Water is an essential component of our body, and we need to consume a sufficient amount of water every day, and many people have the wrong habit of drinking water, especially the first glass of water after waking up in the morning.
Drinking a glass of water after getting up is an inherent habit of many people, and it can also play a detoxifying role, but for this cup of water, many people have not drunk it right, the correct way to drink water is good for our body, and the same way to drink water is harmful to our health. So, how should we drink water correctly?
First, a glass of water in the morning is good for the body
Choosing to drink a glass of water after getting up in the morning is of great benefit to our body, not only conducive to gastrointestinal cleansing, but also able to effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases and promote metabolism.
58-year-old Ms. Sun is a staunch advocate of a glass of water in the morning, Ms. Sun has insisted on getting up in the morning to drink a glass of water more than 20 years ago, Ms. Sun said that drinking a glass of water in the morning is particularly good for the body, not only can quench thirst, but also has the effect of detoxification and beauty, her body is better than her peers.
What are the specific benefits of insisting on waking up a glass of water in the morning for the body?
First of all, it is beneficial to the stomach and intestines. Many people will feel thirsty after sleeping at night, this is because there is no external water supplement during a long period of sleep, and the continuous metabolism in the body loses a lot of water, the body is water lacking, and physiological lack of water occurs.
Just as plants will wilt after entering a physiological state of dehydration, there will also be many discomforts in the human body due to lack of water. At this time, we choose to drink a glass of water to replenish the lack of water in our body in time, and is conducive to cleaning the stomach and intestines, excreting toxins from the stomach and liver and other organs.
Second, reduce the viscosity of the blood. Blood viscosity has many hazards, especially for the elderly, too much blood viscosity will slow down the flow of blood, some organs are not enough blood supply oxygen, and even may appear blood clotting.
And at night sleep due to lack of water will make the blood more viscous, drink a glass of water after getting up in the morning can dilute the blood, effectively reduce the viscosity of the blood, promote blood circulation, effectively prevent myocardial ischemia, cerebral vascular blockage and other diseases, great benefits to the body.
Again, getting up in the morning to drink a glass of water is also beneficial to promote metabolism. Drinking more water can increase the rate of metabolism, improve immune function, increase enzyme activity in the body, and reduce the amount of lactate accumulation.
From the above we learned that drinking water has many benefits for the body, then there must be many people who have doubts, as long as drinking water after getting up in the morning has these benefits, that is definitely not.
The first glass of water to drink after getting up in the morning is actually a lot of exquisite, if you drink wrong, it will damage health, which is not conducive to health and detoxification.
Ms. Sun also told us that she had also drunk it at the beginning, and at the beginning she got up in the morning and drank the water that was placed next to the bed before going to bed, but the water was already cold, and after drinking it, her stomach was uncomfortable, and then she began to drink warm boiled water.
Second, drink the wrong cup of water in the morning, which is harmful to health
First, drink water that is too hot or too low
After waking up in the morning, it is suitable to drink water with the right temperature, and the temperature is too high or too low will increase the stimulation of the body. Too cold or too hot water will cause damage to the stomach and intestines after entering the stomach, and too cold water will increase the stimulation of the stomach and intestines, which is easy to cause diarrhea or other gastrointestinal discomfort.
Too hot water will have the possibility of scalding the gastrointestinal tract and mucous membranes, the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and the esophagus are relatively fragile, often because drinking too hot water to make it scalded will increase the risk of cancer, esophageal cancer is caused by frequent drinking too hot water. Therefore, when drinking the first cup of water in the morning, you should not drink too cold or too hot water, which is not conducive to health.
Second, drink too much water
The first glass of water in the morning should not drink too much, drinking too much water at one time is likely to cause water poisoning. In the 30s of the last century, there was a situation of water poisoning caused by a large amount of drinking water, and a large amount of drinking water would reduce the osmotic pressure, and the water would enter the cells, causing cell swelling, which would lead to muscle pain and spasms.
Drinking too much water can also increase the burden on the kidneys, which need to work continuously at high speed and can easily cause damage. People with bad hearts such as coronary heart disease may even have shortness of breath and chest tightness after drinking a lot of water.
Third, drink water too fast
Drinking water too quickly can cause the water in the blood to increase rapidly, and the pressure on the heart and other organs will increase. Drinking water too fast is also easy to cause blood pressure to rise, vomiting, nausea symptoms, some people will have no appetite after drinking water, and even panic and other symptoms.
Fourth, blindly choose the type of water that follows the trend
Many people are misled by some propaganda, thinking that drinking fruit tea, bee water, light salt water, etc. after waking up in the morning is better for the body, but this is not the case.
