169. The Truth About Water: Filtration, Quality, and Health

Speaker: 00:00:03

So our water filters, a load of BS,

or are they actually effective in

2

: 00:00:08

cleaning our water and making our water?

3

: 00:00:11

Not necessarily more palatable,

but actually better for

4

: 00:00:14

our bodies by consuming it.

5

: 00:00:15

And if these water filters are not

just a load of BS and they actually

6

: 00:00:20

do work, which ones are actually

going to be the best ones for us to

7

: 00:00:24

use in terms of cost and in terms of.

8

: 00:00:28

Efficacy for removing

impurities from the water.

9

: 00:00:31

All of that and more on today's episode.

10

: 00:00:34

This is the elemental oven podcast.

11

: 00:00:37

And this is your host, Evan Roberts.

12

: 00:00:39

And on this show, I break down health

topics from a holistic and simplified

13

: 00:00:43

perspective so that you can walk away

from these episodes with actionable steps

14

: 00:00:47

that you can actually apply to your life

and take health back into your control.

15

: 00:00:52

But above all of that, I am honestly,

just a person who really cares

16

: 00:00:57

about my health and your health.

17

: 00:00:58

And this is my way of giving

back to everyone because it

18

: 00:01:01

is definitely the thing that I

wish I had when I was younger.

19

: 00:01:04

So hopefully you are able to take

something away from this podcast

20

: 00:01:08

today, which is going to be obviously

all about water and water filters.

21

: 00:01:12

So.

22

: 00:01:13

To kick things off.

23

: 00:01:15

Is a water filter effective.

24

: 00:01:17

Yes.

25

: 00:01:18

The short answer is definitely

yes, you a hundred percent.

26

: 00:01:21

Want to filter your water.

27

: 00:01:22

, luckily if you live in a somewhat or very

modern country, then you probably have

28

: 00:01:29

pretty clean water wherever you live, at

least to the point that you can drink it.

29

: 00:01:33

And it's not going to make you sick

or at least not sick immediately.

30

: 00:01:37

But.

31

: 00:01:38

The real concern kind of starts to rise.

32

: 00:01:40

When we start to talk about things

like, chlorine and fluoride, and even

33

: 00:01:46

actually trace amounts of pharmaceuticals,

making their way into our waterways,

34

: 00:01:52

as well as a bunch of other weird

things that could be in there possibly

35

: 00:01:56

leaching from the pipelines themselves.

36

: 00:01:59

That are transporting

the water to our faucets.

37

: 00:02:02

So if you're like me, I am someone who

grew up drinking straight out of the

38

: 00:02:07

hose, straight out of the garden hose, um,

playing out on the street and just every

39

: 00:02:12

time he got thirsty, you run over, throw

the hose on and drink straight out of it.

40

: 00:02:16

Probably not the best idea.

41

: 00:02:19

Of course, it's not going to

kill you, or at least it's not

42

: 00:02:22

going to do so immediately.

43

: 00:02:24

It might have health effects over

time, if you're asking me, I do

44

: 00:02:28

believe that a lot of the things that

are added into our waterways, or,

45

: 00:02:31

sorry, not our waterways, but actually

the water that we're consuming.

46

: 00:02:34

Is not necessary as

well as not good for us.

47

: 00:02:38

And so there's a saying that if you don't

use a filter, you become the filter.

48

: 00:02:44

And unfortunately there's a

lot of bad things that probably

49

: 00:02:47

shouldn't be in our water.

50

: 00:02:49

And therefore I do not want

my body purifying the water.

51

: 00:02:53

I would rather have something purify the

water for me, for me to then consume.

52

: 00:02:57

Which leads me to the next big

question of, so if water filters

53

: 00:03:02

are effective, Then what is the

best water filter to be using?

54

: 00:03:08

Well, I will say this.

55

: 00:03:10

I think that you need to meet the water

filter where your budget allows first.

