00:00:34.591 --> 00:00:35.881
Hi everyone.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.853
Today our topic is understanding hydration, and I am here with Dorsha Hart.

00:00:41.853 --> 00:00:44.487
I'm going to read her bio and then we'll get right into it.

00:00:44.487 --> 00:00:52.932
Dorsha is a pharmacist with a nutritional interest and she wants to share her knowledge on health and what she discovered about hydration and losing weight.

00:00:52.932 --> 00:00:58.143
She believes in good hydrating water, good nutrition and when you add a little movement, you have a healthy star.

00:00:58.143 --> 00:01:04.965
She does her own gardening, loves outdoor activities and helping people improve their health through better choices.

00:01:04.965 --> 00:01:12.808
She wants to bring awareness that your body can heal itself if you put the right things inside your body and remove the bad things.

00:01:12.808 --> 00:01:15.246
Welcome, Dorsha, thanks for coming on the show today.

00:01:15.507 --> 00:01:15.868
Thank you.

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.608
I would love to know from you what hydration means to you.

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.831
There are three things your body lives for, and that's oxygen, water and nutrition.

00:01:24.831 --> 00:01:27.849
If you don't have all three, you can actually die.

00:01:27.849 --> 00:01:31.890
Of course, oxygen you only have minutes to get oxygen in there.

00:01:31.890 --> 00:01:37.739
Water you might have about three days before you kill over, and then food you have weeks.

00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:39.525
It depends on what you're putting in your body.

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:46.933
Hydration means to me, and why water is so important is because our bodies are 70% water.

00:01:46.933 --> 00:01:53.352
We live in an environment that is 70% water the oceans and the earth so it's 70% water.

00:01:53.352 --> 00:01:58.069
Other organisms that live on the earth they're up to 90% water.

00:01:58.069 --> 00:02:01.085
Why wouldn't water be important to us?

00:02:01.085 --> 00:02:02.650
Because we're 70% water.

00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:05.248
We eat more than what we drink.

00:02:05.248 --> 00:02:13.288
We should really be drinking 70% and eating less, maybe 30%, but we hardly put any water in our body at all.

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.950
When you think about the water in our body, what is the water doing for us?

00:02:17.950 --> 00:02:26.766
For the water, it brings the nutrients to life, to every cell in our body, and we're building cells every single day.

00:02:26.766 --> 00:02:31.069
We need water to do those processes in our body.

00:02:31.069 --> 00:02:37.605
It also regulates our internal temperature by sweating and perspiration.

00:02:37.605 --> 00:02:38.909
It cools us off.

00:02:38.909 --> 00:02:41.063
I remember I was a little girl.

00:02:41.063 --> 00:02:44.423
I never used to sweat, because girls, oh, we don't sweat, we perspire.

00:02:44.423 --> 00:02:46.223
Sweating is important.

00:02:46.223 --> 00:02:51.330
Really, I didn't realize as a young woman I was dehydrated, I didn't sweat.

00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:52.905
I thought that was a normal thing.

00:02:52.905 --> 00:02:58.731
So you don't really know you're dehydrated until you find out later in life as you let it go on.

00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.864
Other things water is good for is that it brings your sugars, your carbohydrates and proteins to your body.

00:03:04.864 --> 00:03:06.209
It's a food source.

00:03:06.209 --> 00:03:13.888
But your whole body, all the way from your head to your toes, you need nutrition, and it's brought by water that's in your bloodstream.

00:03:13.888 --> 00:03:20.926
So if you don't have enough water in your bloodstream, it can't supply all the nutrients and water that your cells need.

00:03:20.926 --> 00:03:25.310
It also assists in flushing waste by urination.

00:03:25.310 --> 00:03:28.628
So if you're not drinking enough water, it can't flush out the toxins.

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:34.132
It acts as a natural shock absorbent in your brain and your spinal cord.

00:03:34.132 --> 00:03:41.025
Your brain is actually sitting in water, so as you move, your brain is hitting your skull and so it's a protective measure.

