I’ve been preaching this for quite a while now. If I have to post it again, so be it:
One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/HrBJDvPZf2g
I’ve found that once I increased my salt intake (along with my water intake) my brain fog, dizziness, exhaustion, and pee went away.
Electrolytes, it’s what plants crave!
Your “pee went away”?
Okay, slightly exaggerated. More like I stopped peeing as frequently.
Salt causes water retention.
How can you not be getting enough salt?? We don’t need that much and it’s in basically everything
🤷♂️
Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.
~Finest healthcare in the world!~
Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess
yeah, I saw that in an episode of Star Trek.
Mango chili LMNT packet in 40oz of ice water is my go to fav.
FYI they make mango chili Peeps.
LMNT is awesome! Mango chili low key scares me. 😂
Intake water? Like from the toilet?
Electrolytes, what’s that?
(To the tune of mxpx’s “responsibility, what’s that?”)

Woah, that takes me back
Me before drinking lots of water: depressed
Me after drinking lots of water: depressed, but hydrated
Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you and you will resent its absence.
You should know that almost 100% of people who have started taking dihydrogen monoxide have died and the rest are expected to die.
TIL resentment and chronic migraines are the same thing
- At best, if it as as good as it’s said, it helps your liver, kidneys and bladder by getting rid of noxious substances faster and at lower concentration levels.
- As worst, if it has no benefits at all, you piss more often.
Unlike most “health” trends out there “drink more water” will be very good in the mid and long term if it works and only mildy inconvenient if it doesn’t, so logically it seems worth trying unless you’re in the kind of situation where taking a piss is somehow dangerous.
IMHO, people going for “convenience today” above all else is behind most of the shitty trends in most present day societies, and I don’t just mean it in health terms.
Instant gratification. Why have thing later? Want thing now. Give thing now. Why wait for later?
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
my dude, i agree, but you’ve been doing that for what, three years? that doesn’t really seem healthy.
It’s literally on my clipboard. Zero effort. Sentiment is still the same.
Someone posts a screenshot of something they saw that they liked from reddit and your response is to shout at the top of your lungs (or as close as this platform lets you get to that) “fuck spez”. It’s not about effort, it’s about intent and focus.
Like, I’m glad you have a hobby, but would you be open to discussing other things? I really like cooking. I’ll talk about food with pretty much anyone. What was in the best enchilada you ever had?
No. I don’t cook. I eat out. It’s delicious. Multiple choices of style. Supports locally owned restaurants.
I will continue my large font comments against that other site.
You post so many comments like that, sounds like you miss your ex and can’t get over 🥀
I think with a lot of these health trends, it doesn’t take account for the fact that humans are animals.
Animals can’t always guarantee they’ll get enough water, or enough food, or the right kinds of food. Bodies aren’t like a machine that requires specifically calibrated amounts of inputs. Instead if you drink too much you’ll pee out more. If you drink too little your pee will be more concentrated so your body retains more liquid. If you get more nutrients than you need, the extra will be eliminated.
It’s probably true that with many things (except calories) it’s better to get a bit too much rather than too little. Maybe it’s true that for water it’s better to get nearly the maximum rather than slightly more than the midpoint amount. But, it seems unlikely to me.
This has always interested me, especially when I’ve read here and there that issues such as obesity is much more accurate as being a diet problem rather than an exercise problem. Not that the latter doesn’t help at all, certainly.
Yeah it’s a lot easier to eat less calories than it is to burn off that many. 100 calories is like a bag of crisps or so (depends on what) but 100 calories is also about 10 minutes of running which is a lot more work than just eating less. Not that you shouldn’t run but if you’re trying to lose weight it has a much bigger impact to stay at a calorie deficit.
“You know what’s smarter than a brain? 2 million nephrons.”
Yeah, it’s over hyped.
… Do you guys not enjoy a good piss?
See the trick is you gotta combine that with eating more fiber!
Then your will piss more and you will poop better.
But, but, it’s 3am and I just drank 40 beers in Tijuana. It must be a water related issue.
Look up hyponatremia
Less brain fog cause your brain is swollen.
If ur constantly peeing ur probably drinking too much water. This is one of those things you don’t really notice when you’re doing it right, but it will drag you down if you are constantly dehydrated.