56

: 00:03:16

So if that means just getting

a, I don't know, 30 or $40 Brita

57

: 00:03:20

filter, then maybe you start out

there and then work your way up.

58

: 00:03:24

Um, but definitely doing

something is going to be much,

59

: 00:03:28

much better than doing nothing.

60

: 00:03:30

Now with that said.

61

: 00:03:32

The Brita filter, probably

not the best filter choice.

62

: 00:03:37

Um, especially if you live in a major

city, which I do here in the U S um,

63

: 00:03:43

it's not gonna be the most effective,

and there's going to be a lot of

64

: 00:03:47

stuff that is still going to get past

those filters and into your water.

65

: 00:03:51

So therefore probably not

the best one to be using.

66

: 00:03:55

Um, there are some that are a step above

and of course the more money you spend

67

: 00:03:59

on these filters, typically the better

they're going to be for the most part.

68

: 00:04:03

That's not always true.

69

: 00:04:04

Um, but definitely going a step above that

would be something like along the lines

70

: 00:04:08

of a Berkey filter that's B E R K E Y.

71

: 00:04:13

That is definitely going to be a much,

much better filter than your Brita filter.

72

: 00:04:18

And in fact, it's going to be

league's better than the Brita filter.

73

: 00:04:22

But.

74

: 00:04:23

Even still, I would personally

myself go one step beyond even the

75

: 00:04:28

Berkey filter, which I do believe

the Berkey filter is a great filter.

76

: 00:04:31

So if you have that one, you're

still doing awesome with that.

77

: 00:04:36

But being that I live here in a major

city and there is just honestly,

78

: 00:04:40

There's a lot of stuff in the

water that is just not good for us.

79

: 00:04:44

And.

80

: 00:04:45

Really the most effective way

to get that out of the water is

81

: 00:04:49

to use a reverse osmosis system.

82

: 00:04:52

So personally I use the Aqua Tru

I believe is what's our true Aqua.

83

: 00:04:58

No, I think it's Aqua true.

84

: 00:04:59

Um, and it's a countertop appliance.

85

: 00:05:02

It's relatively affordable because

some of these reverse osmosis systems

86

: 00:05:06

can be a little bit expensive.

87

: 00:05:08

Like literally can even get

into the thousand dollar range.

88

: 00:05:11

Um, the Aqua true.

89

: 00:05:13

I think I got mine.

90

: 00:05:14

And for under $500, like maybe.

91

: 00:05:18

I got it on a cell.

92

: 00:05:18

So I don't remember exactly, but I even

want to say it was under 400, like 300

93

: 00:05:22

and something dollars, which is a really

good price for a reverse osmosis system.

94

: 00:05:27

But what I really like about the

countertop appliance that I have is

95

: 00:05:31

that you can clean out pretty much all

of the compartments, which is a really

96

: 00:05:36

big deal, because if you have a reverse

osmosis system that has a large tank on

97

: 00:05:41

it and is, you know, maybe under your

sink, there tends to be an issue with

98

: 00:05:46

algae overgrowth or just like back.

99

: 00:05:48

I think it's, I think it's bacteria

overgrowth, but you get like this

100

: 00:05:51

green growth and I'll even see it.

101

: 00:05:53

If I don't take good care of my Aqua.

102

: 00:05:56

AquaTru I'll see it start to grow in

some of the, uh, little, little nooks

103

: 00:06:01

and crannies of the water system.

104

: 00:06:04

So then I have to make sure I'm really

cleaning it super well, which typically I

105

: 00:06:08

just do a water and, um, Uh, white vinegar

as well as even a little bit of, uh,

106

: 00:06:14

just dish washing soap to clean that out.

107

: 00:06:17

Um, so I really do like the

fact that I can clean it as

108

: 00:06:20

opposed to the under sink system.

109

: 00:06:23

I think there is a way to clean

it, but it's very difficult.

