Why You Don't Need 8 Glasses of Water a Day | Adam Ruins Everything

[@damyenhockman5440]

Salt is lost in sweat, and a lack of salt can decrease the rate at which neurons fire, as electrolytes, such as salt, conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Slower neurons can lower reaction speed, ability to strategize, and ability to communicate. The sugar in sports drinks provide an immediate and easily accessed form of energy. The water is the least important part of sports drinks, besides needing something to suspend the particles in so it's not dust.

Side note: Heat Stroke is something that often times can feel unnoticeable on an individual. In southwestern Arizona, the most dangerous thing you can die from during July is attending Fourth of July events and not remembering to sit in the shade every once in a while. Fire crews are always on duty during 4th of July events for reasons *other than fires caused by fireworks.* EMT's are always on active duty and, in July, are called in on heat strokes far too often. But, Adam is right. Drink when you're thirsty. If you live in an area where July temperatures reach over 120 degrees (Fahrenheit (because your pool would be over the point of boiling if it were Celcius)), remember to take frequent breaks in the shade and cool yourself down. Nothing sucks more than the *bill* of being transported to the ER with IV's stick in you. And believe me, you would prefer the IV's over the hospital bill. Especially if your insurance doesn't cover it.

[@DEClimax]

I once experienced severe dehydration. It didn't happen because I wasn't drinking enough, it happened because I was incredibly sick and spent two days shitting, pissing, and vomiting out every ounce of water I put into my body. I could barely walk, I was mostly crawling around the house, and at one point I passed out in the kitchen and I was only okay because my dad was around. It was probably the worst experience of my life. The fact that people think that they're going to have an experience like that, that happened during THE WORST SICKNESS OF MY LIFE, simply by not guzzling down as much water as they physically can, is insane.

[@connieburgett2994]

DE Climax Exactly! I am a very stupid and forgetful person, so I forgot to drink anything for four days. I didn't feel or even think about being dehydrated until I began vomiting while moving into my new apartment. I kept telling my mom that I couldn't walk or move stuff without the literal gut-wrenching feeling, but she dismissed it. I was hospitalized, for I couldn't keep any shit down. Did you know a f*cking IV bag (just the bag, not the solution) is $250? I'm still freaked out about the whole visit; I usually just drink around a liter a day. Hate being sick, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I'm sure you had it worse than me, I don't know why I'm "sharing my experience" here. Have a super great day!

[@Prospitfox]

A very recent study from Harvard suggests 4-6 8oz (1 cup) glasses of water a day. Of course drinking when you’re thirsty is the right way to go for most people, but for anyone with mental illnesses or developmental disorders that make it difficult to sense and correctly interpret the signals your body sends (autism and adhd are both examples of this), or if executive function problems make you forget to act on those signals (major depression is an example) it’s very easy to not REALIZE you’re thirsty, or to forget to get up and get a drink when you are. So, in that case it could be helpful to count glasses and if it’s been a few hours since you had water, have another cup.

[@ИванБорисюк-п7э]

I'll tell you more, most people wouldn't feel thirsty just because of all the stress we receive constantly. I might just be overwhelmed with all the things I have to do, so I wouldn't really notice I didn't eat or didn't drink or even go to the bathroom. The problem isn't dehydration, the problem are long distance problems, such as blood clogs, high pressure because blood isn't fluent enough, heart diseases as a consequence. 8 glasses of water throughout a day wouldn't ever cause u a problem. Cases Adam described here happened because athletes were drinking more than 8 glasses and in shorter span of time. And yes, it should be water, a simple water, not gatorade, coffee, tea or what have u.

Yep. My undergraduate human anatomy teacher (the guy essentially screening students for medical school) would always go on rants about what was in beverages. He would say that sports drinks are primarily sugar water with just a touch of salts. The salts are actually lower in concentration than they are in a healthy body, so you're diluting all the excess sodium from your diet. The problem is that you don't get the other salts you need like potassium. That's why I alter my own drinks at home. I make big pitchers of Mio and add in pink himalayan salt and salt substitute which is just potassium salt. It tastes a tad salty, but if I get thirsty I can just drink regular water.

Your thirst response will need to adapt for the first couple days. - Important though it is, more water won't save you from heatstroke if you're out in the sun all day, and heatstroke can absolutely be deadly.

