Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is a disruptor's podcast. Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcasts
- 0:08Speaker 1: dedicated to revealing the profound connections between body, mind, and spirit,
- 0:12Speaker 1: where we believe that true wellness arises from addressing the
- 0:15Speaker 1: root causes of our health challenges, not just masking the symptoms.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Here we dive deep into how holistic approaches such as
- 0:21Speaker 1: advanced chiropractic care, personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can
- 0:26Speaker 1: transform your life. Now here is doctor Troy.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. Water isn't it wonderful?
- 0:43Speaker 2: Sometimes it tastes so good? And yet I know people
- 0:46Speaker 2: that are like, I can't stand the taste of water. Now,
- 0:50Speaker 2: it's interesting because I'm a bit sensitive to tastes of water.
- 0:53Speaker 2: There's certain water that I'm like, I cannot stand drinking that,
- 0:57Speaker 2: and others I'm just like, ah, this water is so amazing. Now,
- 1:01Speaker 2: for some of you, let's say that you do not
- 1:03Speaker 2: like the taste of water at all. You may want
- 1:05Speaker 2: to add just a slight amount or a pinch of
- 1:07Speaker 2: sea salt. You may even want to get just the
- 1:10Speaker 2: slightest amount of potassium bicarbonate and just do a pinch
- 1:15Speaker 2: in the water and you might find, hey, I actually
- 1:18Speaker 2: really like that. And so there may be reasons why
- 1:21Speaker 2: your body is resistant to water, because it may be thinking,
- 1:26Speaker 2: I really don't want you to continue to dilute what
- 1:28Speaker 2: little I have in my body. And so if you
- 1:31Speaker 2: find yourself there, you might think, huh, I wonder if
- 1:34Speaker 2: that's why I don't drink that much water. And most
- 1:38Speaker 2: people they try to drink so much water because they're
- 1:40Speaker 2: kind of freaked out that they hear, hey, if you
- 1:43Speaker 2: use water, if you drink water, and you drink enough water,
- 1:47Speaker 2: you'll be healthy and you will get sick. Well, I suppose.
- 1:52Speaker 2: And so here are the few things that water really
- 1:55Speaker 2: does for us. Water is the primary, for lack of
- 2:00Speaker 2: a better word, medium to transport nutrients of all kinds,
- 2:04Speaker 2: even oxygen. So to oxygenate our cells, we need water.
- 2:10Speaker 2: We also need to remove debris, and that's a job
- 2:14Speaker 2: of water as well. Now what's interesting is water actually
- 2:19Speaker 2: makes the shape of our organs. So the interstitial fluid,
- 2:24Speaker 2: or rather that space around the cells is supposed to
- 2:27Speaker 2: be a watery matrix, not sludgie. And I've talked in
- 2:31Speaker 2: other podcasts that if you're lacking vitamin C and vitamin E,
- 2:34Speaker 2: you'll tend to solidify those spaces around your cells called
- 2:40Speaker 2: that interstitial fluid or the cellular matrix that all cells
- 2:44Speaker 2: kind of sit in, and so that water becomes important,
- 2:47Speaker 2: even in the form of organs. Now, last, most of
- 2:51Speaker 2: us probably recognize that, hey, temperature regulation is definitely water related.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So thus some of the podcast that I've talked about
- 3:01Speaker 2: where we talk about fevers and that fevers are okay,
- 3:04Speaker 2: and even the medical profession has said that fevers up
- 3:09Speaker 2: to one hundred and eight degrees are fine, and the
- 3:12Speaker 2: caveat here is as long as you're hydrated. So we'll
- 3:18Speaker 2: see spikes of fever up that high. Though in an
- 3:22Speaker 2: ideal situation where somebody has enough minerals in their body,