110

: 00:06:25

You have to have typically

someone come out and service it.

111

: 00:06:27

Uh, which is just not something

that I'm interested in doing.

112

: 00:06:30

I'd rather just be able to do it myself.

113

: 00:06:32

It might be a little bit more tedious.

114

: 00:06:34

But I do really enjoy

the quality of water.

115

: 00:06:38

It tastes really good.

116

: 00:06:40

You can tell it's absolutely

been, you know, um, purified and.

117

: 00:06:44

He definitely has a

very clean taste to it.

118

: 00:06:48

Which is super important, because

like I said, there's just so many

119

: 00:06:50

impurities in the water system here.

120

: 00:06:52

That it's just a good idea to

make sure we're trying to filter

121

: 00:06:55

out as much of that as we can.

122

: 00:06:58

However, there is a kind of flip

side to this as with most things.

123

: 00:07:03

And that is that water is not found

in nature in its pure H2O form because

124

: 00:07:09

water likes to bind with stuff, right.

125

: 00:07:12

It likes.

126

: 00:07:12

Um, you know, it's a solvent, right?

127

: 00:07:15

And so it likes to bind with things.

128

: 00:07:17

And so water in nature is

always with something else,

129

: 00:07:21

typically with minerals, right?

130

: 00:07:22

Because it's running through rivers

and it's picking up these minerals.

131

: 00:07:26

And so naturally water has some

mineral conduit content to it.

132

: 00:07:31

Or M T D S I think stands for total

dissolved solubles, I believe.

133

: 00:07:36

Um, so if you ever drink like spring

water, you can typically look on the

134

: 00:07:39

back of the bottle and it'll say the.

135

: 00:07:41

T D S content.

136

: 00:07:44

Which is definitely a good thing, right?

137

: 00:07:46

We want to have minerals, um, that

are replenishing our body, that

138

: 00:07:50

we're drinking from our water.

139

: 00:07:51

So when you have a reverse osmosis

system and you purify your water, you

140

: 00:07:56

do need to add back in minerals, which

may sound counterproductive here.

141

: 00:08:01

Like you're stripping everything

out to put things back in.

142

: 00:08:04

But really we're just trying

to strip out all the bad stuff

143

: 00:08:07

to put back in the good stuff.

144

: 00:08:08

So you can buy, um, typically they're

called like trace minerals, um,

145

: 00:08:13

Aqua Tru as well, has their own.

146

: 00:08:16

A little blend.

147

: 00:08:16

It's basically, it's literally almost

like concentrated seawater, which is

148

: 00:08:21

just once again, super high in minerals.

149

: 00:08:24

Um, and you can just add a few drops

or however many drops is recommended.

150

: 00:08:28

Into your water jug or your water

container, where you store your water.

151

: 00:08:32

And that way you're, remineralizing your

water because I don't know the actual,

152

: 00:08:38

you know, science backing on this,

but they do say that when you drink.

153

: 00:08:43

You know, purified water, water that has

been stripped of pretty much everything.

154

: 00:08:48

And it's just pure.

155

: 00:08:48

H2O is not good for your body because it

could possibly start to pull minerals out

156

: 00:08:55

of your body because it naturally wants

to bind with other things and wants to.

157

: 00:08:59

Uh, be accompanied by other things, right?

158

: 00:09:02

So for that reason, it is

supposedly not good to drink.

159

: 00:09:07

Just purified water.

160

: 00:09:08

You want to add a little

bit of something in there.

161

: 00:09:10

And for example, if you have a bottle

of purified water that you bought at

162

: 00:09:13

the store, just drop a little bit of

sea salt in there, and it will help to

163

: 00:09:18

add some minerals back into that water.

164

: 00:09:21

So that is a quick little hack that you

can do, but overall, we definitely want

165

: 00:09:25

to try to make sure we're drinking.

