Both the spleen and stomach are digestive organs of the human body, and the spleen controls water and dampness. Stomach is the "sea of water and valley" and "source of qi and blood", and it is the basis of maintaining normal metabolism of human body. "All diseases are caused by the decline of the spleen and stomach", which shows that the bad spleen and stomach is the root of the disease! So if you want to exercise, you must first strengthen your spleen and stomach!
The spleen and stomach are the masters of Shui Gu, and they are responsible for the transportation and transformation of water and dampness, which is bound to be inseparable from water. Therefore, if you want to regulate the spleen and stomach, drinking water is essential. However, drinking water to strengthen the spleen and stomach cannot be blind, which also contains a lot of knowledge. How to drink water correctly?

Except for ...
In addition to the choice of drinking water, we should also pay attention to the following good habits of drinking water.
Active drinking water
Many people only think of drinking water when they feel thirsty. In fact, it is unscientific to do so. Studies have found that people feel thirsty when they lose 2% of their weight, but at this time, the human body is already in a state of mild dehydration. So, don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water, but develop a good habit of drinking water actively!
Take a sip and drink slowly.
Pay attention to eating slowly, and drinking water is also the most suitable for slow drinking! For example, some people drink water quickly and often pour the whole glass of water into their stomachs in one breath. This habit is harmful to their stomachs. Drinking water too fast and too fierce will inevitably swallow a lot of air together, causing excessive burden on the stomach and intestines, and then symptoms such as hiccups, bloating and abdominal pain will appear.
Get a glass of water early.
Drinking a glass of water after getting up in the morning has been recognized as a good way to keep healthy and strengthen the stomach, because getting up early with a glass of water can replenish the water lost at night and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis; It can also stimulate appetite, promote digestion and absorption of food and prevent indigestion.
Clever hydration before meals
Drinking water half an hour before meals can not only avoid diluting digestive juice, but also ensure that the stomach secretes enough digestive juice when eating, which will arouse appetite and promote digestion and absorption. In addition, when drinking water on an empty stomach before meals, water can be quickly absorbed into the blood, thus ensuring the water content of the whole body cells and avoiding thirst due to excessive salt intake during meals.
Don't drink water
As early as a few decades ago, China advocated not drinking raw water and boiled water, mainly because raw water contains microorganisms harmful to human body, and people are prone to digestive tract infectious diseases such as acute gastroenteritis and dysentery after drinking it. If the water is boiled, most bacteria and viruses can be killed, chlorine and some harmful substances in the water can be evaporated, and the nutrients in the water can be retained.
