Vietnam health advice warns of rapid urination after drinking water and risks of sugarcane‑durian drinks

Health specialists explain that needing to urinate shortly after drinking water is usually a normal physiological response, not a sign of kidney weakness. The urge can appear quickly when a person drinks a large amount at once, is already well‑hydrated, is in cold or air‑conditioned environments, or is experiencing stress. Experts advise drinking according to thirst, monitoring urine colour and avoiding excessive rapid intake; keeping the lower abdomen warm and setting room temperature above roughly 24 °C can also reduce the sensation.

A separate warning concerns the popular sugarcane‑durian juice. While the beverage provides minerals, vitamins and fiber, a single 350‑500 ml serving contains 300‑500 kcal and a high sugar load. Regular consumption of two to three glasses a day can overburden the pancreas, promote insulin resistance, increase visceral fat and raise the risk of type‑2 diabetes. Drinking the sweet, fatty mix on an empty stomach may cause a rapid blood‑sugar spike followed by a crash, leading to dizziness and fatigue. The advice is to limit intake, avoid replacing water with the drink and not consume it on an empty stomach.
