Episode #22: Why Does Dehydration Impact 75% of Americans & How Do We Quench the Problem?
“Proper hydration and knowing what this is… is the single most important thing you can do to treat and prevent chronic illness. Hands down.” - Dana Cohen, MD
We can survive for weeks without food, but we would not survive beyond seven days without water. Our organs and bodily systems would shut down. And, if we drink too much water, we could be flushing out valuable electrolytes, vital minerals and nutrients.
I am delighted to have my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Dana Cohen, as a guest on THLSZ. She is an internist practicing integrative medicine for over two decades in New York City. Dr. Cohen also co-authored the groundbreaking book, Quench with Gia Bria This book is based on new science in the field of hydration. QUENCH debunks many popular myths about “getting enough water.”
Dr. Cohen will take us on a deep dive into this epidemic of low-grade dehydration. She will explain how proper hydration can reduce or eliminate ailments like chronic weight gain, headaches, fibromyalgia and fatigue, including cognitive issues like Alzheimer’s. Today’s conversation will move beyond the eight glasses of daily water and how water locked inside plants hydrate more efficiently than tap water.
