Hi, it's Dr Sam Robbins,
I recently did a video entitled, “when drinking water is BAD for your health” and I’ll
give you that link to watch that video in a couple of minutes
Today’s video I’ll give you 3 specific times you must drink water, to improve your
health, fitness and longevity. So you can improve how you look - such as your skin…
How you feel - such as your energy levels, blood sugar, blood pressure and reduce pain
and inflammation… And simply perform better all day long.
So let’s get right to it.
#1 Best Time
The very best time to drink water is first thing in the morning.
When you wake up, your body is dehydrated and fairly acidic. We want to quickly reverse
that, so you’ll have more energy, your skin is hydrated and we can alkalize your body
because being acidic is one of the primary causes of illness.
Sadly, most people screw this up by drinking coffee in the morning or some energy drink,
which actually makes this situation worst.
By drinking anything with caffeine, you’re making your body more dehydrated, more acidic
and you’re increasing your cortisol levels even higher.
If you want to dramatically increase your energy levels, improve your memory and cognition,
there is a specific supplement you can take that I use personally - but, I’ll give you
the name and the link to it at the end of today’s short video.
Now, you can just drink 2-3 cups of water to start the day. However, I make my own little
drink and it has a lot of health benefits and it tastes pretty good too. I call it Dr.
Sam’s lemonade.
Plus, it’ll stimulate your metabolism, detox and increase fat loss.
So get up, take at least 2-3 cups of water… Add in a little bit of Himalayan or Celtic
salt, so your body will absorb the water and it doesn’t go right through you. These salts
have lots of minerals, which is exactly what your body needs, especially in the morning.
And NO, adding a little bit of salt, less than ¼ of a teaspoon, is NOT going to raise
your blood pressure. In fact, it’ll help lower it and also reduce anxiety and stress
hormones.
Then add in some organic lemon juice to alkalize your body and make things taste better. You
can just buy premade juice, which is what I do.
And if you want, add in a tiny bit of vinegar to also help with acidity and to normalize
blood sugar levels. I get the one that says “with mother” on the label.
And finally, I add in a little bit organic stevia to sweeten it. Makes this all taste
much better and it doesn’t do anything negative to your blood sugar.
And there you have it. I actually drink this at least 2-3x daily. You can make a big pitcher
of it, like a gallon and then do the same.
#2 Best Time
The second best time is before, during and after exercise. And, you better be exercising,
so no excuses.
IF all you do is go for a 20-30 minute walk, that’s fine. Drink 2-3 cups and go for a
walk. The water + walk helps detox and flush out toxins.
If you exercise at the gym and sweat and so forth, then you better get hydrated.
And for guys that want to get a big pump at the gym, my “Dr Sam’s Lemonade” will
also help get you a bigger pump, improve contraction and stamina too.
#3 Best Time
Finally, make sure you have at about 1 cup of water about an hour or 2 before bedtime.
Now, you may be thinking “oh geez, I’ll be getting up all night long and peeing”.
Well, by using my “Lemonade drink” with the salt, you’ll absorb the water. You’ll
also alkalize and improve blood sugar and decrease blood pressure, again… all benefits
while you’re sleeping.
However, most people don’t realize that by staying hydrated throughout the night,
you’re LESS likely to get up, to snore, to wake up tired or have headaches or wake
up with pain and stiffness.
One last thing - make sure you drink water throughout the day, but do in between your
meals -- NOT before, during or after, as I described in my previous video.
So make sure you drink water: First thing in the morning when you wake up.
Before, during and after exercise - even if it’s just a walk
About an hour or two before bed.
Again, I suggest you do NOT start your day with coffee, even if it’s “bulletproof”.
Make sure you get hydrated with water and if you want to increase your energy levels
all day long and improve your mood, memory and cognition, take a natural anti-aging,
nootropic, “smart pill” supplement such as Body-Brain Energy
It’s a perfect substitute and alternative for any caffeinated product (coffee, energy
drinks, etc.) and it’s actually GOOD for you.
And you can get the link to it, below in the description area and get all the details.
