hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about the person that is retaining fluid

yet they are dehydrated

is it possible well let’s talk about it

alright before I get into it I want to

explain something

glucose is stored in the body as

something called glycogen okay so

glycogen is a string of glucose

molecules glucose is sugar now check

this out one gram of glycogen bonds to

two grams of water

so basically glycogen is a fluid-filled

sponge okay there’s a lot of water there

so when you’re running your body on

sugar fuel and not on fat feel because

you haven’t discovered the ketogenic

diet or intermittent fasting yet you’re

holding a lot of fluid you’re having a

Demers Welling you press in the ankles

and you see this dent that forms okay

that’s because you’re running on sugar

also having too much sugar has a

tendency to retain sodium and it rids

potassium so when you have high blood

sugars and high insulin you’re dumping a

lot of potassium you’re retaining sodium

now the body will start diluting this

toxic sugar it’s it this is a defense

mechanism against sugar with water

it’ll take water and it flushes it out

through the urine this is why diabetics

pee so often this is why diabetics are

so thirsty because the body is trying to

take this water and flush out this sugar

okay so I mean you take a diabetic

that’s very high levels of sugar and

their urine is filled with sugar okay

that’s why now one of the most common

symptoms of being a diabetic is dry eyes

okay the lens of the eye is so

dehydrated it gets really sticky it

feels like there’s sand in there it gets

irritated it becomes red okay I had dry

eyes really really bad when I was in my

20s okay I remember we were moving

across the country and I packed up

everything in this huge truck and pulled

my car on the back my wife was gonna

sell the house and I was gonna move

across country so I get in the car and

start driving right

so I’m in the middle of nowhere and I

closed my eye and I opened my eye and it

just rips my cornea because I had dry

eyes at the time so here I am in the

middle of nowhere

I can’t see I can’t drive so I pull off

I find little hotel and I basically

somehow parked this big truck went in

there so I get to sleep and my eyes are

closed and I’m like okay good it’s all

healed I open my eye and it rips my

cornea again okay so now silent Saturday

I’m stranded the middle of nowhere so I

will start walking down the street

looking for an eye doctor in the middle

of nowhere there just happens to be an

eye doctor right next to the hotel so I

go up there they’re open thank goodness

but they’re busy until Monday okay so I

just basically barked right back through

the reception office and I say excuse me

doctor you got to help me I need

something for my eye you gotta help me

so he put me the room gave me some

medication for the eye and I got back on

the road but the point was that that was

dry eyes I had a blood sugar problem so

bad just previous to that I was

traveling around the country trying to

fix my own health going to the gurus I

went to dr. Bernard Jensen’s seminar in

San Diego and he’s like the author of

colon hydrotherapy like he is the Guru

okay I think he invented it so I go to

the seminar I stand in line at the end

for hours and hours to talk to him and I

said hey Doc what is this what’s going

on to my eyes you know cuz they’re all

bloodshot and they’re feel like there’s

sand in them and so he goes he looks out

he goes I don’t know so he didn’t really

help me but here’s the point yours later

I after fixing my blood sugars all my

eye problems completely cleared out so

it was really the blood sugar issue

which I had a problem with since I was a

kid that was causing that so what

happened your cells in this situation

will become dehydrated yet you’re gonna

retain fluid outside the cells so you

can vision your cells looking like

reasons okay with all the fluid outside

the cell so that’s the scenario so this

is just another reason why you need to

do keto and in a minute fasting all

right I will put a link down below of

how to do that I’ll see in the next

video hey if you’re interested in