166

: 00:09:27

You know, water that has been properly

purified and then adding in the necessary

167

: 00:09:31

minerals that it needs so that we're not

stripping our body, which once again,

168

: 00:09:35

I do not have any science to back that

up and I'm not citing anything on it.

169

: 00:09:39

You can go look up studies.

170

: 00:09:41

Um, I'm sure you could

find some that would.

171

: 00:09:44

You know, justify exactly what I'm saying.

172

: 00:09:46

Uh, but nonetheless, this is just hearsay.

173

: 00:09:48

It's what I've heard from other people.

174

: 00:09:49

And it's an easy

precaution for me to take.

175

: 00:09:52

And nonetheless, what's the harm of

taking some additional minerals, right?

176

: 00:09:55

So that is the type of water

filtration system that I use.

177

: 00:09:59

And that honestly, my wallet will allow,

because once you start going above

178

: 00:10:04

that, it can start to get a little bit

pricey, like for example, I believe

179

: 00:10:09

that spring water is actually one of the

best waters that you can possibly drink.

180

: 00:10:14

It's a natural source of

water that is going to be.

181

: 00:10:18

You know, already containing the minerals

that it should have, and it's going

182

: 00:10:22

to be very hydrating for the body.

183

: 00:10:24

And just overall, I believe Springwater

truly is like one of the most hydrating

184

: 00:10:29

and nourishing waters that we can drink.

185

: 00:10:31

So from time to time, I will grab

some spring water from the store and

186

: 00:10:35

drink a little bit here and there.

187

: 00:10:37

But there are these, you know,

delivery systems where you can get on

188

: 00:10:41

a subscription and they will deliver

spring water to your door by the gallons.

189

: 00:10:46

Um, and that's definitely

a really awesome thing.

190

: 00:10:49

I would love to do that, but

once again, you do start to

191

: 00:10:52

get into a little bit more.

192

: 00:10:54

Uh, money here, but there is a

brand or a company by the name

193

: 00:10:59

of waters alive, I believe, or

alive waters, something like that.

194

: 00:11:03

And they do have a service where

they provide, uh, you know, to

195

: 00:11:06

your door delivery of spring water,

which is really, really cool.

196

: 00:11:10

And honestly, if I was able to,

I would probably go that route.

197

: 00:11:14

But definitely going the

reverse osmosis route.

198

: 00:11:19

Is not a bad idea.

199

: 00:11:20

I think it's something that I would

always have on hand just in case.

200

: 00:11:24

Uh, even if I was doing this spring water.

201

: 00:11:26

And honestly, it's still a

really good form of water.

202

: 00:11:29

Um, I think it's definitely

not even mid range.

203

: 00:11:32

I think it's on the higher

end of making sure you're

204

: 00:11:35

drinking like really good water.

205

: 00:11:36

And then with the top, in my

opinion, being Springwater, uh,

206

: 00:11:41

as being the absolute best type of

water that you could be consuming.

207

: 00:11:45

Once again.

208

: 00:11:46

You have to go find the

research on that one.

209

: 00:11:48

Cause I'm not citing a source on that one.

210

: 00:11:50

Actually the whole reason for

this episode is because I was

211

: 00:11:53

asked multiple times about water.

212

: 00:11:56

Uh, this week.

213

: 00:11:57

And so I figured it would be a good

idea to do an episode on it because

214

: 00:12:00

it's a question I've been getting a lot.

215

: 00:12:01

So I figured why not just make

a podcast episode on it, but

216

: 00:12:05

nonetheless, uh, so yeah, sorry.

217

: 00:12:08

I'm a little bit lax.

218

: 00:12:10

Today's nickel here on the citing

of sources for this episode.

219

: 00:12:14

Um, a lot of this is just what

I've heard throughout, you know, my

220

: 00:12:17

journey here in life and through this.

221

: 00:12:20

Uh, you know, constant research and

studying of health and wellness.

222

: 00:12:23

These are the things that

I've heard regarding water.