- 3:26Speaker 2: especially calcium, they'll find that one hundred and eight fever
- 3:30Speaker 2: is an incredibly rare situation if ever, and so our
- 3:35Speaker 2: body is literally trying to help liberate calcium from bones
- 3:40Speaker 2: and tissue by a fever. Typically, that's how we see it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And how do I know this is because when I
- 3:47Speaker 2: have a child or an adult with a fever, I
- 3:50Speaker 2: can adjust them, and I'll often see fevers go away
- 3:54Speaker 2: with a chiropractic adjustment within just a few minutes to
- 3:57Speaker 2: ten minutes. But I can do the same thing with
- 4:00Speaker 2: calcium typically, and we'll watch that this fever will break.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Now as somebody who likes things to go faster, just
- 4:08Speaker 2: like the vast majority of us, Hey, can we get
- 4:10Speaker 2: this done quicker? Absolutely, getting adjusted and taking calcium, and
- 4:16Speaker 2: you know, some immune things would probably be wise when
- 4:20Speaker 2: trying to get over some infection. I'm going to use
- 4:23Speaker 2: everything at my disposal to help the body work as
- 4:26Speaker 2: fast and efficiently and as quickly as possible. So just
- 4:31Speaker 2: a tidbit for you out there, if you're like, hey,
- 4:33Speaker 2: I'll put that kind of in the back of my
- 4:35Speaker 2: mind for the next time I get, oh, whatever kind
- 4:39Speaker 2: of cold or flu. So this is water in its makeup.
- 4:44Speaker 2: If you're a lean adult, meaning you don't have a
- 4:48Speaker 2: lot of excess fat, you're about seventy three percent water.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Now that range is literally from seventy five to fifty percent.
- 4:58Speaker 2: So a baby is like seventy five percent water. An
- 5:02Speaker 2: elderly person that maybe you know, not necessarily taking care
- 5:07Speaker 2: of themselves too much, they might be fifty percent water.
- 5:10Speaker 2: But ultimately we should be right around that sixty five
- 5:14Speaker 2: percent in men and sixty percent in women. Women tend
- 5:18Speaker 2: to hold a little bit more fat for on their bodies,
- 5:21Speaker 2: and for specific reasons. They do that for birth, for nursing,
- 5:26Speaker 2: for just overall how a woman's body is. That's what
- 5:31Speaker 2: you do. You carry a little bit more fat than men,
- 5:34Speaker 2: and that's just the way it is, and it's not
- 5:36Speaker 2: a bad thing. In fact, it's a very good thing. Now,
- 5:40Speaker 2: on some my past podcasts, I've talked about minerals concentrate water.
- 5:47Speaker 2: So if you find yourself always thirsty, you may want
- 5:50Speaker 2: to increase your mineral content, at least supplementally or in
- 5:55Speaker 2: the foods that you eat. So where would minerals be. Well,
- 5:59Speaker 2: a lot of fresh vegetables that you know are grown
- 6:02Speaker 2: in good soil, they're gonna have a decent mineral compliment.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Raw honey, raw besider, vinegar, liver, nutritional yeast, kelp, and alfalfa.
- 6:14Speaker 2: These are all things that are excellent mineral sources, even
- 6:18Speaker 2: blackstrap molasses. I think I've told the story before, but
- 6:21Speaker 2: when I was little, we had rabbits and I would
- 6:25Speaker 2: sneak out to the rabbit pin and I would eat
- 6:29Speaker 2: their alfalfa pellets their food, and my parents thought how strange.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Of course, nobody knew that I was, you know, tremendously
- 6:39Speaker 2: deficient in minerals, and I was like, this is the
- 6:43Speaker 2: best thing I've ever eaten. So it you know, if
- 6:48Speaker 2: you've got that kind of experience, you might be like, yeah,
- 6:51Speaker 2: maybe mineral deficient too. I used to like to eat whatever.