Fruit tea, bee water, light salt water, etc. are not the best choice to drink water after waking up in the morning, drinking too much light salt water will make blood pressure rise, especially for the elderly, their blood pressure is more unstable, the impact will be greater.
Bee water has a certain effect on people with constipation, but drinking too much is likely to lead to an increase in sugar content, resulting in overweight, causing a series of diseases such as diabetes. Drinking the wrong type of water will also have an impact on the body, do not blindly follow others.
Fifth, drink water that is not boiling directly
Some people like to drink raw water directly, especially when the temperature in the house is relatively high, but the harm of drinking raw water directly is very much.
There are many bacteria in the water that has not been boiled, and some bacteria will enter the human body after direct drinking, and the uncooked water is sometimes too cold to stimulate the stomach and intestines, and there are some substances in raw water that cause cancer, and long-term drinking will increase the risk of cancer such as rectal cancer.
The first cup of water in the morning is very exquisite, too cold and too hot water is not suitable for drinking, drinking water too fast, too much amount of water will also have an impact on the body, we have to drink water correctly, it will be conducive to maintaining good health.
Third, the right choice to drink water in the morning
First, a small number of times, one time should not drink too much water
Drinking water in small quantities and times has more benefits for the body, and we should not take the way of pouring water when drinking water, and it is better for the body to drink slowly in a small sip. Drinking water in small quantities, many times, slowly, can make it easier for the body to absorb and drink water at any time of the day.
Remember that drinking too much water at one time will increase the metabolic burden, a water intake of about 200 ml can be, the blood will appear viscous after getting up in the morning, drink 150 ~ 200ml of warm boiled water, should not be too much.
Second, drink water at the right temperature
The gastrointestinal tract and its mucous membranes are fragile, so it is advisable to choose warm water in the morning. After boiling to 100 ° C, the water is naturally cooled to about 35 ° C, and the water near this temperature is more easily absorbed by the human body and will not cause greater stimulation to the body. It should be noted that warm water must refer to water that is boiled and then cooled naturally, not only water that is boiled to about 35 ° C.
Third, a reasonable amount of water
Drinking water is not the more the better, every day our appropriate amount of water is 1500 ~ 1700ml, in an environment with too high a temperature or after strenuous exercise should be appropriately increased to supplement the water consumed in our body.
Fourth, drink more boiled water
Drinking boiled water in the morning is better than drinking sugary drinks such as fruit juice, boiled water is ordinary water, light and tasteless, but this extremely ordinary water has a good conditioning effect on the human body. Drinking boiled water regularly is conducive to bringing out the yin, cold, wet, poisonous and other wastes and debris in the body through excretion or sweat to ensure the cleanliness of the body.
Fourth, some reflections
The role of water on the human body is as important and indispensable as the sea water is to the ship that is sailing at sea. The regulation of physiological functions and metabolic functions in the body is inseparable from water, and the absorption, digestion, transportation and transformation of nutrients in the human body are also inseparable from water, and the discharge of metabolic waste in the human body requires the role of water.
The weight of water in the human body accounts for 60% to 70%, drinking water is more important than the role of eating, experiments have proved that our body can still last until about 7 days without eating, but if there is no water intake, it is difficult to hold up for 3 days, and it will soon enter a state of water deficiency, so water is crucial for the human body.
In addition to a glass of water in the morning, drinking water regularly at any time of the day also has many benefits for the body, and it is more conducive to good health. In addition to a glass of water in the morning, Ms. Sun also likes to drink water at other times, which can play a good detoxification effect.
People who drink water regularly have a lower chance of developing cancers such as colon cancer than people who drink very little water, because water makes the intestines move faster and waste products are excreted from the body.
Drinking water is also conducive to relieving fatigue, for people who work, when they feel fatigue, part of it is caused by lack of water, when the body is lacking, they will gradually feel weak and tired, then we should replenish water in time.
Many people think that water can detoxify and nourish the face is actually true, often drink water can play a role in detoxifying and nourishing the face, the circulation speed of blood is accelerated, the speed of basic metabolism is also accelerated, the burning of fat can be improved, the excess fat can be burned, and the acid-base balance in the body is maintained.
However, many people usually do not have the habit of drinking water, and even some people regard drinks as the "protagonist" of replenishing body water, in fact, these are not correct.
We can't start drinking water until we feel thirsty, when our body is already in a state of lack of water, and drinking a large amount of water at one time will also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and the digestive pressure will increase.
Therefore, in normal times, we must develop the habit of drinking water frequently, but also to drink boiled water, take the initiative to drink water many times, and do not regret it when the body sends a signal of lack of water.
In short, getting up in the morning and drinking a glass of water is good for your health, but you should pay attention to the correct way to drink water. Drink water regularly to stay healthy.
