" waters are just boiled tap. There is a water sold in US supermarkets called Gerolsteiner which is full of electrolytes and has no calories or sugar like gross sports drinks.

[@Alex-fc8xn]

A small amount of sugar actually is helpful for hydration, along with sodium and potassium, because it helps your body absorb the water more effectively

[@SatyamSingh-ex9hv]

While drinking water swishing around little in mouth each time about 10 to 15 sec before swallowing water is so important because of the saliva because saliva contains minerals and while swishing around water saliva builds up in mouth and mix into water that you are going to swallow. This process helps body to remineralize and also keeps the good digestion system going because of the enzyme call amylase in saliva. Drink your food and chew your water before swallowing it. For the electrolyte consume foods that are rich in potassium, sodium and magnesium foods like bananas, beet greens, salmon, white beans, avocado, potatoes, milk, mushrooms, dill pickles, clams, Himalayan or Celtic sea salt, cheese, dry-roasted sunflower seeds, spinach, pumpkin seeds, Lima beans, tuna, brown rice, almonds.

I do extreme exercise 6-7 days a week and have done several 24-32 hour endurance events. For the long duration stuff i want to be peeing about once per hour, light color. Shorter stuff i water load 2-4 hours before, drink 1 litre plus at the session, more after. Stable weight, mental alertness, feeling sharp, also are signs of good hydration.

[@PrayWorkPlay]

Welcome back and thank you so much for this topic!!

[@devongannes7767]

really depends on body type...sugar, water and salt in moderation is key.

[@Here-Is-My-Handle]

As a swimmer, I’ve always wondered how much water I lose while swimming. Do I use the same formula for land exercisers?

[@maksim_arsic]

Yes

[@gaetanomontante5161]

As usual great presentation. For MOST people the best course of action is simple. Drink more when exercising, as your body demands, and while at rest drink as your body dictates. We will be fine following these common sense rules. Now, watching to the color of urine is important on its own as it can help us determine if not everything is alright with the body. We sort of develop a sense of what is normal for our body and take action when we feel it is not.

[@imperatormouse2735]

Would be good to have a video about which food makes which urine color and why because this overlaps with the effect of hydration and may lead to wrong conclusions.

[@Pauliesha]

They already did a vid on this recently called “how diet affects your pee”.

[@ahnilatedahnilated7703]

When I do a 100 mile bicycle ride in 95 F, I am drinking 36oz of water/hr. I also add in electrolytes as the ride can take upwards of 8 hrs. I never have to pee, don't feel hot or like I am getting dehydrated. I typically end up weighing about 5-6lbs less then when I started the ride. One would think that I am not drinking enough at 36oz/hr. I am 6'4" and 225lbs atm.

[@gimygaming8655]

Back when I was 13-16 my bladder fell out of my body (prolapsed) so I was only drinking 8oz a week (a 7 day week) and didn't eat anything for about 3 or so months before eating ONE meal. Did that for about two to three years. Now I have memory loss, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and hearing loss. I have a hard time focusing on things now whereas before I could pay attention to something as needed. I used to (and still do) tend to pass out. My world also seems to "glitch" and I dissociate often when I get dehydrated. I now have an ileostomy and lose even more water and electrolytes so the symptoms are amplified. Now I tend to drink 4 oz of water (often with electrolytes) and I eat. Dehydration is NO joke

[@jude4896]

Very nice presentation, thank you. You explained it very well. I appreciate your easy to understand information. Thank you.

[@iamallisonkok]

I love the fact that I'm gaining so much knowledge from this channel. Thank you. I'm having a problem with my thumb though 😔...the ligament at my wrist connecting the thumb. I can't bend my wrist in every direction. I never injured myself but I have this injury 🤕🙆🏻‍♂️😭. Mind sharing your thoughts or insights ☺️☺️☺️

[@zack_120]

I don't feel thirsty even after two hrs of moderate intensity exercises, meaning that the loss of 1L of body water through sweating only accounts ~2% of total body water pool so that my body spontaneously adjusts intra- to inter-cellular water distribution easily in real time. Thus, my hypothalamus even doesn't sense detectable changes in the osmolality, hence no thirst. The point: your body will tell you when it needs more water, a very fundamental auto-regulatory function for a species as sophisticated as Homo sapien.

