Editor's note: In the past, people asked: Have you ever drunk mountain spring water? Now people ask: Can you drink water? Drink water to quench your thirst, then taste fresh, and then keep healthy. As the saying goes, "a hundred kinds of rice breeds a hundred kinds of people", and now "a hundred kinds of water breeds a hundred kinds of people", rice breeds people and water educates people. The modern health-preserving technology of water has injected new connotation into "one side of water and soil and one side of people", and water culture is more modern because of scientific water.

In order to better introduce water health knowledge and help readers drink water and replenish water correctly, this edition will invite Chinese medicine experts to write articles once a week from this Wednesday, so please pay attention.

Jia Baoyu was only half right when he said that "women are made of water". Men are also made of water. All living things evolved from water. About 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water, and more than 70% of the human body's weight is also water. It can be seen that water is the source of life.

The performance of water producers is that people need water for all kinds of physiological activities, and water plays a key role in human metabolism. Without food, only water can life continue, and if it is short of water for a long time, it will soon wither. Water can dissolve various nutrients, fats and protein. And becomes a colloidal state suspended in water to be absorbed; Water flows between blood vessels and cells, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and cells, and then discharging metabolic waste, which is called detoxification and beauty.

Water can also regulate body temperature. When the weather is hot, people will sweat, that is, water evaporation will take away some heat to cool down. When it is cold, water stores a lot of heat, so the body temperature will not fluctuate obviously because of the change of external temperature. In addition, water is a lubricant, which moistens the skin and lubricates joints, eyes and mouth.

Chinese medicine believes that water is slightly cold and sweet, but it can also vary with the ambient temperature. For example, the spring water is cold and hot for a long time. According to different tastes, it can be divided into rain, dew, winter frost, wax snow, Xia Bing, earthquake water, solar water and rock spring water.
