I have to watch medical news every morning, but there is not much good news. I feel heavy every time I finish reading it. Those lost lives have also strengthened my determination to work hard for human health. Today's news is "medical tragedy reappeared in Shenzhen, baby girl was transferred to hospital and died three times in August". A baby girl named Zhang Xinyi went to three hospitals in the morning because of heart failure, but was refused admission because there was no bed in the inpatient department of the hospital, and finally died because of ineffective rescue. On the surface, it is because the rescue is not timely. The deep-seated reason is that the hospital is full of patients and the medical resources are increasingly insufficient. The deeper reason is that people lack health knowledge and only pay attention to treatment but not health care. Why are there so many patients? Especially the number of children patients is incredible!
From the perspective of life, newborn babies and children have the strongest vitality. Their life journey has just begun, and all their physiological functions are rising. As long as it is not artificially destroyed by life for a long time, there will be no irreparable tragedy. At present, the first cause of children's illness is eating mistakes, the second is insufficient drinking water, and the third is improper or excessive treatment, especially the harm caused by taking medicine. Zhang Xinyi, a baby girl, died not because of the untimely rescue, but because of the ignorance of her parents. Because even if it is saved this time, it will be dangerous next time. The baby girl was born with congenital heart failure, but she lived for eight months, which proves that she is still alive. Her parents often go to the hospital to prescribe medicines and injections for their children. How many antibiotics can an eight-month life bear? The child has been sleeping during the morning medical treatment. At this time, the most important thing is to give the children water and summon the human body's own life potential, but there is no!
What is even more distressing is that tragedies like Xiao Zhang Xinyi are still being staged every day because of ignorance of life!
Drinking water in time every day and drinking enough water is the correct understanding and protection of life. We know that people can survive for 30 days by drinking water and not eating, but if they don't drink water for three days, their lives will be threatened. Why? The mechanism of the human body can regulate the nutrient supply for 30 days, but it can only regulate the water for 3 days. As long as a person's body water loss exceeds 15%, his life is in danger. Some people will say that people drink water as long as they are thirsty. Yes, but if people wait for thirst before drinking water, it is the same thing as going to the hospital for treatment when they are sick. At this time, the damage to the body has been formed, and the negative impact on the body function, quality of life and life span has become a fact.
Why is thirst already dehydration harmful to the body? I have analyzed before that the physiological functions of the human body are not managed by the brain. In the process of life evolution, the brain appeared relatively late. Breathing, blood pressure, heartbeat, digestion and water regulation are all controlled by autonomic nerves. For example, when we sleep, the brain loses consciousness, but the heart is still beating, the blood is still flowing, the breathing is still going on, and life is still going on in an orderly way. If these are controlled by the brain, it is conceivable that if the blood pressure is high, the brain will command the blood pressure to be lower, if the heart rate is slow, the brain will command the heart rate to be faster, and if the water content is reduced, the brain will inform the body to drink water. But this is not the case. Only when the body is seriously injured and affects its function, will the body transmit its feelings to the central nervous system, and the brain will get information and know how to replenish water. For example, if two farmers fight in a county, will the central government know? Of course, there is no need for the central authorities to know that if there is a large-scale conflict between hundreds of people in two villages, causing many deaths and injuries, then the central authorities will definitely know.
Thirst is a serious dehydration event for your body. Don't wait for thirst to replenish water. Drink water regularly every day. The first time I drank water was early in the morning. The first thing you do after getting up is to drink water. Drinking water in the morning is the most important hydration for the body. Because after a night's sleep, your body has lost a lot of water: your breathing, skin excretion and nocturia make you lose only 500 ml of water. Drink 500ml of cold boiled water before getting up, and 500ml after washing in the toilet. This is the water quantity for adults. If it is a child, it should be reduced as appropriate. At night, the internal organs of the body are self-repairing, and there are a lot of physiological wastes waiting to be discharged. Why do we always pee yellow for the first time in the morning? Because the concentration of waste in body fluids is very high. With water, there is a means of transportation to excrete waste, and body cleaning can be carried out smoothly. There's a reason why the secret of longevity of the Japanese elderly is a large glass of water in the morning.