[@GenZedsMother]

Exactly 💯

[@qendresashillova]

Ooo Jonathan, you need to show us your skincare routine.

[@theanatomylab]

Coming soon!😂

[@josephmwale3565]

My favourite channels on KZbin as a "information/knowledge gatherer"😂😂 are; • Branch science • StarTalk • Institute of Human Anatomy These are my favourite channels I love to visit if I want to learn something in line with my major curiosities. Always satisfying to watch and learn from these.

[@StuermischeTage]

Yeah, what the heck. That's such an insane amount of water. Hard to imagine that it would be healthy, For reference, I usually drink 1L of water per day, or 1,5 L of water on days where I exercise, and maybe a bit more on days of extreme exercise. That amount puts me in peak performance, running marathon, doing martial arts, rock climbing, cycling. Should probably add that I rarely ever sweat, except under extreme circumstances, so there's less water loss from that.

[@isabellaflorentina7574]

I also think it's an insane amount of water. I don't even drink 1 liter of water in an entire day. Plus I drink coffee which is DEHYDRATING. I couldn't even hold that much water without throwing up and feeling horribly bloated. I think every person is different. Maybe genetics play an important role in the needs a person has.

[@Armstrong1781]

so thankful you guys got your channel back ❤❤❤

[@tysnrs]

I have excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis) and then got (compensatory sweating) from a surgery that I had. So I sweat a lot 24/7. How much water and electrolytes should I drink every day? That will be very helpful with the situation that I’m in.

[@seastarbutterfly]

Great question for your doctor

[@chupacabra304]

Just a suggestion but make sure you’re urinating clear urine and not yellow and especially not dark yellow or orange colored urine.

[@Alex-fc8xn]

Definitely recommend talking to your doctor(s) about this one because it's pretty unique. You have to balance fluid and electrolyte intake with how it affects your cardiovascular system and kidneys, after all. Plus they might have advice or treatment for the excessive sweating, like how some people get underarm Botox for it

[@kateclark7250]

Thanks, Jonathan

[@Tormekia]

I used to be the sort who peed clear and thought that was good. Still hard to not freak out when I see yellow in the toilet - like, part of me still thinks I'm dehydrated. Though I'm not so obsessive I'm bringing color swatches in there to make sure it's the right shade of yellow. "Oh good, we're foggy lemon, not daffodil..."

[@gimygaming8655]

The ending has me dying laughing 😂😂😂 That being said, I can go without drinking anything for two or three days and still pee clear.

[@seattlegrrlie]

As a cyclist, the amount of water I can cycle through in an hour is pretty amazing on a hot, intense, and long ride. Snacking on some salty chips or adding electrolyte to a beverage is a must.

[@Ikw__]

How you described an Action Potential connected so many dots for me thank you.

[@AdamSmith-eh2qk]

This was a Masterclass on Hydration ‼️ Can’t Thank You Guys Enough ‼️

[@Unhate]

a channel like this run by a runner… invaluable. thank you. exactly what i wanted to know, especially how we carry electricity in our bodies 🤯

[@henrycarstensen]

I love watching these Videos when I am eating my pizza. You guys also got me into anatomy, because of you're detailed and yet simple to understand explanations, showing real bodies helps a lot. Keep it up.

[@georgethomas7724]

One of your best videos. Thank you! It’s been a constant debate between family and friends as to how much water to consume. This explains it factually and scientifically making it so easy for a lay man like me to understand. I have one question: Does consuming water with lower ph help in better absorption of water and electrolytes? I drink something known as Kangen water, with a 8.5 to 9.5 ph, it also has negative ORP levels. Would this better aid the process?

[@AIDcyt]

From what I've heard (I can easily be wrong), drinking water with a different pH level does not affect your body, as your body regulates it's pH outside of the digestive system. For ORP I haven't heard anyone talk about it, and through a quick search through Google Scholar, I haven't seen any research for ORP in drinking water, just for water treatment. In general, I recommend researching a product before using it, so you won't spent money for nothing

[@danielfranco794]

A lot of great information to take away from this video as usual! I would love to see you guys do a video on HMB supplementation. Keep up the good work!

[@MorawskiGRK]

Happy that you're back! 💖💖

[@TheAlkhemiaStudio]

Im glad you where able to recover your account!