00:03:41.025 --> 00:03:46.784
So if you don't have enough water, your brain will actually hit the insides of your skull and that will damage your brain.

00:03:46.784 --> 00:03:49.527
It also forms a saliva out of your mouth.

00:03:49.527 --> 00:03:56.699
So if you have dry mouth, you may be dehydrated or you might have dry lips and that might be a form of dehydration.

00:03:56.699 --> 00:03:58.507
It also lubricates your joints.

00:03:58.507 --> 00:04:03.151
So if your joints don't have any liquid in them, then they rub and then people have joint pains.

00:04:03.151 --> 00:04:12.149
So a lot of it is based on what you put in your body to help regulate, to help manage, to help balance your body, basically.

00:04:12.570 --> 00:04:23.363
So I have a follow-up question as you're talking about that, because there's always that theory that you should drink half your body weight, or, and so what is the right amount of water to drink?

00:04:23.363 --> 00:04:29.454
Because I don't know if is that correct, that a whole idea of drinking half your body weight, or is it another formula?

00:04:29.896 --> 00:04:31.841
Basically the general rule.

00:04:31.841 --> 00:04:42.130
For an average person weighing about 140 pounds, they recommend eight glasses a day of eight ounces of glasses a day, so that's eight glasses.

00:04:42.130 --> 00:04:45.478
You can look at it like half your body weight in ounces.

00:04:45.478 --> 00:04:50.302
So if you calculate that, you will find that it is roughly about seven or eight glasses.

00:04:50.302 --> 00:04:56.225
The reason why they say half your body weight because if you're overweight you won't want to drink that much water.

00:04:56.225 --> 00:05:03.853
So you would want to look at a formula that looks at your lean body weight and then that you can calculate it more correctly of how much water you need.

00:05:04.074 --> 00:05:07.911
Yeah, and that makes sense, because that is an awful lot of water if you're overweight.

00:05:07.911 --> 00:05:08.834
So for you.

00:05:08.834 --> 00:05:11.019
How did they, how did you start on this journey?

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:15.699
Or why is it so important for you to make sure people understand hydration?

00:05:16.242 --> 00:05:32.500
Even though I'm a pharmacist and I went to school and you learned about the body and everything, I had some health challenges myself and working in the pharmacy behind a computer, sitting at a desk typing, I developed a carpal tunnel in my arm.

00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:38.369
I got a pinched nerve in my neck where my whole hand went blue, and went to the emergency room.

00:05:38.369 --> 00:05:39.552
I didn't know what was going on.

00:05:39.552 --> 00:05:44.531
I also had a frozen shoulder where I couldn't lift my arm more than just straight off.

00:05:44.531 --> 00:05:45.637
I couldn't lift it over my head.

00:05:45.637 --> 00:05:49.588
But, doctor, you know how they look at your symptoms and they treat your symptoms.

00:05:49.588 --> 00:05:54.713
So they give you pain medication, so them pain medication, and that didn't work.

00:05:54.713 --> 00:06:09.057
And so then they started giving me steroid shots to decrease the inflammation, because a lot of it, when you're dehydrated, your body reacts to a situation and then they send all their little helper cells to fight and help you out.

00:06:09.057 --> 00:06:11.024
But it gets inflammation in there.

00:06:11.024 --> 00:06:17.639
So acute inflammation is fine if you have an injury, but long-term inflammation can do damage to your body.

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.473
So my body was on overload, so it was trying to help everything by putting inflammation in there and that was causing a problem.

00:06:24.473 --> 00:06:27.887
So things that the doctor was giving me didn't really help.

00:06:27.887 --> 00:06:34.571
So they were thinking about doing surgery, and so I didn't want to really do surgery and so I just happened to run into this water.

00:06:34.571 --> 00:06:35.973
It's a special water.

00:06:35.973 --> 00:06:52.930
It's not something that you would buy in the store, but when I started drinking it, it got rid of the inflammation, and that took two weeks after I started drinking it and I got rid of the inflammation, and I think that's all most of the diseases are is due to inflammation.

