What should we pay attention to when drinking water?

Water is the source of life and people cannot live without water, so we should replenish proper amount of water every day to maintain normal metabolism. If the body lacks water, it will lead to symptoms such as getting angry and chapped lips. It is very necessary to develop good drinking habits, but some people have a thorough understanding of drinking water. In fact, drinking water also involves a certain amount of knowledge. Let me introduce to you what you should pay attention to when drinking water!

In order to maintain a normal and healthy metabolism, adults in my country should drink about 2 liters of water, or about 7-8 cups of water, every day on average (including water supplemented from the diet). Develop the habit of drinking water regularly. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water, because your body is already dehydrated by then.

Drinking water requires time and method. You should drink 1-2 cups of water every morning, noon and evening. Drink it slowly and savor it carefully. You will be able to taste a slight sweetness. Your urine will be clearer and longer, your bowel movements will be smooth, and you will feel refreshed.

We often say that people can go without food for three days, but cannot go without water for a day. If you have a headache or fever and go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will not only ask you to take medicine on time, but also remind you to rest well and drink more water. This is not only because the medicine can only be absorbed by the human body when dissolved in water, but also because water itself has the effects of calming, clearing heat and detoxifying. Lu You, a poet from the Song Dynasty of my country, lived to be over 80 years old in a bumpy and wandering life. He once wrote a poem: "The Nine-Turn Elixir is too complicated, but drinking water can make you become an immortal." In his opinion, drinking water is better than making elixirs to maintain health and live a long life.

From the perspective of drinking water and health, mainstream scientists currently believe that good drinking water should meet the following requirements:

1. It should be clean and free of pathogenic bacteria, heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

2. It should contain appropriate amounts of minerals and trace elements.

3. It should contain fresh and appropriate amount of dissolved oxygen.

4. It should be alkaline, with small water molecules and strong activity.

You must develop good drinking habits in your daily life. It is best to drink some warm boiled water. Boiled water is the best drink. Never replace it with carbonated drinks, because these drinks will only make you more thirsty. When drinking water, you must drink clean water with a certain alkaline property, especially drinking a glass of warm boiled water when you just get up in the morning, which can effectively detoxify and beautify the skin.