223

: 00:12:26

So yeah, in my opinion, spring

water is going to be at the top.

224

: 00:12:30

And of course, that's also going to

vary depending on the source in which

225

: 00:12:34

you're getting the spring water from.

226

: 00:12:36

Right.

227

: 00:12:36

We want to make sure it's a very clean

source, not one that's been tampered

228

: 00:12:39

with, or maybe has a lot of pollutants

in it because of, you know, activity

229

: 00:12:43

going on around the, the spring water.

230

: 00:12:46

Uh, those can also play a factor as well.

231

: 00:12:48

So you do have to take that into.

232

: 00:12:49

Consideration, but I think the

reverse osmosis system is a

233

: 00:12:52

really, really great way to go.

234

: 00:12:54

And it's also quite affordable.

235

: 00:12:56

Um, the filters on the reverse

osmosis system need to be replaced

236

: 00:13:00

about once a year, um, which

absolutely does not break the bank.

237

: 00:13:05

Um, I'm trying to remember how

much they were, but I want to say.

238

: 00:13:09

I think I spent somewhere around 80 to

$90 to replace two of the filters because

239

: 00:13:14

the other filter can last much longer.

240

: 00:13:16

So it's a pretty

affordable route for sure.

241

: 00:13:20

Um, yeah, so definitely highly recommend

that or the Springwater, but then once

242

: 00:13:24

again, just meet yourself wherever you

can and wherever your money allows.

243

: 00:13:29

Uh, but definitely using a filter

is going to be a benefit, even

244

: 00:13:32

if it's the lowest, the low.

245

: 00:13:35

A Brita filter, right?

246

: 00:13:36

Like that's still going to be

better than having nothing.

247

: 00:13:39

Now I also wanted to talk about

one other topic here that I

248

: 00:13:43

do get a lot of questions on.

249

: 00:13:45

And I was asked about this week as well.

250

: 00:13:47

And that is about alkaline water.

251

: 00:13:50

So to be fair, I actually,

haven't done a crazy amount

252

: 00:13:54

of research on alkaline water.

253

: 00:13:56

But from what I have seen, at least in

the small amount of research or, you

254

: 00:14:02

know, podcasts that I have listened to.

255

: 00:14:05

Is essentially that.

256

: 00:14:07

Alkaline water.

257

: 00:14:08

May be beneficial for the body,

but there really isn't super hard

258

: 00:14:13

evidence on it are at least from what

I've heard, because when you drink

259

: 00:14:18

alkaline water, Your stomach is acidic.

260

: 00:14:22

And so when you drink alkaline water, the

first thing that's going to happen is that

261

: 00:14:27

water is going to become acidic because

it's entering an acidic environment, which

262

: 00:14:31

your stomach is very, very acidic, right?

263

: 00:14:33

And your stomach will produce

more hydrochloric acid and

264

: 00:14:36

make a more acidic environment.

265

: 00:14:38

Even if you pour, uh, some of this,

you know, alkaline water in there.

266

: 00:14:41

And in general, your body has, um, the

ability to alkalize itself by using,

267

: 00:14:47

uh, different minerals throughout.

268

: 00:14:49

The body and wherever the acidity

is needed, that's where it will go.

269

: 00:14:54

So from what I've heard.

270

: 00:14:56

Drinking alkaline water, probably isn't

really fully doing what they're saying

271

: 00:15:02

in terms of like alkalizing the body.

272

: 00:15:03

I think.

273

: 00:15:04

More, so.

274

: 00:15:05

Having like an alkaline diet

would probably be more effective.

275

: 00:15:09

Uh, if you were really concerned

with making your body more alkaline.

276

: 00:15:13

Um, but nonetheless, you know what

go with whatever route works for you.

277

: 00:15:17

Um, I know there's a few brands out there.

278

: 00:15:19

Like the Kangen water

is one of the big ones.

279

: 00:15:22

Um, You know, it's a water

filter, so that's good.

