7 Common Mistakes When Drinking Water Daily

Water makes up more than 70% of the human body and determines life and health. Yet many people do not drink water correctly. Quite a few habits that seem harmless in fact become “traps” affecting skin, digestion systems and even cardiovascular health. Let’s review the seven mistakes that many people fall into.

1. Only drinking water when you feel thirsty

Thirst is a sign the body has already begun to lose balance. If you wait until you’re thirsty to drink, your body is already dehydrated. This affects blood circulation, lowers ability to concentrate and causes the skin to lose moisture rapidly.

Solution: Drink water on a schedule, segment your intake throughout the day, don’t wait for your body to “speak” before responding.

2. Drinking too much water at once

A common habit is “catching up” with lots of water when you remember you haven’t been drinking. However, consuming a large volume of water over a short time puts pressure on the kidneys, dilutes digestive fluids, and prolonged this may lead to low blood sodium.

Solution: Instead of drinking 500 ml–1 litre at once, sip small amounts regularly throughout the day.

3. Over-using cold water

A glass of iced water might cool you instantly but if used regularly, overly cold water causes blood vessels to contract, affects digestion, and may cause sore throat or stomach discomfort.

Solution: The ideal water temperature is between 10-30 °C. Naturally cool water is easier to drink and gentle on the stomach.

4. Skipping drinking water after waking up

After 6-8 hours of sleep, the body has lost a significant amount of water through respiration and elimination. Many people skip the habit of drinking water in the morning, which slows blood circulation and reduces liver and kidney function.

Solution: A refreshing glass of AVIA 3A right after waking “restarts” the body, aids cleansing and stimulates metabolism.

5. Drinking water right after a heavy meal

Many believe drinking water after a meal helps digestion. The reality is that this dilutes stomach acid, forces the stomach to work harder and makes you more prone to bloating and indigestion.

Solution: Drink water 30 minutes before meals and at least 1 hour after meals for optimal digestion.

6. Using sweet drinks instead of plain water

Soft drinks, bubble tea or energy drinks cannot replace natural water. The sugar and additives in these beverages burden the liver, easily lead to weight gain and other health issues.

Solution: Drink AVIA 3A to supply necessary minerals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

7. Not paying attention to the quality of the water source

The biggest mistake is assuming “all water is the same.” In reality, water quality directly impacts long-term health. Unsafe water carries risks to digestion, liver, kidneys and skin.

Solution: Choose a safe water source that meets international standards. AVIA 3A is drawn from a deep groundwater aquifer, evaluated by Israeli experts as one of the Top 3 tastiest water sources in Hanoi, offering a naturally light sweetness and trusted daily by millions of Vietnamese.

Drinking water seems simple yet gets it wrong and it affects health more than you expect. The key is to maintain scientific drinking habits: sufficient quantity – right timing – the right type. AVIA 3A is proud to accompany you in the health journey starting from the smallest things!