- 6:56Speaker 2: And what's weird is lead paint. That were so fearful
- 7:00Speaker 2: of that a child might eat lead paint. Lead and
- 7:05Speaker 2: calcium tend to go hand in hand. They actually inhibit
- 7:10Speaker 2: each other, they bond to each other, and so it's
- 7:13Speaker 2: really fascinating that we would crave something like the smelling
- 7:18Speaker 2: of paint and want to eat paint chips. But there
- 7:21Speaker 2: is a physiologic reason. And so just another fyi for you, Now,
- 7:27Speaker 2: how much water a day just on average? This is
- 7:31Speaker 2: a topic that anybody who has any kind of opinion
- 7:34Speaker 2: on water, I'm sure has given their opinion. But rather
- 7:37Speaker 2: than give an opinion, we like to give ranges. Obviously,
- 7:42Speaker 2: bigger people need more water, Smaller people need less water.
- 7:46Speaker 2: People that are mineral deficient, they will crave water because
- 7:50Speaker 2: they cannot hold on to it, and therefore they will
- 7:53Speaker 2: drink more, but they will also be washing away more
- 7:56Speaker 2: electrolytes in doing so. So, yes, you probably need to
- 8:00Speaker 2: drink the water because you are not holding it or
- 8:02Speaker 2: concentrating it, but you definitely need to get the trace
- 8:06Speaker 2: minerals in. So those that have plenty of trace minerals
- 8:09Speaker 2: and have a diet that's rather complete will find that
- 8:12Speaker 2: they drink less. Those that are drinking coffee in their
- 8:16Speaker 2: form of water, good luck to you. However, you will
- 8:20Speaker 2: find at least that you may want to drink a
- 8:23Speaker 2: glass of water before you do said cup or cups
- 8:27Speaker 2: of coffee, as coffee literally inhibits the absorption of water
- 8:32Speaker 2: rather caffeine does that. And so if you're drinking a
- 8:35Speaker 2: decalf okay, fine, you may find that you still drink
- 8:38Speaker 2: a decent amount of water. Great. So, those that are
- 8:42Speaker 2: working out a ton, you're going to drink more water.
- 8:45Speaker 2: That's just obvious. I would least hope it is those
- 8:49Speaker 2: that are in a very hot climate that are trying
- 8:51Speaker 2: to regulate body temperature a little bit better, you will
- 8:53Speaker 2: find that you'll be drinking more water. Those that have
- 8:56Speaker 2: a physical job, you'll be drinking more water. Those that
- 8:59Speaker 2: have a p easy time and a fairly regulated temperature,
- 9:03Speaker 2: you won't be drinking much water. And if you have
- 9:06Speaker 2: a great mineral balance and you don't do much, you
- 9:08Speaker 2: may not be drinking hardly any water at all. And
- 9:11Speaker 2: so it just depends should we go for sixty four
- 9:13Speaker 2: ounces a day like I've recommended. I suppose that's not
- 9:17Speaker 2: a bad thing. We still need to detox and water
- 9:20Speaker 2: definitely helps us detoxify. We need to get nutrients into
- 9:24Speaker 2: the body. So some of the foods that we eat
- 9:25Speaker 2: will have a decent amount of water in them. Let's
- 9:28Speaker 2: say you're eating hikima and it's fresh, and it's like
- 9:31Speaker 2: so juicy and rich, and they're heavy. If you ever
- 9:35Speaker 2: held a you know, fresh hikima, it's like, my gosh,
- 9:39Speaker 2: this is like a heavy root and when you bite
- 9:42Speaker 2: into it, it's like so delicious. And so it just
- 9:46Speaker 2: depends on what your diet is of how much water
- 9:48Speaker 2: that you'll actually need. So I hope that kind of
- 9:50Speaker 2: gives at least some idea of what should I be
- 9:54Speaker 2: doing water wise, and how do I know I need it,
- 9:56Speaker 2: and what does water do for me? And how can
- 9:59Speaker 2: I just be healthier all the way around. It will
- 10:02Speaker 2: do a lot for you. Hope that was helpful. Until
- 10:04Speaker 2: next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is way
- 10:07Speaker 2: more right with you than there is wrong with you.
