5 Dehydrating Foods That Can Make You Dizzy

Hold the Pickles: If you’re eating these 5 foods, water may not be enough to stay properly hydrated…

Dr. Chad Walding, DPT

NativePath Co-Founder

Are you experiencing occasional bouts of dizziness upon standing?


Or maybe you find yourself regaining your balance on countertops and walls more than you used to?


Even if you’re drinking water consistently throughout the day…


New research reveals that many so-called “healthy” foods may be dehydrating your body…


And potentially triggering dizzy spells without you ever knowing it.


But that’s not all…


A review of studies from researchers at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, found even mild dehydration can decrease cognitive functions like concentration, alertness, short-term memory, and psychomotor skills!

Which is why you need to see the top 5 foods most people don’t realize are triggering fluid loss…


Plus, I’ll share how the US Army discovered a little-known hydration nutrient that can help flood your cells in as little as 2 hours!


But first let’s cover the top 5 dehydrating foods you need to avoid, like the plague.

Dehydrating Food #1: Asparagus 

While asparagus is loaded with essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and folic acid, it also contains high levels of asparagine, which is a diuretic. This means if you’re eating large amounts of asparagus, it can trigger your body to produce more urine, causing you to expel more hydrating fluid than you would with other veggies. 

Dehydrating Food #2: Sugar-Free Gum 

Many people think “sugar-free” means it’s healthy. But in nearly every situation, this is not the case. Instead of sugar, most sugar-free gums contain a sugar alcohol called sorbitol. If you’re chewing gum with sorbitol on a regular basis, this can cause diarrhea, which means a large loss of water and hydrating minerals that you need for optimal hydration. 

Dehydrating Food #3: Artichokes

Similar to asparagus, this “sneaky shriveler” contains high amounts of the diuretic asparagine. But artichokes are also loaded with beneficial nutrients like fiber! So as long as you’re not eating multiple artichokes a day, they shouldn’t mess with your hydration status. 

Dehydrating Food #4: Deli Meat

Deli meats are great for convenience, but they have multiple downsides. The World Health Organization warns that these processed meats are carcinogenic, which is a MAJOR reason to avoid them. But deli meats are also loaded with sodium and occasionally sugar! This combo is the perfect reason to skip the deli meats and opt for fresh, grass-fed, pasture-raised meat when you have the option. 

Dehydrating Food #5: Pickles

A pickle spear is a delicious, refreshing side to your favorite sandwich, but when eaten too frequently, it can cause dehydration. That’s because pickles are high in salt (thanks to that delicious brine), which can disrupt your delicate electrolyte balance when not paired with a balancing counterpart like potassium. You can opt for sweet pickles, which contain slightly less sodium, or make sure to pair your pickle with a hydrating drink.

Occasional headaches and dizzy spells are only the first signs of dehydration.

The brain and heart are composed of 73% water…


The lungs are about 83%...


Your skin contains 64% water…


Muscles and kidneys are 79%...


And bones 31%.


Meaning dehydration can affect nearly every bodily function!

Things like occasional:

  • Dizziness
  • Feeling lightheaded
  • Dry mouth & bad breath 
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • & Brain fog

…are all major indicators that you may not be getting enough fluid. 


And these are not symptoms you want to ignore…

A 2023 study found dehydration can make you look and feel older than you are!

Do you know how old you are? 


According to new studies, researchers have discovered there are actually two answers to that question…


The obvious one is your chronological age: the number of birthdays you’ve had. 

But there’s also your biological age, which is how old your cells are. 

And we now know hydration can have a big impact on your biological age. 


A study published in January 2023 found an imbalance in fluid levels was linked to…


Up to 50% higher odds of your biological age being older than your chronological age!

This means ignoring signs of imbalanced fluid levels could result in looking and feeling much older than you actually are!

But these researchers also found that those with proper hydration are…


Healthier overall and live longer than those who may not be getting sufficient fluids!


You can see how fluid levels can have life-altering effects. 

And how achieving optimal hydration could be the solution to minimizing headaches, supporting balance, AND adding healthy, vibrant years to your life!


But there’s one problem…


Proper hydration isn’t determined solely based on water levels in the body…

Water alone isn’t enough if you’re over 60!

