This is your period. Drink more hot water.

In recent years, drinking more hot water has become the wealth vocabulary of China population. However, whenever people around you have minor ailments and pains, it is right to use drinking more hot water as the first sentence to express concern.

Drinking more hot water is so popular in China that even under normal circumstances, your parents may tell you to drink more hot water.

Drinking more hot water is similar to an English proverb in China: an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Drinking more hot water is like an apple a day, which is a unique secret of China people. Because whether traveling abroad or watching movies and TV works in other countries, everyone will find that foreigners have been drinking cold water, and even it seems that only China people in the world like to drink hot water. Why?

The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:

eating habits

Eating habits vary greatly in different regions. Sashimi culture prevails in Japan and other countries, while China people traditionally eat hot food three times a day, and generally do not give priority to cold food.

Coupled with the historical origin of tea culture in China, many families have the habit of drinking tea, and tea is brewed with boiled water, so compared with foreigners, the probability of China people being exposed to hot water in their diet is obviously higher.

Historical reasons

Ancient medical technology was relatively backward, and people were easily attacked by some tiny bacteria and viruses, but they could not be treated in time, or even the cause could not be found.

Because raw water contains all kinds of impurities and bacteria harmful to human body, some people with weak resistance are likely to have diarrhea and other diseases when drinking raw water frequently, so drinking water after boiling is certain to protect people's health.

In addition, in the 1950s, considering this health problem, the state called on us not to drink raw water directly, and set up boiler rooms to boil water in many residential areas to encourage people to drink hot water.

technical matters

With the deepening of environmental pollution caused by industrial development, coupled with the earth's water circulation system, the global fresh water resources have suffered certain pollution problems, and the tap water quality supplied by some cities in China is not even up to standard.

In addition, the domestic water purification technology is still far from the foreign level, so boiling water before drinking is a responsible measure for your health.

Therefore, whether China people drink hot water or foreigners drink cold water, it is caused by their respective geographical environment, cultural customs and other reasons.

So, which is healthier to drink hot water or cold water?

Comparatively speaking, the obviously lower temperature of cold water will stimulate the gastric mucosa more easily, causing the human stomach to contract, thus causing some people to feel stomach discomfort, such as diarrhea. At this time, drinking hot water can relieve stomach discomfort, and a comfortable temperature can relax and stretch the stomach.

In addition, drinking cold water has certain risks for asthma patients, so drinking hot water is better for your health.

But people in China have problems drinking hot water. They will drink hot water. Many people know that whether it is food or water, the high temperature at the entrance will easily lead to oral mucosal ulceration, and even further burn the esophagus and gastric mucosa, which will greatly increase the possibility of esophageal cancer in these people for a long time.

Therefore, in comparison, I would suggest that drinking more warm water is more beneficial to your health!
