hi guys today we’re going to talk about

dry mouth on Kido now there is a certain

medical condition that has to do with

your salivary glands not producing

enough saliva okay and that can come

from an autoimmune condition or let’s

say you’re in chemo I’m not going to get

into that condition what I’m going to

talk about is why you would have dry

mouth on Kido now one of the fluids has

a high amount of an enzyme called

amylase okay this is an enzyme that

breaks down starches and the average

amount of saliva that an adult produces

per day is between 0.5 and 1.5 liters

that’s two to six cups of saliva every

single day so now let’s talk about why

you would potentially have dry mouth

when you do Kido the first thing is that

you’re not consuming starches anymore

you’re not doing breads or potato you’re

not doing sugar anymore hopefully okay

so the need for that enzyme goes way

down so the need to produce that fluid

also goes down okay that’s one reason

the other reason has to do with your

electrolytes okay so when you do keto

the need for certain minerals goes up

especially potassium and magnesium and

because someone is cutting their carbs

down a lot of times they reduce

vegetable carbohydrates as well so

potentially they’re not going to get the

minerals that they need from other foods

so just you know you’d have to consume

between 7 10 cups of salad per day to

get your potassium requirement which is

40 700 milligrams and realize that if

you’re consuming that much vegetable

you’re also getting the other minerals

as well now typically when you’re doing

keto they’re not emphasizing doing more

vegetables on a keto plan unless you’re

doing what I recommend which is the

healthy version of keto in which you

would consume more vegetables and you

wouldn’t have a problem with the

electrolytes so to prevent dry mouth

when you’re in keto you have a couple

options

increase the amount of vegetables that

you’re consuming okay and or salad or

take a good electrolyte powder and don’t

forget to increase your sodium chloride

in the form of sea salt because all

those minerals help to establish a

better hydration and decrease the dry

mouth that you may experience on keto

so if you’ve personally benefited from

the information that I put on my videos

I would love to actually see your

success story - I put a link down below

so you can upload your before and after

pictures with your story
