Letās talk about carbonated water. Water is carbonated by adding CO2. This makes it bubbly and slightly acidic.
The body needs CO2 for oxygen to be absorbed into the cells. You can even put your body in a hypoxic state (low oxygen state) by depriving your tissues of CO2.
Carbonated spas or baths are used in some places for people with circulatory problems or diabetic wounds. Itās also used as a therapy for people after a stroke and to decrease the rate of amputation.
While I wasnāt able to find research on the health benefits of carbonated water, I did find some parallel research on CO2. CO2 is a potent anti-tumor, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory gas.
One study found a significant increase in the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system by increasing CO2. The parasympathetic nervous system counters fight or flight mode and supports healing, digestion, and sleep.
CO2 is a key factor we canāt ignore. You can increase your CO2 by breathing through your nose, especially while you sleep or exercise. Hot springs also have a significant amount of CO2. Itās even used in certain skin creams.

There are doctors who care and doctors who do not care. This doctor cares so much that he takes time to help us all understand nutrition, not just medication. Very intelligent man here. Again, thank you for caring

I officially stopped drinking alcohol 6 months ago. It was a huge feat for me. Drinking carbonated water with a lime especially, has been my saving grace and helps keep me going. Edit: thank you everyone for the kind responses-it sounds like a lot of us are going through similar journeys

Carbonated water with lemon juice added to it helped me conquer my cola addiction and I feel so much better both mentally and obviously physically. Thanks for this video still, I am glad it actually gives further benefits besides not filling myself with cancerous sugar water.

This is awesome! I hated soda water. But I started drinking it when I was getting fit in replace of soda for that carbonation feel. Ended up loving it and I drink soda water all the time.

I love this Doctor. He respects the patient and educates them instead of talking down to them. Itās like sitting in a classroom with a REAL teacher that loves the subject and wants to share it. You know what teachers use to be! Iām 65 and HAD very high BP until I followed his advice. My doctor cleared me and it was done with NO medication. Diet only. Thank you Doctor

I had some bloodwork come back a few months ago showing elevated A1C, blood glucose, triglycerides, and HDL - just short of being pre-diabetic. I found this channel five weeks ago and since I've dropped 20lbs, down to 180 now and all my readings ARE NORMAL! Thank you doc!
-
This is such good news for me. I love drinking carbonated water so much and I thought it was bad, not knowing why. I also used to drink too much alcohol and this was a great substitute. Thank you for your research!

Dr. Eric Berg, thank you so much! You saved me and taught me how to lower my blood sugar. I come from a family with Diabetes. Most of my siblings are on Insulin. I found your channel on Keto Diet a month and a half ago. I was due for a bloodwork, but I delayed it, and followed the Keto Diet. Just two weeks ago, I did my blood work. And last Wednesday, I went to see my Provider for the results. My bloodwork was fantastic, Thank you God....but the thing that surprised me most was my blood sugar! last year it was 6.2, and last Wednesday, it was 5.7! I am continuing my Keto Diet, and I have learned how to Fast. I always had problems when preparing for bloodwork because, I cannot fast. I always get hungry every 2-3 hours. But ever since I did the Keto Diet, I could fast for 10-12 hours. Just amazing! I am not really fat, just regular size, but I am amazed with my weight now and flat belly. Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I also enjoy drinking Carbonated Water (Perrier).You are a Life Saver, had I not known about this Keto Diet, I could have been a candidate for Insulin just like my siblings.

Yay! We got a soda stream machine when we started keto diet a couple of years ago. We drink carbonated water with a squeeze of lime. After a couple of weeks off sugar, your taste changes and even that tiny bit of lime starts to taste a little sweet. Highly recommend.
-
I've switched from sodas to sparkling water 15+ years ago. It quenches my thirst minus the sugar of soda much better than regular water.
-
I used to drink a lot of soda. I bought a Soda Stream back in 2018. I haven't had soda since. This video has made my day! Thank you for posting. Cheers
-
People have been doing that in India for a long time anytime stomach is upset or gassy they have soda water. Not softdrinks but soda water. Now I understand the reason why. Thank you Dr Berg for explaining.

Back in Mexico in the late 50s, and thru the 60s and 70s my parents owned an ice cream parlor, with delicious ice cream, in many flavors, eskimals, real fruit popsicles and a carbonated water machine that was the main source for people to come to the place...my Dad (RIP) bought this large machine in El Paso, TX and brought it to his business ...some how he started selling carbonated water with lime juice and a sprinkle of salt and people loved it!.....especially in the hot and blistering summers in Torreon, Mexico.....I love to this day a cold glass of carbonated water with lime juice and a sprinkle of Himalayan salt, .....makes me feel hydrated and a general feeling of well being...Try it, you will love it....Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing your video, you re the Best!!!

I knew it!! I replaced the occasional soda with flavored non sweetened carbonated water about a decade ago. Some people said the carbonation was still bad for you but I always felt great after drinking them. Confirmation I needed, thank you! šš»š

Iām SO GLAD you posted this. For years Iāve always said I get dehydrated from drinking regular flat water. My lips are always chapped, I feel queasy and uncomfortable trying to drink flat water, and never satisfied. Iāve been drinking carbonated water almost exclusively for decades. I feel refreshed and hydrated and it goes down much easier.
-
Always humble like you say and yet always gives us his best to help us....how many Dr's do that...? Thankyu Dr.Berg.

I live in Italy and while still water is available most people opt for acqua frizzante/acqua gassata which are the two names for carbonated water. It really is incredibly refreshing, has natural minerals, and definitely feels more hydrating. It's also good for people trying to wean themselves off soda and drink more H2O.
-
One of the best things about this dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he uploads something. He always respects us, the audience, and he is always full of energy in his videos. Keep up the hard work!!
-
I'm so happy to find this information. I have been drinking carbonated water that has a little natural fruit flavor in it--no salt, sugar, or anything else, and wasn't sure if it was healthy to do that or not. I'm so glad to learn that it's okay.
-
Yes, so glad we can do carbonated water! When I'm craving a soda, this is my go to! It is so refreshing and I can drop in lemon, lime, or other fruit to make my own natural soda.
