You are 60% water. Well, maybe your body is 60% water, but most Americans are drinking something that looks like water, but it's acting more like a slow poison. You could call it dead water. And it's hiding in your tap. Your expensive bottled water, even purified water. And it's dead because it has no minerals. And those are the minerals that are supposed to be in your water. And they keep your heart beating. They keep your brain firing and your energy levels stable. This isn't about making water work with some magic fairy wand. It's about having minerals that nature originally put in the water. And. And this lack of minerals is why you can drink water all day and still feel drained and foggy and on edge. And if you drink more water, it doesn't help. And until you understand the difference between dead water and mineralized water, you'll spend your life slowly dehydrating your cells. And it'll aid your body with every single sip. And today I'm going to show you how to tell if your water is dead and lacking minerals, why it's destroying your hydration, and exactly what to drink instead. To keep your brain sharp, keep your energy working and your cells at full charge. Most of what you know about hydration is absolutely wrong. And I know this because I've measured more than 5,000 people's hydration with medical grade technology at my company, Upgrade Labs. This is real data. And so many people are dehydrated even though they drink a lot of dead water. And people have told you your whole life, just drink more water, eight glasses a day. Or even worse, drink a gallon of water a day on 75 hard. That is not a good plan. And that rule wasn't born in a medical lab. It was born in marketing. It's one of the biggest hydration mistakes that you can see everywhere. Your brain's about 75% water, and your blood is 80% water. Even your bones, the hardest tissue in your body, are still 30% water. Every single chemical reaction in your body takes place in water. Without enough of it, you get slow metabolism, you get a weak immune system, and your thinking just isn't very strong. If you dehydrate your cells by just 1 to 2%, studies show that your mood will drop, your memory becomes worse, and your energy tanks. If you go without water for three days, your organs could even start to shut down, unless you're doing a certain kind of fast. And that's why water has always been the first prescription for wellness. It's why every health magazine runs the same headline at least once a year. Drink more water. Nobody actually knows how Americans started to believe that we need to drink eight glasses of water a day. But what we do know is that companies like Nestle and Pepsi and Coca Cola made billions and probably soon even trillions of dollars from that myth. And the closest origin story we have is from 1945, when the US Food and Nutrition Board recommended people consume two and a half liters of water per day. But they also said in small letters that most of that water comes from food, like fruits and vegetables and soup, even coffee and tea. And somewhere along the line, the second half just vanished. And by the time it filtered through magazines and TV segments and wellness blogs, it's been boiled down to a neat, catchy command. Eight glasses a day, and catchy is all the media needed. And while the media started selling that myth, bottled water companies were drinking it up and just manipulating Americans to buy water from them instead of drinking eight glasses from their kitchen tap. And during that time, Perrier sold sparkling water like it was luxury champagne. Nestle saw something bigger, a commodity that they could extract and package and sell at huge margins. And by the late 90s and early aughts, Nestle owned some of the biggest bottled water brands in America, like Poland Spring, Pure Life, Arrowhead, Deer Park, Ice Mountain, and Zephyr Hills. They weren't even pulling water from pristine mountain springs for every bottle. A lot of it came from municipal tap and underground sources. And they had rights to pump this for pennies per gallon. Coke and Pepsi also jumped in with Aquafina and Dasani. And all those brands didn't just want you drinking water, they wanted you drinking their water. And if people trusted tap water, bottled water wouldn't sell. So ad campaigns started hinting that tap Water wasn't pure enough that you needed more water than ever. And that pure meant healthy. And they were kind of right, because tap water is really terrible. But what they didn't mention was that pure also means devoid of minerals. That water was mineral free, which means the water they sold to Americans didn't contain the electrolytes your body needs to actually use the water you drink. And that marketing worked between 1990 and 2010, when bottled water sales in the US quadrupled. And today it's the number one packaged beverage in America. It even outsells soda. You might be thinking, okay, fine, Dave, I'll just drink tap water. But the same municipal treatment processes that make tap water safe also make it nutritionally empty and full of some toxins. Chlorination, fluoridation, and aggressive filtration. They don't just strip out contaminants, but they strip out the natural minerals that your cells depend on. Oh, and they leave birth control pill residue and antibiotic residue and all the other reasons we don't really want tap water without a really good filter. That's a different video. What's left in this bottled water and in tap water is technically safe to drink, but biologically incomplete. And it still contains contaminants like pharmaceuticals and microplastics, pesticides, all sorts of things you really don't want in your body. So we're left with bottled water that's often mineral free by design, it's sold as pure. And tap water that is mineral free is stripped for safety. But that's why it doesn't matter if you're refilling from a plastic bottle or from your kitchen faucet. You're still not getting your minerals. You're drinking water that can't hydrate you at this cellular level. When you drink this dead water, instead of hydrating, you end up flushing sodium out of your body and diluting your blood's electrolyte. Balance your kidneys. Find this water with no minerals and say, wait, inside my cells, there's a lot of minerals. Outside my cells, there's this water. If I want to bring the water in, I have to lose my minerals. So the body says, get rid of the water. It's not useful, so you have to pee. You run to the bathroom, your pee is clear, and you're still dehydrated at the cellular level. That's how it actually works. That's why people are constantly sipping plain dead water. Even expensive bottled plain dead water often feel bloated, foggy, even lightheaded. And it happened to me, these are symptoms of dilutional hyponatremia. And this is a dangerous condition where your sodium levels drop too low and do not do this. But if you were to drink two liters of just plain bottled water on an empty stomach, watch how your brain changes. What will happen is you'll feel really, really unwell and kind of zoomy and foggy. That's because you just created this condition. You don't want to feel that way. This is why every year, a few people die doing marathons, because they drink dead water with no minerals, and they actually die of hyponatremia. So if you want real hydration, hydration that charges your brain, keeps your energy high. You focus on electrolyte balance, because water alone just isn't enough. Your cells need sodium to pull water inside. When I said your body was 60% water, I kind of lied. Your body is 60% salt water. And that's why if you just drink water with no minerals, no electrolytes, it just imbalances you. Your cells need potassium to keep your electrical system stable, and your cells need magnesium to power more than 300 biochemical reactions, including the very way you make energy. And without those minerals, water just goes right through you. So here's what I want you to do, step by step. Number one, filter your water. You need to get rid of chlorine, fluoride, and industrial contaminants. And you want to choose filters that keep minerals or allow you to add them back, like a reverse osmosis setup with a remineralizer. Second, start your morning with what you could call mineral water. It's really just between a quarter and a full teaspoon of high quality sea salt or desert salt to to 12 ounces of water. And that's going to give your body sodium and trace minerals right when your body needs the most. Those people feel a rush of energy within 15 minutes of drinking that.