00:06:52.930 --> 00:07:01.958
It causes diseases when you're dehydrated or you get inflammation in those areas that are things that you really need the water to be in drinking.

00:07:01.958 --> 00:07:23.353
The water got rid of it, and so at that point I was able to get rid of my health challenges, along with 19 other health challenges, and so I thought, wow, this is really helpful, maybe I can help someone else, and so that's when I began to give water out so people can try and see if it helps them with their problem, and and it did help people with their diabetes.

00:07:23.394 --> 00:07:39.488
If you look at it, your blood is very concentrated if you're dehydrated, and when you go to the lab and they take a sample of your blood the concentration they look at the concentration and then they determine whether you have a high sugar level or any other labs that they take.

00:07:39.488 --> 00:07:48.355
If it has higher potassium or higher or anything that's abnormal, they look at it based on the concentration and the water concentration in your blood.

00:07:48.355 --> 00:07:54.237
So when you're dehydrated, of course all that stuff looks high and they think that you have these problems.

00:07:54.237 --> 00:07:59.877
So when I started drinking this water, all my values, all my labs, became normal.

00:07:59.877 --> 00:08:09.475
I was pre-diabetic also, and my doctor threatened to put me on medication and I said oh no, I'm going to look at my diet and try to figure that out and do something.

00:08:09.975 --> 00:08:12.730
Eat right, drink right or do exercise.

00:08:12.730 --> 00:08:17.149
So those are the three things that I found that really do help with your body.

00:08:17.149 --> 00:08:21.266
You can change your health around by eating right, drinking and getting a little movement.

00:08:21.266 --> 00:08:23.511
You don't have to overdo it with exercise.

00:08:23.511 --> 00:08:33.912
You just need to move it, because you have a fluid, another fluid in your body besides your blood is pumped by your heart and the lymphatic fluid, which is your clear fluid in your body.

00:08:33.912 --> 00:08:42.000
It helps remove the waste from your bloodstream and out, and if you don't move, that fluid won't be able to do its functions.

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:46.278
So a little movement is good so that you can get some of that waste out of your body.

00:08:46.479 --> 00:08:47.241
That's interesting.

00:08:47.241 --> 00:08:49.452
I was watching something and they were talking about.

00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:51.623
As kids, we all used to go to the water fountain.

00:08:51.623 --> 00:09:01.220
It was like the big deal to get water from and it was fun and you expected to do that because we all wanted to go, stand in the water fountain line for six hours and not be in class.

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:14.803
But that changes as adults and that people go away from drinking water and we I've done mission work in other countries and the other thing that I want to say is that water is more expensive in in lavish countries.

00:09:14.803 --> 00:09:33.883
The amount of soda that they drink in a lavish country is incredible because it's cheaper and cleaner than the water sources, and I think we do a disservice when we don't talk about those things, saying water really needs to be a resource for everybody, but B that it really does.

00:09:33.883 --> 00:09:38.682
It's like we put all of re-ingest, all of this other stuff, and it's not healthy for us at all.

00:09:38.962 --> 00:09:41.490
Tap water used to be the best water you could drink.

00:09:41.490 --> 00:09:42.873
We drank it out of the hose.

00:09:42.873 --> 00:09:51.990
We're running and playing outside, but now the factories, they're dumping stuff in the groundwater and now our tap water is contaminated and you know the water company.

00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:53.155
They try to clean it up.

00:09:53.155 --> 00:09:58.316
They put chemicals in it, so now it has chlorine in it and other stuff, lye and everything.

00:09:58.316 --> 00:10:02.707
So it's like you can't even drink the tap water anymore, let alone bath in it.

00:10:02.707 --> 00:10:08.890
You know, because your skin is the biggest organ in your body and it'll absorb everything that's in the tap water.

00:10:08.890 --> 00:10:10.745
So our tap water is bad.

00:10:10.806 --> 00:10:12.734
That's why people went to bottled water.