[@theanatomylab]

Me too! It was a bit of a headache for the past 48hrs, but we got it fixed!

[@priapulida]

why was it gone?

[@ronjon7942]

Hi, I’m in the process of watching the IofHA’s video on how caffeine affects the body, but thought I would jump on a newer video immediately the hopes my special request might be seen. Can you please do a video on how Kratom affects the body and brain? Thank you, and thank you for your marvelous education. I really appreciate the practicality of them, and how you make your anatomy presentations understandable to lay persons like myself, but also sophisticated enough to where I’m able to use your content as a reliable primary source. They’re very useful when I use the information you present as a guide to get lost on the web when doing further research and exploration on the facts, concepts, and processes you describe. Nice work!

[@videoinformer]

"Sodium" intake usually means "sodium chloride", meaning sodium and chloride are both supplemented even though chloride isn't mentioned. But, sodium intake might also include sodium bicarbonate and/or monosodium glutamate. I'd love to hear what you have to say regarding the differences between these forms of sodium as well as what you have to say about chloride, which is almost always ignored, and might be ingested as sodium chloride and/or potassium chloride and/or calcium chloride. Between all these forms, chloride intake might be far *below* or far *above* the assumed 1-1 ratio with sodium intake.

[@tkqtkq1127]

Would anyone else be interested in a video covering substance addictions and the effects that different substances have on the human body? PLZZZZZZ

[@Alex-fc8xn]

Yes, especially if they mention how ADHD changes the way stimulants affect a person and why we are more likely to develop addictions if not diagnosed/given support/meds as needed.

[@gregboi183]

8:57 "dehydration is the process of moving from a state of euhydration to a state of dehydration" I assume you meant to say hypohydration the second time? Otherwise I'm confused as this seems to contradict the distinction you were just making

[@Red88Rex]

I’ve been using creatine for about 10 years now and I find the bare minimum is half gallon a day but I make sure I feel good and hydrated.

[@BiologicalMatter]

A fantastic educational video as always!

[@theanatomylab]

Thank you!

[@hueyahumana]

19:55 Excellent. Thank you.

[@laratheplanespotter]

I have PoTs so I’m told to drink at least 4 litres a day! I usually drink a couple of isotonic drinks a day then drink around 3/4 cups of tea and or coffee every day. I measure it out. If I get dizzy or feel like I’m going to pass out, I’ll drink a glass of water with diarrhoea relief salts in it and I will usually feel better.

[@laratheplanespotter]

And I’m tube fed so I’ll push the fluid through a pump and down my feeding tube at 100ml/hr

[@Alex-fc8xn]

I have POTS too! Tea and coffee can be a trigger for a lot of people with the condition, but I can tolerate green tea. I tend to use soy sauce as an emergency source of sodium since I can just carry the takeout packets with me, but I imagine that wouldn't work for you. I also use Hydralyte electrolyte tablets and know a lot of people like Liquid IV and Vitassium or even just capsules of salt to get their the daily salt intake

[@mellora28]

I have it as well. I add soy sauce to my tea for the added salt. My neurologist told me to take 3-5 grams of Himalayan salt tabs daily. I'm also supposed to at a minimum drink a half gallon of water. I usually mix it with liquid iv. If I don't drink the minimum then I feel horrible and can't function. I'm also on medication for it. I carry salt packets with me everywhere just in case of emergency.

[@mohammadalinajm-zade1477]

Very Very informative Doctor. Thanks A lot for sharing this amount of information along side with accuracy & particularly. 🙏🙏🙏

I'm glad, that you got the channel back so fast

[@jman1121]

"Its what plants crave!" Literally, the only thing i can think of everytime someone says electrolytes.

[@andrealogan4354]

Glad I’m not the only one 🤣

[@jay_rubyx]

Brawndo!!

[@ericbumbles4145]

I drink a lot of water each day. Part of it is medications I take and the other is since nursing my son years ago, it was instant dry mouth the moment he started So I drank lots of water to combat it, which in turn I produced more breast milk, more thirst and back and forth. However, since then it is a habit that stayed and increased when i was put on different meds. Each day I easily consume 4 litres, more in summer when I work outdoors. I don't know if its overkill or not, but i can't go without, I drink during the night too. My doc has not said anything about it, so I'm guessing I am fine.
