How important is drinking water?
You know, the human body will excrete about 1500 ml of urine every day, plus the water lost from the skin, breathing and stool, the human body will consume about 2500 ml of water per day.
For healthy adults, 2500 ml of water per day is required.
Among them, the human body will take 40% of the water from food, the human metabolism will produce about 10%, and the remaining 50% of the water needs to be continuously replenished by the human body.
Proper hydration can maintain the body's normal metabolism.
However, in the choice of water temperature, many people will have a big dispute, some people think that drinking cold water is healthier, and some people think that drinking hot water is healthier.
Is it healthy to drink cold water or drink hot water?
The temperature of the epidermis of the human body is generally about 37 degrees, and the temperature of the internal organs will be slightly higher. If you consume water that is cooler than the internal organs and the surface of the body, it will cause irritation of the internal organs.
Not only will it affect the digestive function, but it will also cause abnormal constriction of blood vessels, which will have a relatively large impact on health. When the body is invaded by cold or moisture, if you drink cold water, it will cause the wet and cold to worsen.
What are the benefits of drinking hot water for the human body?
First, clean the intestines
Although drinking cold water can also provide more water for the intestines, after the cool water enters the human body, it will cause the intestines to be stimulated to a certain extent.
So in contrast, hot water entering the body will promote the acceleration of intestinal peristalsis, which can help some metabolites to be excreted quickly, to prevent constipation and clean the intestinal function.
Second, eliminate inflammation
For example, when suffering from inflammation of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and inflammation of the urinary system, drinking some hot water appropriately can make the human body sweat.
And promote the opening of pores, some inflammation, bacteria and metabolites are quickly excreted from the body, contributing to the elimination of inflammation.
3. Skin hydration
After hot water enters the body, it can be quickly absorbed by the body, which can promote the metabolism of skin cells and help to enhance skin elasticity and moisture.
It can also improve blood microcirculation and achieve the effect of keeping the skin rosy.
Fourth, accelerate blood circulation
After drinking some warm hot water, the blood vessels will be slightly stimulated by the warm hot water and will appear dilated.
Once the blood vessels are dilated, the flow rate of the blood is improved, which helps to promote blood circulation throughout the body, and can improve the viscosity of the blood as well as the pH.
5. Analgesia and pain relief
For example, when a series of pain phenomena such as stomach pain and dysmenorrhea occur, properly drinking some warm hot water can alleviate abnormal spasms of the stomach and uterine muscles, and can play an analgesic and pain-relieving effect.
All in all, although drinking cold water can also hydrate the human body, because the temperature of the water does not reach the temperature of the human surface and internal organs, it will cause the body to be cold stimulated, resulting in abnormal spasms of blood vessels and various organs.
Especially for people with some digestive tract problems or dysmenorrhea, once drinking cold water will aggravate some discomfort.
In daily life, it is best to drink some hot water, drinking hot water properly has the above 5 benefits, but it is worth noting that the temperature of hot water should not exceed 65 degrees.
Otherwise, the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus and stomach will be burned, which can easily induce lesions, and serious diseases may also cause carcinogenicity.
As the saying goes: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Drinking water, too.
