People pay more and more attention to health because of various diseases and sub-health status. Many people began to study various ways of keeping in good health, one of which is called hydrotherapy. Water has become an important factor of health. For example, we often hear people say that eight glasses of water a day is good for our health; A cold and cough, many people say to drink more water; Be anxious to get angry, but also drink more water; In the process of losing weight and shaping, someone told you to drink more water. Since drinking more water is so important, how much water is it? The answer is eight glasses of water. How big is this cup? Today, let's see what scientific basis this statement has.

First of all, let's see why the public began to advocate drinking eight glasses of water every day. These eight glasses of water come from a source. The earliest viewpoint can be traced back to 70 years ago. A research institute published a report based on its own research, claiming that every adult male should drink 2500 ml of water every day, on the grounds that every adult male should consume about 2500 calories every day. But in this research report, the water content in the food we eat every day is also included in this 2500 ml. It's just that this result was transformed many times in the later cycle, and everyone ignored the second half, only remembering to drink eight glasses of water every day.

If you simply drink 2500 ml of water every day, it is about 300 ml of cups, which should be the standard amount. But according to the research results, we should deduct the amount of water in daily food. In our food, vegetables contain a lot of water, accounting for about 90%; So is fruit, 80% is water; Even the fish we eat contains 70% water. So if we count our daily diet, we should continue to supplement about 1200ml of water. If it's a 300 ml cup, we should drink four cups.

We should not only pay attention to the amount of water we drink, but also pay attention to how to drink water scientifically. It is generally recommended to drink a cup of warm water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning, which will help us empty our intestines and clean up the garbage and metabolites left in our intestines the next day. At other times, we should drink a certain amount of warm water before we feel thirsty. Of course, the amount of drinking water varies from person to person and from environment to environment.
