Why do people drink water?
The role of water is very important. Water, like air and sunlight, is the basic element of living things. You know, the most important component of the human body is water, which accounts for about 60~70% of the adult's weight and is also an indispensable substance for human physiological activities. The human body is the most complicated machine in the world. In order to maintain the operation of life, Qian Qian is carrying out thousands of complex physiological and chemical reactions. As long as the water is insufficient, these reactions will go wrong one by one. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish water regularly.

1. What's the best drink?

What is the most direct way to replenish water? Just open your lips and drink some boiled water.

In fact, the best drink is H2O. A glass of clear and transparent boiled water, though primitive and simple, is a treasure given to us by nature: it contains no heat and needs no digestion, and can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body.

Various drinks also contain water, but there are many chemicals in them, which will inevitably harm the body and make the role of water no longer pure; Although coffee is fragrant and refreshing, it stimulates the adrenal gland; Juice tastes sweet and rich, but it will stimulate the pancreas.

It is also worth noting that ordinary people do not need to supplement sports drinks on weekdays, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys.

Second, how much water do you need to drink every day?

According to some experts' argument, a healthy person should drink at least 8- 10 glass of water (2.5 liters/day) every day, and the water consumption will increase accordingly when the exercise is heavy. Especially when the weather is hot, the body will lose a lot of water and should be replenished. Often feeling thirsty in summer is actually an early warning signal of water imbalance in the body. Therefore, the method of "drink less water if you are afraid of sweating" adopted by Miss Shuimeiren is inappropriate. The formula of daily drinking water provided by the Institute of International Medicine in Los Angeles, California, USA is: people who don't do much exercise need to drink15ml of water every half kilogram of body weight, and if they are athletes, they need to supplement 20ml/day every half kilogram of body weight.

Third, how to enter the water in one day?

It is advisable to replenish water several times a day. Take your time. Don't drink four glasses an hour and then don't drink for hours. Even if you feel thirsty, don't rush to drink water. It's best to put water in your mouth first, and then drink it slowly to avoid choking.

Drinking 8- 10 glasses of water in balance every day will not only make you healthier, radiant and youthful, but also make you slim. Note: if you wait for the body to signal thirst before drinking water, it will be a little late.

Fourth, the best time to drink water.

Drinking a balanced amount of water every day is easier said than done. Because, when I first started working, I still remember so much. In fact, as long as the habit is formed, the biological clock in the human body will naturally remind you.

1, get up and drink a glass of water in the morning

It is said that the water lost in the human body in one night is about 450 ml. Moreover, during sleep, blood flow is insufficient and blood vessels become smaller. At this time, if you can drink a glass of water, you can lower the blood concentration, widen the arterial wall and make the blood circulate normally.

2. Drink water around 10 in the morning.

At about 10 in the morning, the first half of the day is already over half, and the physical and mental energy needs to be supplemented. Don't forget to give yourself a drink at this time to replenish the water lost in work and activities.

3. Drink some water around 3 pm.

Around 3 pm is the second half of our day's work. In many large international companies, this time is also the time for afternoon tea. Take a break from work and drink some water to supplement your body's needs.

4. Drink water in time before going to bed.

Because the blood concentration will increase during sleep, drinking water can dilute the blood. But don't drink too much. If you drink too much water before going to bed, your eyelids will swell and you will always go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which will cause poor sleep quality.

V. Special instructions for drinking water

1, drink plenty of water when taking medicine.

This not only speeds up the elimination of toxins, but also reduces the temperature rise caused by high fever, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of diseases. It can also increase the dissolution of drugs with small solubility and large dose, improve the blood concentration and improve the curative effect.

2. Drink water in time after exercise.

Although we are not athletes and don't do much exercise, according to health experts, no matter what exercise we do, we should drink water even after cleaning the room, which is less likely to make us tired and backache.

Don't forget to drink water in air-conditioned environment.

In an air-conditioned environment, it is especially necessary to replenish water. Be sure to drink water from time to time to balance the water consumed by the body.
