all right what are the seven signs that

you’re not drinking enough water now

I’ve done other videos on the dangers of

drinking too much water but there is

such a thing as dehydration as well so

yes you need to drink when you’re

thirsty but there are other indications

that tell you that you need to drink a

little bit more okay if you are a stone

former or you’re the history of kidney

stones you need to drink a little more

water because it’s the concentration

it’s a super concentration of that urine

with the Ox let’s okay and the calcium

all together that form the stone if you

have more fluid in there that would

decrease the risk of getting this Jones

number to low blood pressure especially

on keto because with keto you lower your

carbs you get rid of all the excess

fluid and sometimes people don’t consume

enough salt and the volume the fluid

goes down so they might end up with low

blood pressure and get number seven

lightheadedness okay so you always want

to if you get lightheadedness just check

your blood pressure and then just drink

more water and more salt very simple I

see this too with people that consume

too much potassium without the sodium

that can deplete the water as a diuretic

and then if you don’t have enough sodium

sodium is a thing that helps you retain

the fluid so you do need about a

thousand milligrams of sodium per day as

a requirement if your urine is really

dark you see this on keto as well you

don’t want your urine completely clear

you want it like a straw color but you

don’t want it super dark so this is a

really good a good way to know if you’re

drinking enough water number four the

skin pinch test I did a video on this

I’ll put it down below it’s real simple

you just basically pinch your skin and

see how fast it comes back okay the

elasticity someone who’s dehydrated you

print pinch it and it just stays there

for a period of time so you wanted to

come back within seconds okay all right

dry sticky mouth it could mean you’re

dehydrated number six you’re constipated

after you consume vegetables what’s

interesting what I can

assume I salad I get really thirsty why

is that it is simply that these

vegetables have fibers that retain fluid

okay

and if you don’t consume enough water

potentially it could be constipating

because you might not have the same

ability for that fiber to form into the

gel that’s supposed to form into and I

already mentioned this which is

connected to low blood pressure alright

guys so in summary you do want to pay

attention to your thirst but these are

some other indicators that may mean that

you need a little bit more water thanks
