1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. So 3 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: I had a family member, a sister in law, tell 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: me recently that Seltzer dehydrates No, and this is a 5 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: perfect fit tip. So here we go. Does seltzer dehydrate you? 6 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: So quick? Fit tip? Super important? Though. She's a very 7 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: smart woman, she's an athlete. But there is a myth 8 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: that seltzer dehydrates you. Right, So let's just break down 9 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: real quickly kind of the differences in tap water, club soda, 10 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: sparkling water, Seltzer water, and for fun, let's row in 11 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: tonic water. Okay, so regular water, nothing's added generally speaking, right, 12 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: it's not carbonated, and it's unflavored. Obviously you have fluoride 13 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: and things like that depending on where you're getting it from. 14 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: But for our purposes, it's just water, right, Regular water 15 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: out of a faucet doesn't have the things in it 16 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about or we're concerned about here. 17 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: All right, then there is Seltzer water. It's just carbonated. 18 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: So Seltzer water is the simplest version of carbonated water. 19 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: How is it made you take regular water and you 20 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: add carbon dioxide gas you carbonated. So that is generally 21 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: speaking what Seltzer water is. Now many people myself included, 22 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: will pretty much use Seltzer and club soda interchangeably. A 23 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: club soda is also carbonated. It can also have additives 24 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: like sodium bicarbonate, sodium citru eight, dies, sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, 25 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: and it can start out unflavored and then can be 26 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: flavored right getting hugely popular. All these different types of 27 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: carbonated waters. And then there's sparkling water. I've done some 28 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: work with different sparkling water companies over the years. They 29 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: naturally contain depending on where they come from, certain things, 30 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: so you know, they can be rich in things like potassium, sodium, 31 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: and magnesium, but they occur naturally depending on where they 32 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: get it from, because some of these come from underground rocks. 33 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: And I did some work with Contracts, which is a 34 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: really popular water from France, and it had it was 35 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: really high in calcium. So sparkling mineral water. The bubbles 36 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: are added afterwards, okay, but similar to Seltzer, but can 37 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: have different things again potassium, sodium, magnesium, things like that. 38 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: And then there is tonic water, which I have to 39 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: laugh because this is something I would find in the 40 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: refrigerator when I was younger, and I loved it, And 41 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: sure enough you realize years later it's because there's sugar 42 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: in it. It's a lot of sugar in tonic water. 43 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Which is why when I do the show on what's 44 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: the best alcohol to drink as far as weight loss 45 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: and all those great questions I get so frequently, tonic 46 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: water will be a topic of discussion. Okay, but there's 47 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: the difference. There's the differentiation. You've got tap water, club soda, 48 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: sparkling water, seltzer water, tonic water. Carbonation is added. Those 49 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: are the bubbles. But it's basically the bubbles that people 50 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: are concerned with when it comes to the myth that 51 00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: it's dehydrating. Is that true though? No one thing that 52 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: people will say, and this is true obviously, they'll say 53 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: they consume less carbonated water because it fills them up, 54 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: and so they might become dehydrated because you drink less. 55 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: So if you're using club soda as as a hydration method, 56 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: there's a reason it's not on the course at any event. 57 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: The bubbles don't help people in that way. So you might, 58 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: you will probably drink less. And by the way, that 59 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: is one reason people use carbonated water as a way 60 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: to lose weight, because it fills you up. Topic for 61 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: another day, fit tip for another time. But there you go. 62 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: I drink club soda and Seltzer water to help fill 63 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: me up instead of eating something that I don't want 64 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: to eat. But does it dehydrate you? Know? You know 65 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: this goes to the and this is even more complicated. 66 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: But I did the fit tip on does caffeine? Does 67 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: coffee dehydrate you? Now that's much more understandable as to 68 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: where that myth came from because you think it increases 69 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: your output. But if you haven't listened to that fit tip, 70 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: because that's still one and I understand that's that's much 71 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: more complicated and difficult to understand. But fluid is fluid, 72 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: and the caffeine the coffee doesn't dehydrate you the way 73 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: people think. But there you have it. Seltzer water simplest 74 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: version of carbonated water. It's made by combining regular water 75 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: with carbon dioxide gas and it does not dehydrates you. 76 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: It hydrates you. You just might drink less than regular water. 77 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: And there you go. Fit tip does Seltzer dehydrate you? 78 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Science says no. All right, thank you so much for listening. 79 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: If you want to reach out, Tom, Each fit is 80 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: my Instagram and Twitter account.
