Too much water is not good
"Water Intoxication Is Diluting Your Electrolytes, Damaging Your Kidneys & Lowering Your Stomach Acid."
"20 Years Ago No One Carried Water Bottles Everywhere With Them & No One Had Electrolyte Deficiency."
Excessive water intake dilutes electrolytes, strains kidneys & stresses adrenal glands.
True cellular hydration happens through metabolism, not just by drinking water. Hydration on a cellular level requires crucial unrefined minerals like potassium, sodium & magnesium to enter the cell wall. Listen to your body—drink when thirsty, including unrefined mineral sea salt to water for proper hydration.
Avoid drinking with meals which dilutes stomach acid. Drinking liquids during meals can lead to bloating, indigestion & nutrient malabsorption.
Your stomach likes to maintain an acidity level of 1 to 1.5 on the pH scale (2nd highest stomach acidity next to vultures), which break down proteins, stimulates the release of digestive enzymes & absorption of vitamins.
But when you drink during meals, you slow down the entire process, water has a pH of 7, which leads to bloating & acid reflux.
Too much water creates dilution of your electrolytes in your blood & damage to your adrenals that depend on those electrolytes. So you end up in greater stress & it becomes a vicious cycle for the health 'set point' of your kidneys.
Gradually break free from the habit of constant hydration for healthier balance and real cellular wellness. Slowly break your water addiction to whatever your body tells you it needs when you're thirsty. Drink when thirsty & rehydrate with water & crucial minerals during times of high heat & perspiration.

smoking and Dental Implants
Can I have dental implants if I smoke?
March 17, 2025
Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. However, if you are a smoker, you may be wondering: Can I have dental implants if I smoke? Smoking is known to have negative effects on oral health, and it can impact the success of dental implant procedures. In this article, we’ll explore how smoking affects dental implants, potential risks, and what you can do to improve your chances of a successful outcome.
How Does Smoking Affect Dental Implants?
Smoking impacts dental implants in several ways, increasing the risk of complications before, during, and after the procedure. Here are the main concerns:
1. Delayed Healing
Smoking restricts blood flow, reducing oxygen supply to the gums and bones. This slows down the healing process after implant surgery, making it harder for the implant to integrate with the jawbone—a process known as osseointegration.
2. Higher Risk of Infection
Tobacco use weakens the immune system, making it easier for bacteria to cause infections in the gums and around the implant site. Peri-implantitis, a severe infection around dental implants, is more common in smokers and can lead to implant failure.
3. Increased Implant Failure Rates
Studies show that smokers have a significantly higher rate of implant failure compared to non-smokers. The lack of proper healing, combined with infection risks, increases the likelihood that the implant will not integrate properly or may become loose over time.
4. Gum Recession and Bone Loss
Smoking contributes to gum recession and bone loss, both of which are crucial for supporting dental implants. If there is insufficient bone, the implant may not be stable, leading to long-term complications.
Can Smokers Still Get Dental Implants?
Yes, smokers can still get dental implants, but they need to take extra precautions to improve their chances of success. Here are some recommendations:
1. Quit Smoking Before and After Surgery
Dentists recommend quitting smoking at least one to two weeks before surgery and refraining from smoking for at least two to three months after to allow for proper healing.
2. Practice Excellent Oral Hygiene
Brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash daily can help reduce the risk of infection and gum disease.
3. Attend Regular Dental Check-Ups
Regular visits to your dentist will ensure that your implant and overall oral health are monitored closely, allowing for early detection of any issues.
4. Consider Smoking Cessation Programs
If quitting smoking completely seems difficult, talk to your dentist or doctor about smoking cessation programs that can help you reduce or eliminate tobacco use.
Alternative Options for Smokers
If smoking cessation is not an option, your dentist might recommend alternative tooth replacement solutions, such as:
Dental bridges (fixed prosthetics that don’t require implants)
Partial dentures (removable alternatives that don’t require surgery)
Conclusion
So, can you have dental implants if you smoke? The answer is yes, but smoking significantly increases the risk of complications and implant failure. The best way to ensure long-term success is to quit smoking before and after the procedure, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and follow your dentist’s recommendations. If you’re considering dental implants and are a smoker, consult your dentist to discuss the best approach for your situation.
