@hubermanlabcorps what about elderly ?

@HubermanLabClips I miss the old Huberman that we have seen the past years. It took 11 minutes to state: "80 ounches or 2,4 L of water the first 10 hours of the day, and when exercising (bodyweight (in pounds) / 30) of water per 20 minutes of that exercise." I remember you talking about hormones & other things and I was passionate acquiring the cumulative knowledge you had to offer. Now your views have declined and it is clearly because the audience wants to hear more facts that can be used by anyone in reality by using words that hit bullseye, and less talking when you use words to describe what is around bullseye. I understand that sometimes inspiration, work or progress does not erupt at same levels as it did in the past. But thats normal. When the anxiety kicks in that comes from the illusion that you need to satisfy the expectations of your subscribers and rushes you to publish another video, you can remember that we have no expectations from you. And at the same time we feel intrigued and that our life quality will be increased by a bit more, when we receive a notification that another video has been uploaded by your channel. No need to be strict and squishy on yourself to upload another video. We understand that you are a scientist first, and secondarily a youtuber. And a scientist might have to spend years of research and studying before he comes up with cumulative and tons of information. Your audience knows that, thats why there is no need for you to feel anxious, we have no expectations. Take your time, and when you will be ready to upload another video, you will know it, I am pretty sure it will go viral and it will hit millions of views, if not billions. Good luck!

Thank you , god bless you lmao

And do that in the first 10 hours of your day, then stop. Except when you exercise in the evening, of course.

Thank you.

I add pink himalayan salt to my water and drink coconut water along, along with green tea, lemon+ ginger tea and 1 more herbal tea

wow. .no.. how much are you exercising !?

Probably for the same reason air isn’t. It’s not a health pillar, it’s a life pillar

Thanks, honestly if I drink the average 2,4L in 10 hours, I'll spend those 10 hours in the restroom. I reach 2,2L in summer time but max 1,2L in winter...

is it true you need to only drink in the first 10 hours of your day? I am at the same situation you are, drinking 4,5-5L of water per day in the last years and I think I’ll try to take it down to 3 just to see the changes

lol I drink less than 1/day and feel fine. No exercise tho, surely if I did I would increase it by at least half.

This is very specific to each individual. At my most active I was weighing around 190lbs, running 8-10 miles a week also weight lifting as much as you were but would find myself drinking 1.5-2 gallons of water daily. Never felt better

@@CraigJonesFluffer as I said you should adapt your fluid intake to your bodyweight AND activity level. Seems like you did alot of high intensity cardio which in most cases makes ppl sweat alot. Then it makes sense you need to drink more water and up your sodium/electrolyte intake even more. Generally speaking weightlifting doesn't make you sweat as much in comparison

You're on the perfect way

it's too much, way too much deuterium than you mitichondria can tolerate for long

How do we add electrolytes? Add a little of salt to our water? How can I buy the potassium and magnesium? In the grocery store? I don't want to buy those super expensive LMNT sticks😊

@mareezy I just like to eat a lot of salt on my food haha And I supplement magnesium, more or less every day

Placebo

Hardly, you are factually less fatigued hydrated than not. ​@@solemaniharami3963

Could you explain further?

​@@solemaniharami3963found the man with apple juice piss

you, my friend, are getting a placebo effect then.

Your body doesn’t hydrate instantly when you ingest fluids. You feel the need to drink on active days because you were dehydrated when you started the activity, if you drank the water the day before or maybe morning of, you would have been fine. Water is a preventative measure for dehydration, not an instant cure.

I have a 2.3L water bottle for this exact reason. Not ideal for traveling but great to know I had at least over a half gallon when it's empty

Easiest way to keep track is to have a dedicated water bottle. Mine is 20oz so I know I need to drink at least 5 a day.

That sounds a bit silly. Just drink with meals you won't go thirsty.

You feel it? Knowing and feeling is very different.

​@@JustChill-zd4ibhahahahah Your speculation is joke

sometimes i just let it splash all over my body.

​@@plumbthumbs9584it's called as bath

I added magnesium glycinate in evening and stopped all the night muscle cramps.

Leg cramps are linked to dehydration and magnesium, so I'd address both

@@thegentlelivingchannel I drink 1 gallon water a day

After dinner, try a cup of water with a tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar to stop the cramps. It's something about minerals and it sure works for me.

