Healthy drinking water in hot weather, keep in mind the two "do's" and "don'ts"
Don't think of drinking water when you're thirsty.
Dehydration can lead to a disorder of water metabolism and can cause or trigger a number of health problems. Causes symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, decreased physical and mental performance, exercise-induced asthma, hyperthermia, and circulatory collapse. Long-term mild dehydration can lead to fatigue, constipation, and a variety of more serious conditions. For children, if they don't have enough water intake for a long time, they may even become "stupid"! A survey found that children who were naturally dehydrated tended to have reduced auditory digital breadth, semantic flexibility, and image recognition.
Don't binge drink water
especially after a lot of exercise, many people, especially young people, like to pour ice water after exercise. This is actually very undesirable. First of all, drinking a large amount of ice water in a short period of time will bring a lot of stimulation and burden to the stomach. Secondly, what many people may not know is that gulping out will cause the stomach to expand rapidly, increasing the burden on the heart and kidneys. At the same time, when the human body sweats, it not only loses water, but also loses a large number of mineral elements, such as sodium. If a large amount of water enters the body quickly in a short period of time, and the mineral elements are not replenished in time, it may lead to hyponatremia, which is why in summer, it is necessary to drink light salt water after exercise to avoid losing too much sodium. So, in the summer, it is absolutely not advisable to overdrink because you are.
Drink small amounts of water every day and many times
due to differences in individual height, weight, age, and physical activity level, as well as differences in individual water needs. Everyone should constantly look for their optimal water intake. Generally speaking, the daily intake of adults is about 7 to 8 glasses of water. Drinking time should be allocated at any time of the day, and drinking water should be small and frequent times. Because drinking a large amount of water at one time will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, dilute the gastric juice, which not only reduces the bactericidal effect of gastric acid, but also hinders the digestion of food.
Relevant experts pointed out that some people have the habit of drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning, which is very good. Because of the hidden sweating and urine secretion during sleep, a lot of water is lost, and although there is no thirst after waking up, the blood in the body will still be viscous due to lack of water. Drinking a glass of water can reduce blood viscosity and increase blood circulation. You can also drink some water before going to bed, which is good for preventing the increase in blood viscosity at night.
Drink some warm water
In hot weather, many people like to drink ice water to cool down, but in fact, drinking warm water is more beneficial to the body. Warm water is more easily absorbed by the body, can quickly replenish the water lost by the body, and can also boost metabolism.