The second hydration time is about an hour after meals, because at this time, the food we eat has been basically digested, and a large number of nutrients are entering the blood vessels. At this time, a lot of water is needed to transport nutrients. With sufficient water, nutrients can be quickly transported to various tissues and organs of the body. In addition, our food residues enter the large intestine and need water to push the stool down, so the peristalsis of the large intestine will get twice the result with half the effort. Many people's constipation is often caused by insufficient drinking water. At this time, the amount of water supplement is 500 ml for adults. Drink water in moderation between meals. Drinking a small amount of water half an hour before meals, especially soup before meals, is the best way to keep in good health, because the soup you drink at this time makes the gastrointestinal tract more lubricated, and drinking water also means informing digestive juice to prepare for secretion in advance, so that our intestines and stomach can react quickly when eating. You can drink 200 ml of water before going to bed at night, and the amount should be decided according to everyone's physiological situation, so as not to affect sleep.
How much water does a person need to drink every day This is a variable, because the water required by the body is influenced by climate, season, age, weight and activity. A manual worker can drink more than eight liters of water every day in summer. If you are a mental worker, you should drink more than four liters of water every day in summer. If you spend a long time outdoors with great intensity, you should exceed this amount. In addition, heavy people will drink more water than light people. The amount of drinking water in winter can be reduced appropriately, but the average adult should be above 2500 ml. As for the standard of drinking water, I think it is best to urinate once an hour. If you haven't urinated for more than an hour, drink water as soon as possible. If you want to be healthy, you must have the amount of water to urinate every hour, remember!
There is also a difference between the amount of drinking water and the amount of medical care. Chronic patients are people with a lot of garbage in their bodies, otherwise you won't get sick. From the perspective of treatment, the excretion of toxins is more important than the supply of nutrients, because on the one hand, if toxins are not excluded, your supply of nutrients will not be really smooth; On the other hand, removing toxins is one of the fastest ways to deal with emergencies, and drinking water first aid is an important step and method of natural therapy. So if you are in the stage of disease treatment and rehabilitation, you should drink more water than usual. Every time we drink a glass of water, we have to excrete it through various excretion channels. The discharge of water is the discharge of toxins and garbage. Moreover, the more ways of excretion, the better, especially from the skin through sweat glands, is much better than simply excreting from urine, and excreting through sweat depends on environmental temperature or exercise.
However, many people say that I really can't drink that much water. This is not because your body doesn't need water, but because your body has a process of adaptation. Because your body has long adapted to the environment with little water. People's adaptability is very strong, not only good things can adapt, but also harmful things, such as smoking, taking drugs and eating high-fat and high-calorie foods. These things are harmful to the body, but our body has adapted. If it changes in a short time, the body will not adapt, or it is also called detoxification reaction. So we must give the body a transformation process. As long as you persist for a period of time, your body can adapt to the new environment. For example, smoking, quitting smoking is very painful, but if you quit smoking for a while, your body is also very painful and you don't want to smoke again. I didn't adapt to drinking more water at first, but now, I have developed the habit of drinking water every day, especially when I get up in the morning. I can't do anything else if I don't drink water. As soon as I drink water, I feel very comfortable, clear-headed, light and full of vitality.
It is a headache for children to develop the habit of drinking water. My solution is to give the child a special kettle and then supervise the implementation in stages. My daughter is twelve years old, thin and doesn't like drinking water. I bought her a special kettle and filled it with 2000 ml of water every night to drink the next day. She was required to drink half in the morning and half in the afternoon. If you don't drink half a glass of water for lunch, I'm sorry. Run for half an hour at once. After half an hour, I was sweating profusely, and the water naturally went in.
If you are a child under three years old, you need adults to operate and drink water, especially for children under two years old who can't talk. They have poor autonomy and inaccurate information expression. It is necessary to make a drinking schedule and drink water on time. Children who drink milk especially need to drink more water, because protein is difficult to digest and needs more water. According to investigation and study, many children get sick because they don't drink enough water and finally die of thirst.
If you don't like drinking water at first, you should slowly increase the amount of drinking water and let your body adapt slowly. It is better to drink slowly when drinking water. If you drink a lot of water every day, you should add a little salt, because the urine and sweat we excrete are salty and take away a lot of salt in your body. Add salt at this time, or your body will have other physical problems if the salt is not enough.
Pay attention to drinking water. Water is the best medicine. Li Shizhen is here.
