The Truth About Sparkling Water | RTC

what's a subject you wish your professors had spent more time focusing on when they were teaching you in med school okay okay hotly contested subject the one thing I would add a monthly improv class where you have to live in the moment without preparation just be there be a person speak your feelings just yell at each other does drinking the recommended amount of water per day throughout the day have the same impact on your body as if you just chugged it all in one or two sittings it's not the same your body can only absorb so much water and if it doesn't absorb it it then goes to waste and you create urine which is more important inhaling or exhaling okay this is important inhal inhaling or ex honestly as important it is to inhale I think the exhale is the underrated because you can really get a lot from an exhale I don't want to go too spiritual with it but it cleanses the soul and essentially when you're inhaling you're getting oxygen yeah okay good stuff but when you're exhaling carbon dioxide CO2 Co l cool wait does Dr Mike have a Discord there are Discord icons on some of these questions yeah I have a Discord baby join the patreon you get automatic invite to the Discord and the patreon is 10 bucks a month I keep none of the money each month you vote where that money goes to the charity of your choice we have a monthly live stream we always have fun you get early access to tickets to merch by the way merch Down Below have you kept up your diet after your last boxing match furthest from it in fact someone from the Discord sent me a chocolate bar I ate the whole chocolate bar just now I'm not proud of it but I'm human and I make mistakes and this was today's mistake why does cutting my hand with scissors hurt less than a paper cut oh that's such a good question first of all I don't think that's true just saying as a doctor I think just the paper cut is less expected like if scissors are cutting you you expect large amounts of pain so you kind of prepare for it but just like getting a hit unexpectedly like getting Sucker Punch or something hurts much worse a paper cut you're like oh this a paper no big deal oh it cut me that oh it cut me moment could be an issue our pain perception is not solely decided by the injury but also our perception of the injury we basically have like a volume remote of our pain signals but if we can learn to dial down the volume on the pain we can get a better control of it without taking medications I love the smell of scented candles please tell me is there any health benefit to them or do they just smell good well they just smell good but when you look good and you smell good you might feel good and there's health benefits to feeling good I don't know why I just went m MC on that what would happen if you got dust in your bloodstream she be Dusty I don't know your macrofagos would probably eat it I don't know you ask a pathology channel is Selter water unhealthier than Flat Water oh man the reality about sparkling water is the only population of people that I say should be careful with sparkling water are people who have acid reflux because if you already have some acid leaking outside the gut into the esophagus having bubbles in there you could actually expand the stomach more and cause more of that leaky got especially with burping and stuff then everything else it's kind of not so bad it might be slightly more acidic than tap water especially if it has some like flavorings in it but dentists say like if you drink it with a meal or if you drink some water right after it like plain water you're fine if you're replacing soda like sugary soda with Selter dang right it's good for you is Dr Mike expecting a child because these dad jokes are getting out of hand I'm having a baby I don't have a good dad joke for that but I am expecting expecting you to laugh at these dad jokes I saved that one are there any benefits to having one blood type over another outside of the ability to donate we have seen some patterns about certain illnesses happening less and more often in certain blood types but nothing that we found that we can really act upon first of all what useful information is that for you you're not going to change your blood type maybe you can change your certain activities around certain things cuz you know you're more susceptible but are you you know being on your phone isn't that healthy I see you doing a little risk reduction though watching a doctor and stuff answer medical questions so you're growing up here but I see you how many times a year do you encounter a live animal in the hospital live you mean like besides the supporting pause program with like dogs I mean like flies are they animals is a fly an animal Sam a fly would be an insect but is that an animal I believe insects are animals are they let's see insects are the most diverse group of animals uh-huh we caught you insects is every insect an animal how do you clean Bear's ears I actually have a full grooming video where I groom bear for like 5 hours I use like these ear wipes these medicated ear wipes I think it does a great job there's also things that you could put in the ear kind of Squish the ear around and then let bear shake