Benefits of drinking water 1. Anti-aging: 70% of the human body is made up of water, and this proportion will decrease with age. The so-called aging is the process of drying. The water content of the human body starts from 80% to 50% in a lifetime, and the water loss will be proportional to the age. 2. Relieve colds: When catching a cold, it is best to drink more than two or three thousand milliliters (CC) of water every day to let the virus and its toxins pass through the urine. Influenza viruses multiply in low temperature and low humidity environment. Keeping the home environment and body moist can reduce the chance of infection. 3. Fever: When you have a fever, the doctor will often give the patient an intravenous drip and send a large amount of water directly into the body, which can immediately reduce the fever and achieve the effect of reducing the fever. 4. Lose weight: Drinking a glass of water or a bowl of soup before eating can reduce food intake, which is obviously helpful for controlling weight, thus preventing obesity. American scientist Dr. Robertson's experiment shows that drinking 8 to 12 cups a day can reduce weight by 0.5 kg per week. It is best to drink cold water, because cold water is easily absorbed by tissues and can consume calories. Drinking water before meals will make you feel full and reduce your appetite. Cold water also constricts blood vessels and slows down fat absorption. 5. Skin care and beauty: The beauty of skin lies in the balance of water and oil. The main purpose of skin care is to "moisturize", maintain proper moisture and oil in the skin, and make the skin shiny and elastic. 6. Constipated people often drink water to keep enough water in the intestinal cavity to soften the stool. 7. People with cystitis had better drink more water and urinate more, which can not only remove bacteria, but also bring out toxic substances in the urinary system and even carcinogens in urine, and urine is often empty, so bacteria cannot reproduce. 8. For patients with urinary stones, drinking plenty of water can accelerate the discharge of stones and reduce the recurrence of stones.