280

: 00:15:26

You know, at least you're

like filtering your water.

281

: 00:15:29

Like that's definitely a benefit, right?

282

: 00:15:31

Like regardless of the alkaline, uh,

You know, portion of the water, it's

283

: 00:15:37

at least filtered, which is going

to be, uh, definitely a benefit.

284

: 00:15:40

And in terms of the alkaline.

285

: 00:15:43

Properties of the water.

286

: 00:15:44

If it's really benefiting us.

287

: 00:15:46

Personally, I don't think so.

288

: 00:15:48

Um, I mean, that's just my opinion on it.

289

: 00:15:50

I don't really believe that it is

really super beneficial for the body.

290

: 00:15:54

Maybe I'm wrong.

291

: 00:15:55

It could be somewhat beneficial.

292

: 00:15:57

Um, but just from what I've heard and

from the small research that I have

293

: 00:16:01

done, it doesn't seem like alkaline water

really has a huge effect on your health.

294

: 00:16:06

Um, but nonetheless, if that's the

route you want to go and it makes

295

: 00:16:09

you consume more water than, Hey,

that's definitely a good route to go.

296

: 00:16:14

I would say one thing though,

do not drink alkaline water.

297

: 00:16:17

Near the time in which you're

eating food, because once

298

: 00:16:21

again, your stomach is acidic.

299

: 00:16:23

And if you do consume some alkaline

water, or even just kind of like water in

300

: 00:16:27

general, they typically say to you, no.

301

: 00:16:30

Wait about 30 minutes before and

after eating, before drinking water.

302

: 00:16:34

Um, and that is because it will

slightly lower your stomach acidity

303

: 00:16:38

your pH level and make it slightly

harder to digest the foods.

304

: 00:16:42

So typically if you're drinking any

kind of water, um, around a meal, you

305

: 00:16:45

want to wait 30 minutes before and

30 minutes after consuming food to

306

: 00:16:49

make sure you're not really messing

with the digestion, um, and making

307

: 00:16:52

sure that your pH levels stay high so

that it can digest the food properly.

308

: 00:16:56

And break it down in and assimilate

it and all that good stuff.

309

: 00:16:59

So that's just in general with any

kind of water that you're drinking,

310

: 00:17:02

but even more specifically, I guess,

with the alkaline water, um, because

311

: 00:17:06

we do want to keep our stomach acidic

when it comes to consuming food.

312

: 00:17:10

Uh, but yeah, that's pretty

much the rap on alkaline water,

313

: 00:17:13

in my opinion, probably not.

314

: 00:17:16

Really as effective as they say it

is, but I could totally be wrong.

315

: 00:17:20

Um, I haven't done enough

research on it to really have

316

: 00:17:22

a super strong opinion on it.

317

: 00:17:24

And honestly, if it makes you

consume more water than by all means,

318

: 00:17:28

feel free to drink alkaline water.

319

: 00:17:30

I'd be happy to see you just at

least consuming more filtered

320

: 00:17:34

water as opposed to not.

321

: 00:17:35

So that is where I'm going

to put the point on alkaline

322

: 00:17:40

water and its effectiveness.

323

: 00:17:42

And honestly, that is where I'm

going to wrap up this episode.

324

: 00:17:45

It's a little bit of a shorter episode

today, but I really wanted to give

325

: 00:17:49

a quick talk on water and the kind

of water that I drink and the water

326

: 00:17:54

filtration system that I personally use.

327

: 00:17:56

Um, so the big takeaways from this

episode is definitely going to be, to

328

: 00:18:01

use a water filter, regardless of which

one it is better to use one than not.

329

: 00:18:05

Because if you don't use a water

filter, you become the water filter.

330

: 00:18:09

Um, in my opinion, a reverse osmosis

system, one like the Aqua Tru

331

: 00:18:14

is going to be really beneficial

because you can also clean it out.