I generally wait until I'm thirsty to drink during the day, but with as much as I sweat, if I don't chug a couple bottles' worth of water before I start then I feel like I'm having to play catch up when I start lifting or jogging, which inhibits my performance until I get enough water in my system.

Heat sickness will actually remove the thirst you’re feeling, and dehydration kicks in really quickly in high heat or high humidity environments. The key phrase the doctor said is that drinking when thirsty is fine when you have access to water. That isn’t always the case, which is why it’s good to stay properly hydrated. I suffered from dehydration twice and heatstroke twice while overseas. Dehydration feels absolutely terrible but easily fixed. The heatstroke will kill ya ded.

I'm sorry, but I can't find a single source that says water doesn't help prevent cramps. In fact, your source was from "Medical News Today" from June 2015? Well, I have an article from "Medical News Today" from Dec. 2015 that says the complete opposite. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/180160.php?page=2#preventing_leg_cramps "as dehydration may increase the risk of leg cramps, drinking plenty of fluids may help prevent them." Granted, this article only covers leg cramps, but that is the most common cramp that humans get. Cramping is due a lack of water and/or electrolytes in the muscle. These two things are normally lost through exercise. That's why it's so important for an athlete to stay hydrated at all times, and why most athletes "prehydrate", so the intervals of which they need to rehydrated are elongated. This makes sure they don't need to run off the playing field every couple minutes because they feel thirsty. I've experienced it first hand. All four years during high school football preseason. The first couple weeks were hell because I rarely prehydrated before preseason started, so I'd constantly get leg cramps in the middle of the night due to dehydration. While this video may be accurate for the average American, you should not be giving us this information in the context of a sports setting. That information is quite dangerous (although not lethal) for serious athletes.

[@griphters4476]

It only says that dehydration may increase the risk of a cramp. That doesn't mean if you have to drink more than normal, it prevents cramps. Also: "may" is an uncertain terminology, so this study "may not" be true as well. :P

[@Toastmaster_5000]

You are prone to cramps when dehydrated, which obviously water fixes. You are not any less prone to cramps if you are not dehydrated and continue to drink water.

[@Falcon4224]

+Ziffly So, because there are no studies to confirm or deny something, we are simply going to say it's a myth? When it comes to history, economics, etc, that's fine to debate. But when it comes to human health, that's a very dangerous philosophy.

[@Falcon4224]

+Peter Schmidt Yes, but the problem is that athletes don't have access to water all the time. When they are on the field during a game, they can't run off between downs in order to get hydrated. Obviously, overhydrating doesn't further decrease your chance of cramps, but that's not why athletes overhydrate. They overhydrate to prevent dehydration from occurring.

[@yvonnew2688]

While there is no medical reason to drink *exactly 8 glasses* of water a day, the rule is just there *to remind people to drink water daily* and *to give a simple estimate* of how much water one should take daily. There are medical reasons to drink water, like to *alleviate and/or prevent constipation and kidney stones* . Staying hydrated is important for your health. Some people need more than that 8 glasses, some people need less. A lot of factors determine how much fluid intake your body needs, like sickness, environmental temperature, and physical activity, amongst others. And remember, you can also eat your water by consuming foods with a high water content like watermelon. Also, overhydration poses health risks (it leads to water intoxication which can be life-threatening), as does dehydration (also has life-threatening complications). So it's important to drink just enough water, not too much water and not too little. And, since calculating exactly how much gets a little bit complicated, even doctors and scientists will tell you to go by the 8 glasses (medium-sized glasses), unless there is a specific reason otherwise, because while *drink when you're thirsty* may work, some people's thirst mechanism may be inhibited for one reason or another. But people do overdo it because they forget that coffees and sodas and such count as fluids, as do foods high in water content.

[@emmaalways3210]

Obviously over consumption of water is a whole different game ,however dehydration occurs way more frequently then over hydration in the real world, Why or how you may ask ? Because the body mistakes the signal of being thirsty with being hungry and most cases people will eat instead of drinking a glass of water because they think they feel hungry.

Actually, cramps are not caused by lactic acid, which scientists used to believe back in the days. Lactic acid is indeed produced after intense training but it will decompose within an hour. Cramps however hurt most after a day. Nowadays scientists believe cramps are caused by tiny tears in the muscle fibres.