00:10:12.734 --> 00:10:14.863
They didn't even think about the bottle water.

00:10:14.863 --> 00:10:16.913
They didn't even think how did they make the bottled water?

00:10:16.913 --> 00:10:29.466
So when you look at the factories I looked at these factories and it shows videos and how they make it and the bottle is coming down the thing and it heats it up with these hot water and so that water is pulling out the plastic into the bottle.

00:10:29.466 --> 00:10:36.187
So now you're drinking plastics and then okay, so then when they filtering the water, they're using reverse osmosis.

00:10:36.187 --> 00:10:38.600
So now you're getting water that doesn't have any minerals.

00:10:38.881 --> 00:10:42.980
Your tap water was better than the bottled water, but because it has the chemicals it's not.

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:49.393
So then the alternative is to drink water that is not sitting in bottles all day.

00:10:49.393 --> 00:10:58.125
Drink water that is clean better clean for you, so we don't have to have all those chemicals in it and it's just natural, clean water.

00:10:58.125 --> 00:10:59.347
No chemicals are added.

00:10:59.347 --> 00:11:00.971
So this is the water that I drink.

00:11:00.971 --> 00:11:10.366
It's electrified and it makes the water, of course, antioxidant and alkaline, and so, as water is naturally alkaline, it's getting back to nature, basically.

00:11:10.768 --> 00:11:11.490
I agree with that.

00:11:11.490 --> 00:11:14.423
I had gone out to Arizona.

00:11:14.423 --> 00:11:17.434
I had a coach mentor and she had actually had breast cancer.

00:11:17.434 --> 00:11:25.990
She had just moved to Arizona and found out that we went out to help her with the treatment and actually it was one of the rare times I've ever drank water from a spring.

00:11:26.071 --> 00:11:26.793
In Sedona.

00:11:26.793 --> 00:11:35.807
Many of the people know where this one spring is and it's the only place you can bring a jug that it's still pure, but it's still that it comes from the spring.

00:11:35.807 --> 00:11:39.865
And actually my son was so cute because I got to take him out of school to go help her for two weeks.

00:11:39.865 --> 00:11:40.649
He was only eight.

00:11:40.649 --> 00:11:46.816
Then he had to come back and give a report on his trip and he brought back the water and he's drank this, this water cure.

00:11:46.816 --> 00:11:48.403
It was like the cutest thing.

00:11:48.442 --> 00:11:52.500
But everybody from that area knew, because most people didn't drink water.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:12:02.996
They actually would go to the spring because it's so hard to find water that's alkaline water that's not contaminated or bottled or and they would bring their own jugs and get it.

00:12:02.996 --> 00:12:05.225
So there are resources in the US.

00:12:05.225 --> 00:12:07.933
It's just very hard and scarce to find.

00:12:07.933 --> 00:12:19.520
So, as we're talking about this, what are some of the warning signs for a female entrepreneur, that they're not hydrated enough, because, as we get business as female entrepreneurs, we get to take care of ourselves during the day.

00:12:19.520 --> 00:12:20.903
Water goes out the window.

00:12:20.903 --> 00:12:24.932
So what are some of those signs that they may be feeling?

00:12:24.932 --> 00:12:25.821
So you may?

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:39.303
not feel the thirstiness, but you might see some signs on your skin and you might see signs like dry skin, dry lips that might be the first thing or dry patches on your skin or on your backside.

00:12:39.303 --> 00:12:41.111
You might say, oh, what's that little patch there?

00:12:41.111 --> 00:12:43.361
Or you might notice that your urine is dark.

00:12:43.361 --> 00:12:44.203
It's darker.

00:12:44.203 --> 00:12:54.120
It should be like a pale yellow, and if it's not that color and it could be some other colors because you're taking vitamins and then you're just pouring them out in your urine.

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.953
So you need to eat more natural foods that will absorb better.

00:12:57.953 --> 00:13:00.042
So there's a lot of things about vitamins.

00:13:00.042 --> 00:13:01.166
That's a whole other topic.

