I was raised in a house without soda or sugary drinks other than one glass of fruit juice at breakfast (we were not allowed to drink anything but water and milk other than that). I used to hate the entire concept of sparkling water. I thought it just created waste and costs money. I also hate the taste. But, then I got married, and my husband really struggles with taking in liquid calories, and is constantly dehydrated. This year, as part of his goal to lose weight he has started drinking sparkling water and now I see the value. He is hydrating without drinking soda, juice or sugary sports drinks.

One other thing you can do with those sparkling waters is to add lemonade. You get a refreshing, sparkly drink at half the calories of a glass of straight-up lemonade. It's one of my favorite summer drinks. (You can also do this with hard seltzers if you're looking for a light cocktail, btw.)

One of my favorite beverages is soda water with cocktail bitters. Angostura adds a nice baking spice aroma and flavor, and orange bitters add a citrusy vibe. Other bitters can add other flavors like bitter chocolate or tart cherry. There’s a lot of minor things you can do that transforms that spicy water into something more flavorful without needing sugar.

*The answer for the paper cut question:* When cut by a knife or scissors, the injury is a clean cut where the edges of the wound are well defined and often not contaminated. Whereas when we get papercuts, it's often NOT a linear cut and it also tends to leave the fibres of the paper in between which causes inflammation and hence irritation which we feel is more painful. Hope Dr. Mike sees and validates this! 🤗

It’s really hard to make that choice because you “have” to and not because you want to. I work a harm reduction model now. 1 20oz a day and than Coke zero the rest of the day. I’m fat, so no matter how healthy I actually am, no one sees me that way. So I’m going to enjoy my life and pray I don’t almost die again by getting a prescription of losing weight.

I love that Dr. Mike admits that he looks up information instead of guessing. There is a large number of people that expect doctors and nurses to have all the answers. They tend to forget that doctors/nurses/other medical personnel are humans, and forgetting is normal. I would instead a doctor lookup an illness or information then provide me false information.

Technically, anyone can look things up for themselves. But what matters, and what sets a doctor apart, is having reliable sources and the medical intelligence to know bogus info when they see it, and the intelligence to quickly understand and absorb rich information and how to apply it to your situation.

As a future doctor myself I love your videos. Your communication throughout your videos is very inspiring and something that all United Kingdom health care professionals should look to emulate in their own work. From my experience the poor / lack of communication in hospitals here in the UK could solve so many problems if addressed correctly. There is a huge gap between the current communication system in hospitals and the one that is achievable with a minor effort form everyone.

However, seeing a doctor would help and maybe just practicing some person body positivity will help. I wore a bra all the time because of being self conscience ... now that I am mid 20s (26) ... wearing it hurts most of the say. Its not a natural support system the body is used to. In fact, wearing a bras are very foreign to the body. Not all women buy and wear the correct size which developes more problems like back issues, muscle issues, etc.

It's fine when you're playing, but you do it all the time, at least in my observation."

I used to have GERD, but drinking sparkling water (which is acidic) has been very helpful. As I understand it, (as it was explained by my GP) was when you introduce some acidity to your stomach, the little 'acid pumps' in your stomach shut off, determining there's enough acid in there! Seems counter-intuitive, but it has worked for me. I no longer take medicine for it, so that's a good thing.

@NikoBellaKhouf2 Жыл бұрын

The way it works is counterintuitive, but I'll explain. As we age, we produce less and less stomach acid (that's why we have trouble digesting certain foods as we age). Acid reflux happens when we don't have enough acid. There's sensors in your stomach that sense how much acid is in your stomach. When the level is high enough, it sends a signal to your esophageal sphincter to shut tight. So when it's too low, your esophageal sphincter opens and what little acid you do have will be splashing out. That's why you feel better when you consume acidic drinks, or even apple cider vinegar. If you increase the acid in your stomach, you can pretty much reverse acid reflux. You'll be able to enjoy foods like tomato sauce, chocolate, spicy foods, etc. You can acidify your stomach with Betaine HCL tablets. Or you can mix a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar in an 8oz glass of water before each meal and before bedtime. Just make sure you use a straw to protect your teeth. Also, apple cider vinegar in excess will deplete potassium, so if you get muscle cramps in your calves after consuming ACV, then take a potassium supplement.

@DoctorMike for those of us who are getting older, stretching first thing in the morning before hydrating can be problematic because apparently the body’s vulnerability is greater. I learned this the hard way when I decided to start stretching while still in bed before I got up and immediately pinched a nerve that controls my left arm. It was extraordinarily painful and the impingement took days to resolve. I since learned that other friends (50s, 60s, 70s) have similarly had issues like throwing out their backs. It sounds crazy but it’s true. And Bob and Brad the KZfaq physical therapist have also discussed this on their channel and the reasoning. All I can say for sure is that they really helped me to start stretching at night right BEFORE bed, which aids in body and muscle health, and now be more gentle when I get up and head for some water to drink right away. I hope this helps to share here because I love your vibe (so-called dad jokes and all) and the information you provide is important.

On the water issue during the day, it's usually different if you chug it all at once or have it more gradually, but people can adapt, too. When I lived in the desert southwest I was very busy through the day with school and then sports after, and I would usually chug a lot of water around dinner time after sports. It was uncomfortable at first when I wasn't used to it, but my body adapted. Living in different climates and with different circumstances I've changed back to more frequent drinking but smaller amounts. Within reason, you can adapt to a pretty wide variety of circumstances as long as you generally get enough water when you're thirsty.

Good for you! Coke and Pepsi want you to be addicted to sugary sodas, the same way McDonald's wants you addicted to burgers. It's wreaking havoc on lower income communities that don't have the education on how bad that stuff is for you. Even worse, they ensure that it's cheaper than the healthy alternatives like sparkling water. If you wanna go a step further, cut fruit juices out of your diet as well. The sugar content outweighs the nutritional value. It's better to just buy the fruit so you get the requisite fiber content as well which helps inhibit the body's absorption of sugar.

