Author: Allen Huang 2024-06-25
Our bodies need to take in quite a lot of water every day to maintain their functions. The following 10 points can help improve our drinking habits.
1. Drink a glass of warm water after getting up
Drinking water in the morning can dilute the blood, detoxify and moisturize the intestines. The morning is the time when you need to replenish water the most. After a whole night of "water fasting", the body has been losing water, so the body is in a state of dehydration at this time: blood volume decreases and blood viscosity increases. Drinking the first glass of water after getting up helps dilute the blood, help liver and kidney metabolism, and eliminate waste.
2: Want to lose weight: drink a glass of water before meals
Drinking water before meals can reduce hunger and reduce food intake.
3: Overeating: Drink hawthorn water or lemon water
If you eat too much or eat too much-fried food or high-fat food, you can drink some hawthorn water or lemon water, which can both refresh and reduce fat.
4: Eat too salty: Drink light soy milk or lemon water
If the food is too salty, it is best to drink more pure water or lemon water, and try not to drink yogurt. In addition, you can also choose light soy milk, which contains more potassium and is conducive to promoting the excretion of sodium.
5: When constipated, drink some honey water or fruit and vegetable juice
They are rich in fructose, and fruit and vegetable juice also has a lot of soluble dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis.
6: When you have a cold, drink a lot of water
People with infectious diseases such as colds and fevers, or patients with urinary tract inflammation or hyperuricemia should take the initiative to drink a lot of water. When people are anxious and irritable, the sympathetic nerves are excited, the body's metabolism is vigorous, and heat production increases. At this time, they also need to drink more water.
7: Diarrhea: Drink some light salt water
It can replenish the water and salt lost by the intestines and maintain the balance of electrolytes. However, people with poor heart function and kidney function and those with high blood pressure are not suitable for drinking light salt water.
8: Cold stomach: drink black tea, ginger sugar water
People with cold stomach should drink less cold green tea, herbal tea, and fruit juice, and can drink warm stomach black tea and ginger sugar water.
9: When using the computer: drink chrysanthemum tea
Office workers who often use computers and do not like to drink plain water can drink chrysanthemum tea, which is very beneficial for improving eye fatigue.
10: When exercising: drink water in small amounts and multiple times
When replenishing water during exercise, follow the principles of preventive replenishment and small amounts and multiple times. Replenish water before, during, and after exercise. This can avoid the burden of a large amount of water replenishment at one time on the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system. If the exercise time does not exceed 60 minutes, you can replenish pure water. If it exceeds 60 minutes, you should replenish sports drinks, etc.