00:13:01.166 --> 00:13:06.203
But if you eat naturally, you can absorb the minerals naturally and you're not peeing it all out.

00:13:06.203 --> 00:13:24.149
So your urine and your skin, your breath your breath might have bad breath your hair if your hair is brittle, and there's a lot of the things like that can tell you that something's going wrong and I was actually going to ask you and I don't know if you know the answer or not is frequent bladder infections from not drinking?

00:13:24.169 --> 00:13:24.611
enough water.

00:13:24.611 --> 00:13:25.881
That can be.

00:13:25.881 --> 00:13:28.908
It's also due to what you wear too.

00:13:28.908 --> 00:13:36.431
So if you're not getting enough air down there, things can happen like vaginal infections and also urinary tract infections.

00:13:36.431 --> 00:13:38.523
You got to have a lot of air.

00:13:38.523 --> 00:13:40.648
You got to have water to flush out the toxins.

00:13:41.169 --> 00:13:45.523
And drinking too much sugar is a source for bacteria to live.

00:13:45.523 --> 00:13:52.321
So if you're drinking a lot of sodas and it's peeing out in the year, that's just an environment for bacteria to grow.

00:13:52.321 --> 00:13:54.424
Cut out the soda.

00:13:54.424 --> 00:13:57.169
It's just not that good.

00:13:57.169 --> 00:14:02.731
Besides the carbonation, besides the sugar, when it does have water in it.

00:14:02.731 --> 00:14:05.142
But your body has to convert that to water.

00:14:05.142 --> 00:14:08.394
Just because it has water in it does not mean that it's going to be good.

00:14:08.595 --> 00:14:11.923
The sugar in the thing is high and the carbonation is another problem.

00:14:11.923 --> 00:14:16.861
It makes the water acid, so your body has to convert it and make it alkaline.

00:14:16.861 --> 00:14:25.447
Your whole body is slightly alkaline and so everything that you put in it, it has to neutralize it in order for your body to accept it.

00:14:25.447 --> 00:14:31.517
So if you eat acid foods, acid drinks, your body is releasing your natural minerals that are in your body.

00:14:31.517 --> 00:14:35.611
It takes it from your bones and your muscles to neutralize that water.

00:14:35.611 --> 00:14:39.330
So now you're losing some of the minerals in the water that they're providing for you.

00:14:39.330 --> 00:14:42.760
In those bottles they don't have any minerals at all, so you're losing minerals.

00:14:43.081 --> 00:14:50.145
So if you drink natural water or water from the system that I'm promoting, it leaves the minerals in the water.

00:14:50.145 --> 00:14:56.188
It's naturally alkaline, it's nothing padded into it and you get balanced body.

00:14:56.188 --> 00:15:00.846
So I try to help people balance their body and that's what people need right now to understand.

00:15:00.846 --> 00:15:04.860
Water is something that will balance your body, can heal from it.

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:07.730
Your body is a magnificent machine.

00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:11.984
It will do anything to preserve the brain and your torso.

00:15:11.984 --> 00:15:16.236
If you go out into the snow, you'll lose your hands and your feet before.

00:15:16.236 --> 00:15:18.402
It'll let your body and your brain suffer.

00:15:18.402 --> 00:15:26.307
You can't trick your brain, but it will do whatever it can to survive, and so water is one thing that it really needs to survive.

00:15:26.654 --> 00:15:35.932
My other question for you and I don't know only because I've heard this in the past what is your feeling for drinking water room temperature versus cold?

00:15:35.932 --> 00:15:45.745
I've heard that it's really bad for you to drink water cold, or any drinks cold, and I've heard that it doesn't matter, so I'd love to know your input on that.

00:15:45.966 --> 00:15:57.719
So drinking your water cold is like a shock to your system and so your body, like cringes, it draws up, and so when you put that in your intestines your bowels won't move as well.

00:15:57.719 --> 00:16:02.277
Because then that's why if you drink hot drinks you have a better flow of it.