Last question about the burns, I actually knew what they all were. Reason being is that when I was like 2, I got 2nd degree burns on my face, and a 3rd degree burn on my arm. I’m almost 27 now and some of the scars on the forehead remain, and the scar on my arm where I got the 3rd degree burn is still readily visible. Have to be extra careful with that in strong sunshine due to the lacking melanin in that part of my arm.

I read somewhere years ago about why paper-cuts hurt more. Firstly, you usually get them on fingertips, which have larger amount of nerve endings, that get cut, so it can intensify the pain. Secondly, and this is the more important part, it's because of the depth. Paper-cuts usually do not penetrate the skin that much, mainly the outer layers, and as such they cut far fewer blood vessels (usually just capillaries), while more "serious" cuts would go a bit deeper and not only cut more capillaries, but have a chance of damaging a vein or even an artery. The amount of damage to blood vessels impact the amount of blood, and the more blood you get - the less painful the cut will be. Why? Because of oxygen. Part of the reason, why you feel pain from such open wounds is because oxygen reacts with the damaged nerves, "burning" them as oxygen does with anything else. But if you had some blood vessels damaged - blood will pour out, fill in the "gaps" in the cut, cauterize and, as such, reduce the surface area reacting with oxygen and/or slow down the reaction itself (from what I understand this depends on the form of the cut, placement, what vessels were cut, "quality" of the blood and maybe some other factors). Now, I can't say if this is 100% true, but to my logical mind, which has at least some basic knowledge of biology and chemistry - it does make perfect sense.

@jelatinosa 10 ай бұрын

Makes sense. I've gotten cut by scissors and paper. I didn't realize the scissors had cut me till I saw the blood dripping everywhere, but I immediately feel it when I get a paper cut. It stings more. The deeper cuts hurt more afterwards, but papercuts hurt pretty much immediately.

@wizardddy3023 9 ай бұрын

Another reason is because when you look at a piece of paper under a microscope, it is a very rough material made up of basically a bunch of tiny, rough particles "glued" to each other. When you cut yourself with a piece of paper, a whole bunch of those tiny particles break off and get stuck in your wound, causing more pain. I think I saw that on QI, and you know they're always right. xD

@Julia-lk8jn 9 ай бұрын

Interesting! Very much with you on the nerve endings, though I did a mental double take at the thought of blood 'cauterizing' anything (are we getting into dragon shape-shifter territory here?). And yep, it makes sense that some blood is a vital part of would healing, so if there's no bleeding, there's no fun bio-chemical cascade (involving a _von Willebrand_ factor; how cool is that?) leading to blood coagulating and a nice, air-tight wound cover, so the poor wound stays open and, naturally, keeps complaining about it.

I worked in print a while. The seasoned pros had tons of thickened scars on the web between the index finger and thumb, from constantly grabbing reams of paper. A paper cut on the finger is not fun. Several pages from a ream of heavy gloss paper slicing your webbing is a whole other level. One of the tricks was to keep your hands moisturized, because dry skin is more susceptible to cuts. Have to balance that with not getting oil stains on paper, though.

What you said about pain perception is very true. I twisted my ankle about a month ago. I thought it was just a sprain, which happens to me often. So I was walking around on it like "nah this doesn't hurt, I'm fine" 2 weeks later it still hurt a little so I went to the doctor. They did an xray and set me up with physical therapy. since they never called me after the xray I figured it was fine. 2 weeks later I went to PT and they therapist looked into my record and it showed "probable aversion fracture". Since hearing that news the pain in my ankle has gone up substantially. Like a whole 2 points up on the pain scale. Follow up with my doctor tomorrow to find out what to do about the fact I walked on a fractured ankle for a month

So, as a young child I learned pain is kind of mind over matter, when I was about 6 we were at the creek, and my younger brother and I saw a dead fish and got scared and ran out of the water. As I looked back there were big streaks of blood on the rocks and river stones. I thought the blood was from my brother so I immediately checked him over. He had a very small scratch on the bottom of his foot and I registered the amount of blood that I saw could not have come from that scratch so still confused I looked at my own feet. The moment I saw the huge gash that was gushing blood on the bottom of my foot the pain hit me. I started screaming from the pain and limped back to the shore to see what had hurt me and realized there was a completely intact bottom 1/4 of a 40 0z beer bottle in the water, as we ran from the dead fish I was in front of my brother and stepped on the bottle receiving a circular gash but he had seen it and jumped over it only getting a scratch. My mom rushed me to the hospital and they had to put stitches in. I also learned what adrenaline can do because it took 6 female nurses and 3 male doctors to force my foot down into a small container of medication (I think it was iodine because it was brownish-red) I was maybe 7 at the time but I could have been 6 going to turn 7 in the fall because I started kindergarten early.

1:50 I remember hearing it's actually true it does hurt more and for a few reasons too. First of all, the paper cut isn't as much a "clean" cut as it is just shredding things apart. Secondly paper cuts are shallower and might not even draw blood, thus without blood there isn't a protective clot so your nerves are left exposed to the air to be hurt.

I don't find that surprising. We occasionally get a lost bat in the building I work in. Saw one personally one winter, poor little guy must've been snoozing and there was a gap somewhere and he saw light and crawled out to investigate and had some fun getting the attention of all the grad students working that evening by flying up and down the hall (it was really neat to see him flying in full light like that, rather than just a shadow). I think normally the bat(s) have roosted in an eave or something and just take a wrong turn trying to get back outside, not like they are living INSIDE the building in large numbers as that would be quite the health hazard with the guano.