You see, kidney function naturally declines at a rate of about 1% every year, starting at the age of 50. 


As this happens, vital minerals that are responsible for regulating muscle and nerve function can be lost.


On top of that, levels of stomach acid decrease, making these minerals harder to absorb…


Muscle strength naturally declines.…


And thirst signals diminish…


So there’s a lot standing between you and proper hydration. 


Luckily, we now have a solution.


A simple way to increase hydration so you can clear your head...


Regain your balance…  


And look, feel, and act years younger!

Thanks to brilliant researchers at the US Army, we now know the #1 water for men and women over the age of 60. 

In 2016, UK researchers developed a formula to determine the hydrating powers of different beverages…


There have been dozens of studies on this hydrating formula, but Army researchers caught a MAJOR flaw in each one… 


Nearly all of the volunteers were under the age of 30. 


And the people like you who could benefit most from proper hydration slipped through the cracks!


But these military researchers have your back. 


They teamed up with brilliant minds from The Penn State Department of Kinesiology and recruited 24 volunteers.

Half of the volunteers were aged 20-26, and the other half aged 61-73. 


The younger group was most hydrated after a high-sodium drink - similar to Gatorade or other common electrolyte sports drinks. 

For the group aged 61-73 hydration improved in as little as 2 hours after consuming a drink with amino acids! 

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. 


And there are 8 essential amino acids that are necessary to grow and repair body tissue, support brain function, and sustain a normal digestive system.


But what most people don’t realize is…

Amino acids are mission-critical for the absorption and storage of fluids!

Studies show when amino acid levels increase, so does water absorption!


They stimulate the small intestine to absorb more water and essential minerals that are necessary for muscle and nerve control!


And now thanks to the brilliant minds at the US Army, we now know…


Amino acids are the missing link to optimal hydration for men and women over 60. 


Which is why this could be life-changing for anyone struggling with symptoms of dehydration.


Imagine no longer waking up multiple times a night to aches and pains… 

And feeling confident and fully present at social gatherings because you know your balance is supported. 


Plus, you feel younger, stronger, and more independent than you have in years!


You can have all of that thanks to this incredible Army study. 

But that’s just the start…


There are three amino acids that are critical to prevent weakening muscles… 


They’re called branched-chain amino acids and are leucine, isoleucine, and valine.


Studies show they can make you feel like age is truly just a number.


Participants with weakening muscles who supplemented with branched-chain amino acids saw…


A significant increase in walking speed and handgrip strength!


In another study, 42 men and women over the age of 70 saw supplementing with branched-chain amino acids can…

Improve walking speed and strengthen respiratory muscles in just 13 weeks! 

If you’re dreading the day when you can’t get up from a chair without help… 


Or not being able to keep up with your loved ones on a leisurely walk… 


Amino acids are a proven way to maintain your strength and endurance.


You can see how supporting proper hydration with amino acids can keep you strong and resilient for years to come!


But there’s even more…

Boost circulation to minimize swelling and lose water weight!

Do you feel like you can’t lose weight no matter how much you cut calories?


If you’re dehydrated, it could be water weight! You see when your body is lacking fluid, the kidneys go into panic mode and start holding on to excess water, which builds up in surrounding tissues. 


This can trigger poor blood circulation,puffiness in the face and around the eyes, and stubborn weight that you just can’t lose. 


Luckily, simply improving hydration is a quick and simple solution! 


One study found women who consumed more water for just 8 weeks saw a decrease in body weight, BMI, and minimized appetite.


But there could be another cause behind your swelling

Support a healthy inflammation response in as little as 30 days for reduced pain and minimized effects of aging!

If you struggle with occasional swelling in your feet and legs…


Joint, back, hip, or neck pain… 

Amino acids can help with that too! 


Swelling and pain are often the result of excess inflammation in the body. 


In one study, patients aged 66-78 with inflammatory pain were given the most abundant amino acid in the body, called l-glutamine. 

And after just 30 days, their bodies inflammation response significantly improved!


Experts believe inflammation is at the root of many health issues,so it’s no surprise that studies show amino acids and proper hydration can:

  • Reverse total body weakness 36%
  • Strengthen muscles 35%
  • Boost physical performance 20%
  • Significantly improve liver health
  • Protect against age-related memory loss


So you can be Army-strong well into your golden years!

