Some main points about drinking water.💧💧💧

Drinking plenty of water is good for your health. This is well known. But there
are some precautions when drinking water. In some cases, drink plenty of water. In some cases, you should drink less water. In some cases, you should not drink water. And you can add some honey, lemon, etc. to the water, which can have other effects.

You can drink a glass of boiled water when you wake up in the morning, which can help with bowel movements.

After a night of sleep, your body metabolizes a lot of water when you wake up in the morning. Drinking about 450 ml of boiled water at this time can not only help defecation, maintain blood vessels, but also have certain benefits in preventing colds, pharyngitis and certain skin diseases.

Drinking boiled water before bathing can protect blood vessels.

The skin wicks away perspiration when taking a hot bath. This causes the body to lose water. If you don't hydrate in time, it is easy to develop hypotension, causing dizziness, collapse and fainting. If the body loses too much water at once, it is easy to cause the blood viscosity to increase. For some people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, there is also a risk of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. Drinking a glass of about 200 ml of plain water before bathing can store water for the body to prevent loss of water during bathing.

Drink warm boiled water before going to bed to prevent gout attacks.

In winter, some people will turn on the heating to sleep. This will make the indoor air more and more drier. Therefore, drinking a glass of boiled water before going to bed can moisturize the respiratory tract, which is especially important for people with respiratory diseases. Furthermore, gout attacks often occur at night. Drinking a glass of water before going to bed can also reduce the concentration of uric acid and prevent gout attacks.

👇However, in some cases you should not drink water.

When taking some medicines, you should not drink water.

In most cases, drink water when taking medicine. However, some drugs are special. Drinking more water will not only reduce their efficacy, but may also induce drug-induced diseases. The following types of drugs are common:

• Some medicines for stomach ulcers: Some medicines for gastric ulcers are either swallowed directly without drinking water, or chewed and swallowed dry, or only a very small amount of water is required for the medicine to be swallowed into the stomach. After these drugs enter the stomach, they will form a dense protective film covering the damaged (already ulcer) gastric mucosa to protect that gastric wall.
• Some cough medicine, cough syrup: In order to improve the efficacy of the medicine, the cough suppressant is specially made into a thicker shape, so that the medicine can adhere to the inflamed throat after taking it, and directly act on the diseased part, thereby playing an anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effect. If you drink plenty of water, it will flush out the active ingredients of the cough medicine sticking to the throat and trachea, reducing the therapeutic effect.
• Antiangina drugs: When taking it, you should chew the tablet directly, put it under the tongue, and do not drink water. Because the capillaries under the tongue are rich, they can quickly absorb into the blood and exert the effect of medicine. Do not swallow and do not drink water after it has been sublingual.

The drug instructions have detailed usage and you should read it carefully before taking the drug and take it as required.

It is not recommended to drink water during exercise or just after exercise.

Many people drink a lot of water immediately after exercising, but this is actually bad for their health. During exercise, the functional status of each organ is adjusted. Organs related to exercise energy, such as the heart and lungs will be strengthen, the digestive and absorption functions of the gastrointestinal tract will be relatively weakened, and the rate of gastric emptying will decrease. Therefore, drinking a lot of water quickly at this time can easily cause water retention in the stomach. This can cause discomfort such as bloating, stomach pain, and nausea, and the burden on the kidneys and heart will also increase. Moreover, sodium is lost with sweat when sweating. If you drink a lot of water but do not pay attention to sodium supplementation, it is easy to cause hyponatremia. Severe hyponatremia can cause brain edema and pulmonary edema, damage the function of the brain and lungs, and even cause death. 

It is recommended to drink 400-600 ml of plain boiled water 1 to 2 hours before exercise, in divided doses. During exercise, if you feel thirsty, you can refill 100-200 ml every 15-30 minutes. Rehydration drinks should contain less than 6% sugar. If the exercise time is longer than 1 hour, it should also contain 0.5 to 0.7 grams per liter of sodium.

How much water should people drink every day?

Under normal circumstances, a normal adult needs 3000 ml of water per day. Through food, such as soup, vegetables and fruits, you can consume about 1000ml, and the rest needs to be supplemented by drinking water. Therefore, an average adult needs to drink about 2000 ml of water per day. In addition, drink plenty of water if you exercise a lot and sweat a lot.

The water temperature should not be too high.

Too cold or hot water is not good for your health. Drinking too hot water often can damage the esophagus and cause serious cancer. If the water temperature is too low, it will irritate the intestines and stomach. It can cause rapid contraction of gastric mucosal blood vessels, which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even diarrhea, especially for those with weak stomachs.

It is recommended that when the weather is hot, the water temperature can be close to room temperature. When the weather is cold, the water temperature can be slightly higher, but it should not exceed 40°C.