@@BarbaraMurphy-rd2wo leg cramps are a common side effect of dehydration and of mineral depletion. If they're finding that water makes them stop, it's just a dehydration issue.

Yes, this. "some parts of Europe have smaller cans of soda, but that's a topic for a different time" looks up with a smirk....

lmao@@VanessaShowShow

Me too

Dr Batmanghelidj's books and protocol handled that 20+ years ago.

​@@thegentlelivingchannelAre you Dr Batmanghelidj here promoting your book in the comments?

Yeah any liquid mostly from water counts as drinking water

all good questions!

urine should not be a color my man. you should be drinking mostly water and it should be clear 95% of the time

Drink a big glass of water upon rising, and try to get 5-10 fruits and veg a day (your body loves phyto water for hydration) and losing body fat also increases your hydration percentage a lot. No real need for gallon of water if eating properly and not a big exerciser.

I had the same issue as you(waking up almost every night to pee), then after I watched his podcast on water, I set up a daily alarm to ring 10 hours after my regular waking hour. When that alarm rings, I take my last sip of water for the day. Unfortunately, I cannot respect this protocol every day, but when I do, most of the times, I don't wake up to pee at night. When I ignore the alarm, I always wake up to go to the bathroom.

Yeah I have been getting up to use bathroom for the past 10 years since I was 20..idk weird

That's what I understood 🤣

Cramping is a good indicator.

Too low sodium negatively affects your brain. You’ll feel lightheaded and possibly dizzy. I speak from experience. Don’t be afraid of salt because you can consume 10x your daily limit of sodium and your body will flush out. This is assigning you drink enough water to fish the excess sodium out, and that you have no (high) blood pressure problems

Muscle soreness could be from magnesium deficiency

Just read the protocol outlined by Dr Batmanghelidj 20 years ago.

No, once you're hydrated and getting electrolytes you don't actually find it goes right through you.

@@thegentlelivingchannel not sure this is true no matter how hydration level if i drink water past 8pm i am getting up in the middle of the night

As someone who drinks at least 3-4 litres of water every day, I certainly have to use to toilet a lot throughout the day@@thegentlelivingchannel

​@@msk3905Honestly, I find if I drink a lot of water it seems once I'm hydrated it then starts going right through me. I think of this as my body has absorbed what it needs so the rest goes out.

@@thegentlelivingchannel That's what everyone says. Has anyone ever reached this blessed state of non-urination nirvana?

Ignorance. Read just one of the books by Dr Batmanghelidj about hydration. You need to also balance the water with salt, which he explains how to do. He also outlines the clinicslly proven symptoms of chronic dehydration which occur from even mild levels, from moderate to severe. Your doctor is very wrong.

Doctors aren't experts in everything.

Overhydration is definitely a thing. I do weightlifting 4-5x a week and the first few years I used to drink 5L of fluid per day (on 85-90 kg bodyweight) because I believed in bs information from bodybuilder/fitness influencers. I was urinating constantly and felt tired/lethargic throughout the day, which is due to electrolyte imbalance. The past year my fluid intake has been reduced to around 3-3,5L per day and I feel much better and have alot more energy. It's all about getting ENOUGH fluid for YOUR bodyweight and lifestyle (not more or less) and making sure u get enough salt and electrolytes in your diet. People also tend to forget that there's lots of fluid in vegetables and fruit which also should be counted in your daily total.

Same question for me

Yes drinking too much filtered water without electrolytes will dehydrate you. I learned that lesson the hard way and developed seizures from the lack of electrolytes. I thought I was hydrated though due to all the water boy was I wrong. You have to balance the water intake and electrolytes otherwise you will become dehydrated.

I totally agree. The problem is the world is run by corporations who want to sell bottled water. I think the best way to hydrate where I am is we have these pomelos that are a tad sweet and hold a lot of water. Too sugary is no good imo. Don’t drink water eat things that contain a lot of water… the best fruit is up to each person and where they live. I can’t believe so much focus is on drinking straight water myself. That’s not how we evolved it’s clearly not the best way to go

He has a pen, obviously this is science based

It doesn't really matter, just keep the hydration and electrolyte levels up daily. Dr Batmanghelidj wrote several pretty legendary books about hydration, with a pretty foolproof protocol.

Anyone giving you a rule on how much to drink in a day is going to be wrong. Your body tells you when you are dehydrated. Plain and simple.