Probably just overheating then. While collapsing and/or fainting is often associated with "dehydration," its also a symptom of just straight-up being too hot for too long and not having sufficient salts and nutrition due to sweating. Your friends water levels likely weren't the issue.

Adam please do an Episode on protein shakes and workout love the show

[@MrAnonymus23]

A protein shake BEFORE a workout full of BCAAs will actually help you more as protein takes about an hour per 10g to absorb. Now, BCAAs, or Base Chain Amino Acids get sucked up quick. A post workout shake helps your body with Protein Synthesis and recover faster because Whey Protein is the fastest protein your body can absorb, the only thing faster is straight up amino acids. I have both a pre and post workout shake cause I lift heavy and very often following a golden age bodybuilding style routine of two body parts a day: Chest and back, Legs, arms and shoulder. I do this six days a week and train to near failure, you might not train as hard or often so the best thing I can recommend that'll save you money is have a good shake prior, or do what I do and have both prior and after, or mix some BCAAs into your water 30 minutes beforehand to get them in your system quick. Oh, and you do wanna drink water if you're a very active person or train hard cause you will get cramps, I've had them, not fun when using a leg press machine with 8 45s and still have 5 more reps to go. Hope this helps my friend. Of course like they said, don't over hydrate, but do drink cause oxygen in your muscles while training is very VERY good.

[@rangaros4597]

You do know a lot of the information out there about fitness is just wrong and is normally just rumors spread through gyms/misinformation/VERY little actual study on it. You can just apply supplements to this video instead of water and it works exactly the same, the whole point is to make you believe they work and waste your money on them.

[@MrAnonymus23]

Rangaros It's different per person, if your goal is muscle growth and development then supplementing with BCAAs and Protein is a must, no matter how much chicken you eat the body just won't absorb the protein as fast as say Whey Protein Isolate, and Amino Acids get sucked up really quick, so while a post work shake is a good thing, a pre workout shake will help, cause it takes time for your body to absorb the Amino Acids and proteins, and taking it before means that you'll get those Proteins and Amino Acids right when you need them most. You can search all this up this isn't bro science it's fact, as well as years working out and finding out what works and what doesn't.

There are some flaws in this thinking. I for one, have a poor thirst drive and can go all day without feeling thirsty. Which is why it is important to push fluids. Of course I don't think it's necessary to drink large amounts of fluid, but drinking throughout the day does wonders. I have two 24 oz bottles of water I drink and feel fine at the end of the day. It helps flush out toxins in the body and keeps you from over eating. There are a lot of benefits to drinking even when you're not thirsty. Just don't overdo it. Too much water will overwork your kidneys. It's even worse with caffeinated beverages.

@@catsballs9657 well sure but even food with water in it isn't going to hydrate you as much as if you just drank all the water in the food - think of eating food with no water in it: would that be neutral or dehydrate you? the answer is it works dehydrate you, because basically all good has components which naturally lower effective hydration like salt, which partially counteract the water in them. Also regarding thirst sensitivity - like any sense people are different in how accurate it is! generally a good idea to experiment with drinking a LITTLE bit more or less then you feel like when you're thirsty - if you notice you consistently feel better when you drink more than you previously did then you should continue doing that, but still based on when you feel thirsty

The bigger issue with hydration is that when some people are thirsty they don’t go for water, they go for soda, milk, or an energy drink. Couple that with coffee and you have a recipe for dehydration. My sister went months without drinking just plain water and was very fatigued as a result.

[@dunebasher1971]

All the liquids you mentioned are mostly water anyway - even cow's milk is 87% water. So by drinking them, you're still getting all the water you need. The only advantage of drinking plain water is that you're not getting the sugar, dairy fats and caffeine that come with soda, milk and coffee.

But often i find that drinking more leads to myself just feeling better overall. It's some days around 8 cups, but the amount of times i go to the toilet tells me that's probably a littlr much. It's better for the kidneys because they have more liquid to filter particles into urine, decreasing risk of kidney stones. When taking creatine and working out, it is important as more is being used for your muscles. Drinking more decreases appetite, decreasing the challenge of weight gain. There are benefits to drinking more. Just don't overdo it.
