6 common mistakes people make while drinking water:
1. Drinking too much water
Drink water when you're thirsty. Drinking too much water can even cause dehydration. If you are prone to kidney stones, drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid a day. Different factors determine how much water you need, but it's important not to have too much.
2. Drinking water too quickly
When you drink water too fast, it can create swelling.
3. Drinking the wrong fluids
Not all fluids hydrate you. Some can even dehydrate you.
4. Drinking while eating
This can weaken your ability to digest foods, especially protein, and could lead to GERD or acid reflux. If you drink while eating, don't overdo it. It may be better to have something to drink 30 minutes before or after a meal.
5. Drinking cold water
Drinking large amounts of very cold water may inhibit the vagus nerve, which is responsible for digestion. This may be more of an issue for those who already have digestive issues.
6. Drinking tap water
There are chemicals and very small plastics in tap water that are not safe for the body. Get a good water filter to filter that out.

This is precisely why it’s so difficult to be healthy. Even drinking water is soooo complicated.
@Thunder Man I hear you, but the amount of caffeine in most diet sodas is nowhere near high enough to negate all the water in the soda. Would you remain more hydrated drinking the same volume of water as the bottle of coke zero, without any caffeine? Absolutely. However, if one were to drink a bunch of bottles of coke zero every day (which I am definitely NOT recommending), that alone is not going to make them dehydrated. I think the better argument is to drink more water for hydration, along with lemons or limes, and to get plenty of potassium and magnesium, and you will be far more hydrated and energized than someone who drinks a bunch of diet sodas.
@Paul I do not disagree with you, I was merely pointing to what Dr. Berg said. For the elderly or otherwise health compromised, drinking more water is not always possible, so caffeine intake would need to be more closely monitored. That was my point.
Mate
Ikr!
Lmao 😂 right ?
Just wanted to say “Thank You” Dr Berg for the 6 things to remember when drinking water, it was truly thought provoking, and informative, God Bless you Dr. Berg!
Yep I had hyponatremia and it was horrible! My sodium levels dropped to 120 and gave my muscle spasms all over my body. Luckily the doctors at the emergency room gave me an IV bag with sodium and brought my levesl back up. Too much of anything can be bad for anyone.
A lot of people don’t know that Fluoride is found in many water sources naturally, so depending on your area, it may be a good idea to react some of it out before you drink.
I drink rain water, if its finished that’s when I buy distilled water. Tap water makes my stomach run
Yes, you can drink too much water. You can actually poison yourself with too much water. But it’s pretty hard to do, and it isn’t the problem most people have with water, which would be not drinking enough. The oft. cited 8-10 glasses a day certainly isn’t too much. For most people, if you just drink when you are thirsty you will be fine. But if you are constipated a lot, or are a senior citizen (especially one who isn’t very active), chances are good you aren’t drinking enough. Dehydration is a way bigger problem than over hydration.
@Jacob Black that I consider still crazy too. I drink only when I feel I want or need to drink 😀
@JOKER J2.0 sometimes I dont even drink a glass of water 😀 maybe just a sip after I broke my fast
@NonSense That just isn’t true
Remember the lady that past away from drinking too much water in one sitting? She was apart of a contest to win a Nintendo Wii at a Sacramento, Ca radio station. Horrible and sad
Very informative! I actually cannot drink cold water as easily as everyone else I prefer room temperature. Can you please make a video on how hot cold and warm water affects the body?
Same here
That’s ok warm water is taken into the body faster anyways, they never give cold water to someone who is dehydrated.
Hot water burn. Cold water feel cold
@TheNoobAlmighty I mean… you’re not wrong haha
@TheNoobAlmighty 🤣🤣🤣
I feel there is something important missing from point six.
The quality of tap water varies from location to location. As someone from Berlin, which has pretty good water quality, I was warned even as a child that I should not drink tap water when traveling in countries like the US. Even if it should count for every city in every country, it feels like this point was made way to generally, since it does not cover that.
I live in the US and I have not had tap water in over a year and neither has my dog. The sprayer on my kitchen sink cracked and I had to get a new one. I took it with me to the store to get a replacement. While I was showing it to a sales person it cracked open and there in the line where the water goes through was mud or what he called sludge. I decided then and there to never drink tap water again unless it was to save my life. Glad to know that my fears were not unfounded. My dog drinks bottled water too.
True
@Deborah Smith Get a filter. Bottled water is tap water. And the plastic problem.he mentioned is from all those plastic bottles. Don’t trade one problem for another.
@Michael Carlson :- 👍
My tap water is so clean and we boil it too. Oyibo drink alot of tap water
That #1 happened to me when I was in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. I can take 4-5 liters a day. So when I was in labor, I was also diagnosed of Hypokalemia. They made me limit my water intake and had 2 dextrose with NaCl and K, and drink meds with potassium
back then i thought it would be good if i drink lots of water since i was pregnant. it must be 8glasses a day
Dr. Berg is one of the most honest and best doctors out there. Appreciate him sharing his knowledge which was not co-opted by the system and him being independent. Coming from doctors family, my husband and I are extremely picky and selective with health information out there, but Dr. Berg is someone we both truly appreciate. Thank you, Dr. Berg for all you do.