his ear out to get the the liquid out oh wow you pronounced pilman correctly you really are Russian yeah I love pman is my favorite food suus ooh o o my mother told me to never stretch in the morning or I will stop my growth is she telling the truth say what stretch it's good I'm not a huge fan of stretching cold I like stretching after a little bit of a dynamic warm-up see you might have a medical condition then your mom back the doctor doesn't know what you're talking about cuz you have this medical condition say what for the general person if you stretch in the morning props what kind of music does Dr Mike listen to what did your Spotify rap say I will give you three of my songs on my Spotify wrapped 2022 song number One Mount Everest which was my walkout song to my boxing Journey with ubbs number two city of gods mostly because of Alicia Key singing up New York and then last but not least a little sticky with Drake if you know you know is it unhealthy for me to never take my bra off I wear 247 because I'm uncomfortable when I have it on 24/7 I would say is probably unnecessary if something's bothering you pain wise definitely a reason to see your doctor even if you're younger because it's easy enough to get an ultrasound and make sure that that it's nothing serious remember I would much rather you come in with a concern we not only rule it out anything dangerous therefore we give you some reassurance but then we also can make sure that we have a good line of communication we can give you some risks things that you're doing that may be unhealthy that could cause problems down the line and act early there's very few things we can act early upon but if we use the tools that we have we can really extend not only the length of our lives but the quality of Our Lives why aren't over-the-counter medication dosages based on weight they're only based on whether you're a kid or an adult well it matters more when you're a kid weight based dosages as an adult you have a healthy liver and kidney so that like you have normal functioning organs there's also a really important takeaway Plan B a medication that you use as emergency contraception may not work as well in those are uh who are over a certain number of pounds so please be aware of that and speak to your doctor about that situation I've seen people not know that and then make some bad decisions or at least incorrect decisions about their health I know undersleeping is bad for my health but what about oversleeping if I if I sleep too much can it be harmful sometimes I sleep in late and somehow feel more tired that's actually a classic thing and I talked about it with Matthew Walker on my podcast where if you're making up sleep debt where you haven't slept for a certain number of nights in a row the adequate numbers of sleep and then you finally get a good night's sleep that initial few minutes of waking up you're going to feel terrible because of sleep inertia where you haven't yet kind of cleared that sleep de and you probably need to sleep a few more nights in order to start feeling better I heard if you're having breakouts on your forehead it's because of bad gut health is this true and how can I improve my gut health okay I'm going to take the second part of the question first you can improve your gut health by focusing on the things we talk about quite often this channel eating fibrous Foods those are basically prebiotics eating a wide variety of plants AKA fruits and vegetables limiting the amount of simple sugars you consume because those things can actually worsen gut health now let's talk about acne on the forehead maybe if you're eating a really unhealthy Diet also having a really unhealthy lifestyle and not sleeping and all these things yeah you might get a break C because of a hormonal issue but changing just one little aspect is not going to have a drastic outcome on your skin you need to think about all the variables in your life and try and improve your lifestyle as opposed to finding a hack here that's not the secret what's the difference between a first second and third degree burn depth depth first degree burns only affect the outer layer of the skin second degree burns affect outer an underlying layer of skin and third degree burns affect the Deep layers of the skin see I even had to look that up even though they answer was outer outer and inner or deep but see this is a stop at med school that you shouldn't spend hours memorizing cuz what ends up happening is you learn a lot of useless information that you could look up real quick and that's what the new generation of medical student and Doctor should be someone that knows a lot but knows things that they can forget that they can look up real quick cuz the ease of information is right there at our fingertips so for example like guidelines change all the time when it comes to screenings I try not to memorize those because I know that any moment I can look it up and get the most up-to-date info even if I know it cold I still look it up cuz I want to be sure that I'm giving you the best Healthcare advice I answered questions on the street well not at the street but in Central Park they asked me tough ones too and as always stay happy and [Music] healthy
