First, warm water

Someone must have said that it is so hot in summer that you still need boiled water. Is this adding fuel to the fire? In fact, on the one hand, the intake of cold drinks will suddenly make the gastrointestinal mucosa cold, make the originally unobstructed capillaries contract, make the smooth muscles spasm, and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or colic or even diarrhea. On the contrary, some people like drinking boiled water. Overheated diet will damage esophageal mucosa and stimulate mucosal hyperplasia, which has been the conclusion of medical circles.

Therefore, the temperature of drinking water should not be too hot or too cold, and the most suitable temperature is 10-30 degrees Celsius.

Second, sip the water.

When thirsty, many people are used to gulping water. As we all know, this way of drinking water is not good for your health. Small amount, multiple times and slow drinking are three basic principles. First, drinking a lot of water at one time will quickly dilute the blood and increase the burden on the heart. After the exercise, this situation became more serious.

Secondly, when sweating heavily in hot days, overeating will increase the amount of perspiration reflexively, further increasing the loss of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, so people tend to drink more and more thirsty.

Third, drinking too fast and too hard will swallow a lot of air together, which is easy to cause hiccups or bloating. A reasonable way to drink water is to put a mouthful of water in your mouth and slowly swallow it several times, which can fully moisten your mouth and throat and effectively relieve your thirst.

Third, how much water to drink varies from person to person.

Normal and healthy people can judge when to replenish more water by urine color: the normal urine color should be light yellow, and if the color is too dark, it should be supplemented with water; If the color is light, there may be too much water.

For patients, drinking water needs to vary from person to person. For example, patients with heart disease should drink more water every day when coronary artery blood supply is insufficient to avoid myocardial infarction due to high blood viscosity. However, when patients have heart failure, they should not drink too much water. Because drinking too much water will increase the burden on the heart and lead to aggravation of the disease. To avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys, patients with acute nephritis and renal failure should not drink too much water. When people catch a cold and have a fever, the water lost in the respiratory tract is more than usual. In addition, the temperature of fever increases, and the water evaporated from the skin also increases, so it is necessary to replenish water appropriately.

Fourth, you are thirsty and can't drink water.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended not to be thirsty and not to drink water, because when you feel thirsty, your body has lost at least 1% water, and the thirst center has sent out a distress signal, so you should take the initiative to drink water.

If you are afraid of being too busy to forget to drink water, you can bring a cup when you go out, and prepare more cups at home or in the office, and drink a little when you see it.