The second I discovered these incredible benefits, I knew I had to get it in your hands…

My name is Dr. Chad Walding, Senior Nutrition Expert, and Doctor of Physical Therapy for over a decade.


Over the years I’ve had dozens of patients come to me feeling hopeless and frustrated about brain fog, occasional headaches, and dizzy spells when they stand up…

But more importantly, I’ve seen people achieve incredible results with the strengthening powers of amino acids. 


People who’ve gone from avoiding hesitating upon standing out of fear of a dizzy spell…


Retake control and get their lives back.


Which is why this Army-discovered trick is the only water you should be drinking to 

reverse total body weakness by 36%!


So you no longer have to go through life feeling helpless or frail… 


And you can finally enjoy quality time with your loved ones...


That’s why I went searching for the perfect source of amino acids for my patients to achieve optimal hydration.

Since amino acids are the building blocks of protein, I started with protein-rich food like beef, poultry, and eggs.


But you’d have to eat A LOT of these foods in order to get the amount of amino acids you need to restore hydration.


And it’s no secret inflation has taken one of the biggest tolls on these foods in particular!

I quickly realized it would cost a fortune to incorporate large amounts of them into your diet.


Not to mention, these foods are missing another key element you need to restore hydration: Proper amounts of sodium.


Sodium is an electrolyte, and electrolytes are like the delivery drivers of hydration.

Without electrolytes, all the hydrating powers of the Army-discovered water can’t flood your system.

Now I’m sure someone as health-conscious as yourself is wondering…


Isn’t sodium bad?


And you’re not wrong. 


While you need sodium to deliver fluid throughout your body, excess sodium can have dire effects on your cholesterol, blood pressure, and overall heart health. 


It’s a delicate balance…

And every hydration drink I found is loaded with sodium, added sugars, and artificial flavorings…


They’re made for athletes to replenish hydration loss while breaking a sweat… 


Or college kids trying to cure a hangover.


Not for someone as health-conscious as you looking to stay strong and independent as you age.

Nearly every electrolyte drink contains too much sodium for people over 60.

You’ve seen how researchers have ignored people in your age group for years when it comes to hydration. 


So I can’t say I was surprised to discover a lack of high-quality hydration drinks for people over 60.


But thanks to the brilliant researchers at The US Army, I was armed with the knowledge needed to create my own!


In fact, it's a MUST-HAVE for anyone like yourself who refuses to sit back and accept the frustrating signs of aging…


Because you deserve to live confidently and worry-free.

So, how much Native Hydrate do you need to take in order to reap its benefits?

In the breakthrough Army study, participants consumed 33 ounces of amino acid and electrolyte water to achieve optimal hydration. 


Which is why we recommend 1-3 servings of Native Hydrate daily, morning or night (or both). 


Some studies show that many benefits, such as energy and mental clarity can be noticed in just a few days after correcting your hydration. 


That said, the benefits of Native Hydrate’s strengthening powers are only truly realized when they’re taken day-after-day and month-after-month.


Simply put, amino acids and electrolytes are no “miracle supplement”... 

Hydration supplements like these only work if you...

  • Take it on a consistent daily basis. Simply take one serving up to 3 times daily.
  • Take the right amount for the results you want. By taking at least one serving every day, you’re giving your cells the hydration boost they need to clear your head, restore balance, and so much more.
  • Take it for the proper amount of time. Studies show that as you consistently meet your hydration needs, the greater your health will be.


In other words, adding a little bit of amino acids and electrolytes into your diet here and there isn’t going to cut it. 


Consistency is key. 


You need to make sure you’re getting enough into your diet every single day.


Which is why I recommend my clients to:

  • Start with at least 3 jars of Native Hydrate at a time.
  • And 6 jars if they want to be completely safe. (Our 6 jar supply brings the price per jar down to only $28 instead of the full retail price of $50! – plus, you’ll never have to worry about running out.)
  • Then take it every single day.


And there’s never been a better time to secure your supply of our premium hydration formula than now…


Because so many studies show that meeting your hydration requirements consistently yields the greatest results…


We wanted as many people as possible to have access to this powerful supplement.


That’s why my NativePath team and I went to great lengths to secure a surplus of our Native Hydrate powder to offer our deepest discount offer yet.