00:16:02.277 --> 00:16:06.666
But when you drink cold your body is not used to that cold coldness is.

00:16:06.666 --> 00:16:10.259
It wants it to be like 98.6 degrees.

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:19.467
So if you drink room temperature, it's a naturally more to your body temperature and everything will flow out better than drinking just cold drinks.

00:16:19.467 --> 00:16:27.537
It'll actually stop, your muscles will contract rather than being nice and smooth and opening the intestines and letting things out nicely.

00:16:27.857 --> 00:16:33.996
I've heard of that before and actually so, and it's so funny because I don't drink anything that's really cold.

00:16:33.996 --> 00:16:43.410
Usually it has to be horrendously hot for me to drink something cold, but Usually I don't, and part of late because I've heard of that before, in part because I just don't like it.

00:16:43.410 --> 00:16:49.337
Because I do, I feel like it's like eating ice cream once in a while and where you're like, oh my gosh, I got the brain freeze.

00:16:49.337 --> 00:16:52.441
I can get that from drinks to if it's too cold.

00:16:52.865 --> 00:16:57.336
Yeah, I used to drink cold water and I was trying to figure out why am I constipated?

00:16:57.336 --> 00:17:01.565
That was just one of the items why it was constipated, and drinking hot liquids makes you unconstipated.

00:17:01.946 --> 00:17:05.652
That's good for women to know too, because I don't think a lot of people realize that.

00:17:05.652 --> 00:17:06.994
I have one last question.

00:17:06.994 --> 00:17:25.115
So for somebody who prefers to drink anything but water because there are some people who are like that they may drink tea, they may drink seltzer, but they just don't like water Do you have any tips on how to get past that or how to start adding in water to your life?

00:17:25.115 --> 00:17:29.362
Or is it okay to be like if I drink warm water with lemon in it, is that okay?

00:17:29.362 --> 00:17:31.545
Or should we just be drinking straight water?

00:17:32.766 --> 00:17:33.787
Drinking the lemon in it.

00:17:33.787 --> 00:17:34.647
That's acid.

00:17:34.647 --> 00:17:40.394
So that's like changing your water from either neutral to acidic water, so that's not good.

00:17:40.394 --> 00:17:47.461
You can put something else in the water and I know a lot of people have a problem with the taste and that's only because you're used to the sugary drinks.

00:17:47.461 --> 00:17:51.951
But if you just get rid of the sugary drinks, water will begin to taste better for you.

00:17:51.951 --> 00:17:58.880
But you can put other things like other fruits in there strawberries, cucumbers, you know that might work for you.

00:17:59.744 --> 00:18:05.752
Herbal teas is fine too, but when you start putting a whole bunch of sugar in there, your body has to process it.

00:18:05.752 --> 00:18:08.135
So you're again waiting for your body to process it.

00:18:08.135 --> 00:18:12.948
You're not getting that immediate hydration from the water, and it's a learning process.

00:18:12.948 --> 00:18:21.565
You have to be able to manage how much water you're drinking, because your body is losing water just as you're speaking and you just need to measure it.

00:18:21.565 --> 00:18:35.336
I drink like three glasses of water in the morning, just as I get up and before breakfast, and I drink three before lunch and three before dinner, and so I get nine glasses in a day and you'll notice such a difference.

00:18:35.336 --> 00:18:40.946
Your skin will be different, your hair will be different, your bowels will be different.

00:18:40.946 --> 00:18:45.992
It's just your body works better with water and what's important to people.

00:18:45.992 --> 00:18:47.233
Try to understand.

00:18:47.233 --> 00:18:51.278
That's why I'm go through what your body does with the water to understand.

00:18:51.278 --> 00:18:54.402
It's so important to get the water in so that your whole body will work.

00:18:54.402 --> 00:18:55.709
Think of it as my medicine.

00:18:55.709 --> 00:18:57.253
You got to get it in for your body.

00:18:57.724 --> 00:19:00.550
I know that you have an offer for our audience.

00:19:00.550 --> 00:19:04.338