Tap water really depends on your region. In places like Bermuda – rainwater is collected and stored by individual houses. It really comes down to how clean you keep your tank. Chlorine and Flouride – are practically none existent in the majority of tanks.
My older son drank to much water a month ago and landed up in the emergency room for depleted sodium in his blood. My wife and I also eat a lot of fruit and veggies/variety of salads to aid in our hydration. Great videos as always.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
One more thing that is very important. Drink spring water if you can. It’s not stripped of the mineral’s that are essential to optimal health. Look it up. It’s the best water you can drink. Distilled, purified not as good. Stay hydrated and have a good day.
Yo…..
Thank you Dr Berg. I’m more like a camel and have to remind myself to drink water but I’m also a pretty health aware person so I think I doing OK with water intake…This was very helpful
I’ve been drinking about a half gallon of pure distilled water per day for about a decade now. I feel great.
Great video.
Minor nitpick. Glyphosate is used in _Roundup_ brand herbicides. “Roundup Ready” describes GMO crops engineered to not be affected by Roundup, which allows farmers to spray their fields with abandon. Of course, we know where all that glyphosate ends up.
I’ve been studying natural medicine on my own, and using it, for 40 years. All of the points you have brought up in this video are valid, for sure. I cringe when I see someone gulp down a huge icy sodapop with a meal. The end result is a net loss of hydration, and ice-cold drinks deactivate digestive enzymes. And people wonder why they have digestive problems! And so they take an antacid, which only exacerbates the problem. Years ago my aged mother had a heart attack, and while in the hospital, she developed edema in her feet due to congestive heart failure. She was at Loyola Hospital in Maywood, and the chief cardiologist there put her on water restriction. For my mom, a big water drinker, this was like dying and going to hell. I spoke with the cardiologist, and told him that water restriction has the opposite effect because it causes the body to hoard water. I told him that she should have all the water she wants, and it should be distilled water because distilled water lowers the osmotic pressure in the intestines, which helps to draw off the excess water. But I knew he would not take that seriously. After all, he was brainwashed in medical school and therefore knew better. And so, I took it upon myself to visit my mom every evening. I brought distilled water, and gave her as much as she wanted. She drank like a fish. The edema vanished very quickly. I called the doctor from my job and asked him how things were going with my mom. He was very happy. He said the diuresis treatment was very successful, and her edema was gone. I said, “I know. Now, let me tell you why that happened.” He was speechless, and ended the call. This was back in October of 2003. Now, it is my understanding that the medical racket has changed its protocol for edema, and drinking lots of water is encouraged. I can’t help wonder if that overpaid idiot promoted that treatment modality and took credit for it.
WOW, that is awesome information!!
🤣🤣the ending👏🏾
They did this to my mother also. Dehydrating a person will definitely make your body hold water. I don’t understand why doctors restrict water when a person is having edema.
Very interesting…
I’m sure he did! Good on you for helping your Mom, and God bless her for participating. My elderly, co-morbid Mom won’t take my advice at all, and is so damn stubborn and brainwashed, she is literally killing herself, albeit very slowly.
So glad I found this. For so long I’ve tried to drink the amount of water your told you should drink daily and it makes me feel worse than if I drink when I’m thirsty and my body is telling me I need to do so. When I drink a lot , I have to pee a ridiculous amount of times, it’s frustrating. I feel better when I drink less anyway.
When I work outside in hot weather I always drink water with an electrolyte powder added that contains calcium, magnesium, sea salt and potassium. The way I gauge if I’m drinking enough water is by drinking enough water that I urinate at normal intervals , my urine is clear and I don’t get cotton (dry) mouth. If your urine is yellow and you have cotton mouth you are already dehydrated.
I’ve started taking electrolytes this morning (thanks to your advise) and what I’ve noticed so far is that I haven’t been hungry much today, having my first meal shortly (it’s now 16:20, UK). This is amazing! I usually feel hungry like, every 2 hours and eat far too much! Tried to fast recently however, that was just not happening, bearly lasted until lunchtime.
On average I drink 2.5-3 litres of water per day, drinking tonnes whilst I’m eating too, which I’ve now stopped or just take a sip if thirsty. I must’ve been flushing out too much electrolytes and that’s why I was constantly hungry. My body obviously was deficient in vital nutrients or minerals etc. I’m guessing anyway, I’m no doctor lol.
Thank you so much, will be watching a lot more of your videos 🙏🏻😁
Hey Julie, sup? How r ya doin?
Question: I take a lot of natural supplements with my meals, so I drink a glass of vinegar water with my meal. I always think of my kidney health, that I need water with the vitamins(?). Is that correct? Thanks for all of your fantastic videos!
This is true. I ended up in the ER emergency room because I drank so much water in a day. I was going crazy, and lost my senses. I was feeling really sleepy, but I knew if I did fall asleep I was not going to wake up again.