332

: 00:18:17

Uh, to avoid any of that, like,

I think it's like an allergy,

333

: 00:18:21

uh, growth that can happen.

334

: 00:18:22

And then if you can, Springwater

definitely in my opinion is going

335

: 00:18:27

to be the best water you consume.

336

: 00:18:29

And in terms of alkaline water, probably

not as effective as they say it is, but

337

: 00:18:35

if it makes you drink more filtered water,

then by all means, feel free to drink it.

338

: 00:18:39

And I think it's going to be of

benefit as opposed to not drinking.

339

: 00:18:43

The filtered water and staying hydrated.

340

: 00:18:45

So definitely would recommend doing that.

341

: 00:18:48

And also just a quick tip on hydration.

342

: 00:18:52

If you are a person who struggles with

hydration, or even if you are fasting

343

: 00:18:58

a lot and you typically get a little

bit lightheaded, um, in the morning

344

: 00:19:02

because you are fasting, I would highly

recommend trying out the element packets.

345

: 00:19:06

That's L M N T.

346

: 00:19:08

These can really help out with,

uh, making sure that you don't get

347

: 00:19:12

super lightheaded because it has

literally all the electrolytes that

348

: 00:19:15

you would need and nothing more.

349

: 00:19:18

Um, they use, I think.

350

: 00:19:20

Is it Stevia?

351

: 00:19:22

I can't remember what kind of sweetener

they use, but it's one that doesn't

352

: 00:19:24

spike the blood glucose levels.

353

: 00:19:27

So you can even take it while you're

fasting, which is really awesome.

354

: 00:19:30

Um, another thing that I've done as

well is I have taken the energy bits.

355

: 00:19:34

Uh, the spirulina energy bits.

356

: 00:19:36

So sorry, spirulina from energy bits.

357

: 00:19:40

Um, that's my personal favorite company

in terms of spirulina and chlorella.

358

: 00:19:44

I really, really love those

products and they have a ton of

359

: 00:19:46

vitamins and minerals in them.

360

: 00:19:48

And if you keep the amount of energy

bits that you consume or spirulina or

361

: 00:19:54

chlorella, um, to a minimum, then it

will not spike your levels too high.

362

: 00:20:00

And supposedly you can still

stay in a fasted state even with.

363

: 00:20:04

I'm consuming a few of them, like

maybe let's say five or six of them.

364

: 00:20:08

And that may also help with keeping you

from getting that kind of like faint

365

: 00:20:13

NIS that you might feel, uh, throughout

the early parts of your morning.

366

: 00:20:16

If you are fasting, I have tried that

and it has worked for me as well.

367

: 00:20:20

So I kind of bounced between the two

from the element to the, uh, specifically

368

: 00:20:24

I use spirulina from energy bits.

369

: 00:20:27

And, um, that usually helps me out so

that I don't get too faint when I'm.

370

: 00:20:31

Uh, going about my day early on, because

some days I will fast until like 12

371

: 00:20:35

o'clock and, you know, there are some

times where if I don't have element or

372

: 00:20:39

the spirulina, then I can start to feel

a little bit light headed and, uh, I'll

373

: 00:20:44

have to quickly find some way to, uh,

get like, you know, some electrolytes

374

: 00:20:49

in my system or something like that.

375

: 00:20:50

So, um, that's going to be my tip on that.

376

: 00:20:52

Uh, if you wanted to try out the

spirulina energy bits, go ahead and

377

: 00:20:56

Uh, but yeah, so feel

free to check those out.

388

: 00:21:22

And I think that's going

to do it in terms of water.

389

: 00:21:26

So hopefully this was of benefit

and you have something to take away

390

: 00:21:30

from this episode and hopefully

it is to start using a filter.

391

: 00:21:34

Um, if you take one thing

away, Definitely be that.

392

: 00:21:38

Um, and yeah, that's going

to do it for today's episode.
