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.

Can I just say that the only reason I have a YouTube account is because of Dr. Berg. I already tanked Facebook because of all it’s censorship and fake accounts promoting propaganda. I see the direction YouTube is going as well, but I’ve got to have my daily Dr. Berg video with my morning coffee. Everything else on YouTube I could certainly live without. Thank you Dr. Berg for educating me on true health and wellness. You are a valuable inspiration in my life!

I appreciate the fact that you label sections in your description, it shows you actually care about getting the information to the public. It means a lot, you also save us a lot of time by summarizing and not running on and baiting just to be heard. You’re one of the greats, keep it up 🙌🏾

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.

Mistakes in drinking water
1. Drinking too much depleting minerals
2. Drinking too fast, causing sodium imbalances
3. Drinking the wrong fluids. Coffee, tea are dehydrating
4. Drinking water with meals, keep low
5. Drinking a lot of cold water can slow down vagus nerve
6. Drinking tap water

"Mistakes we make while drinking water" Jesus F Christ, can I do ANYTHING right?!

Thanks Dr Berg, a subtle reminder always helps us😁. I’d pick water over any other drink, it’s the only one that satisfies my thirst. A lot of us don’t know what thirst is, as we mix it up with what we think is hunger. I always drink 500mls of water on waking, black tea with breakfast, 2 x cappuccino’s mid-morning, and the rest of the days it’s black tea and water. I use a jug filter (after off-gassing the chlorine; by leaving the water in a container without a lid, for half to an hour) and the jug is our guide to how much water we consume, and I think we are spot on. I also take an electrolyte supplement, along with vit D. I class us a pretty healthy, we always have plenty of veg, protein and especially as we are cutting out carbs and sugars. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge, I wish all doctors knew as much as you about nutrition!

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.

Thank you so much Dr Berg, I can see that you are one of few doctors who say as it being honest when it comes to our health keep on doing what you love to do by teaching some of us about health

6:41 - Tap water also tastes foul to me. Everyone always criticises me saying " all water tastes the same" when obviously it doesnt, especially if its got all sorts of chemicals in it.

[johncrow]

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.

[kelvinhayes]

I listen to Dr.Berg .His advice about illness that makes people feel bad is very helpful to fix. Thank you so much.

[ML-dhly]

This is so relevant to especially elderly woman who may have suffered with a UTI and then told to drink as much fluids as possible. My mother’s sodium fell dangerously low and then suffered from delirium because of an imbalance of electrolytes.. please be careful everyone

[jerin]

You are doing a wonderful job Dr. Berg. Imparting knowledge and creating awareness among the less fortunate ones like us. You are our guardian Angel🙏🙏

[karlapena]

Thank you for the truth Doctor. This is 1000% exact. I kept showing dehydrated even though I was in taking 100 oz 💧 water daily. Also, it got to where I was taking too much and my Weight Management doctor at Kaiser told me it was toxic. I personally appreciate you informing all the people who does not know what's right or wrong. You talking about ending with Gerd as well. Thank you for instructing all the people about such important information.

[schappiness]

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.

[moniquedennis]

This is so true about drinking to much water. A few years ago drinking to much water caused me to become severely dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. Come to find out my magnesium and potassium levels were extremely low, which caused accelerated heart rate. The water was acting as a diuretic and I was flushing out nutrients and not replenishing them with a supplement or vitamin. Thanks Dr. Berg for your videos!

[angiewilsonflores]

Thanks! You answered many questions I have had over many years. I've had countless so-called educated physicians tell me that it's just fine to drink Any fluids while having diarrhea & chronic mal-absorption and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency & slow bowel motility disorders!! I also struggle with Sjogren's Syndrome & a host of chronic pain & disabling medical conditions but I have found Very FEW medically trained doctors that can help without writing prescription....
I appreciate your information & knowledge 👍💯!

[mrnobodyinvr]
