After the primary school students who were still in the winter vacation finished their winter vacation homework, they excitedly turned on the TV and watched the hottest Winter Olympic games. After work, my mother was anxious and angry to find that she had not drunk water all day. At this time, the neighbor's aunt happened to send freshly made freshly squeezed juice, but the grandmother next to her was reluctant: "The TV says that the juice will be high if you drink more uric acid, and the child is best to drink less sweet drinks." ”
As a parent, do you know how your child's body changes after drinking too much or too little water? Is it true that uric acid will rise after drinking too much juice? Today, the doctors of Peking Union Medical College Hospital will take you to understand the university question behind the small matter of drinking water.
What happens to the body if I don't drink water for a long time?
The importance of drinking water is self-evident, but why would a mother worry that the girl has not drunk water for almost a day? This is because drinking less water tends to cause the following hazards to the body:
1. Damage to the liver: when the body is dehydrated, the toxins cannot be excreted from the body, which is easy to increase the burden on the liver.
2, damage to the kidneys: the kidneys are also the body's detoxification organs, when the body is dehydrated, the kidney pressure increases, resulting in the accumulation of toxic substances.
3. Easy to cause digestive system diseases: when there is a long-term lack of water in the body, the saliva secretion decreases, resulting in dry mouth and tongue; the secretion of digestive juice is reduced, affecting the digestion and absorption of food, and toxins are easy to accumulate in the intestine.
4. Cause constipation: when dehydrated, the body will give priority to maintaining normal body fluid circulation, so the water in the intestine will be reabsorbed, causing dry stool and difficulty in defecation.
5. Easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: lack of water will lead to a decrease in blood volume in the body, so that the blood viscosity increases, affecting blood circulation, causing a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
"Water is the source of life", it is recommended that everyone usually remember to drink water in time no matter how busy and tired!
Drinking too much water too fast, what happens to the body?
The mother of the girl is worried that the child does not drink enough water, and as soon as she comes home, she asks the girl to drink more water, and it is best to drink enough at one time. We've all experienced times when we were so thirsty that we drank a whole bottle of water in one gulp and went to the bathroom in less than ten minutes. So what harm is there in drinking water like this?
The answer is: harmful! There is a limit to the amount of water that the human body can hold, and drinking too much water means that the kidneys filter more water out of the body, resulting in an increase in the burden on the kidneys, which may cause kidney disease in the long run. Therefore, when drinking water, you should pay attention not to drink too fast and drink too much at one time, and it is better to drink less than 200ml each time. When the amount and speed of water consumption exceed the range that the kidneys can bear, hyponatremia may also be triggered, the cells in the body will be over-inflated, dizziness, vomiting, palpitations and other manifestations, and in severe cases, convulsions may occur.
Why does uric acid also increase after drinking too much juice?
More and more people found that the blood uric acid index "alarm" during the physical examination, the low purine diet began to be concerned, we all know that seafood, animal offal can not eat more, beer can not drink more, but often ignore another "murderer" who causes elevated blood uric acid - fructose.
There are always people who think that drinking fruit juice can replace eating fruit, but they don't know the harm of fructose drinks, which are sweeter than glucose and white sugar, and have been found to be associated with hyperuricemia. Relevant epidemiological studies have shown that after excluding weight and influencing factors, people who consume sugary drinks or foods with added sugar have significantly higher blood uric acid levels than other populations. The more fructose people consume, the more likely they are to develop gout. Fructose in fruit juices can increase blood uric acid levels through direct and indirect mechanisms, while increasing the incidence of metabolic syndrome, so large consumption of fruit juices and fructose drinks should be avoided.
If your child wants to drink juice, how much should he drink?
Drinking a lot of juice will not only affect the child's appetite, develop bad eating habits, make the child more dislike to drink boiled water, but also cause excessive energy intake. Drinking juice as water will cause the child to consume more sugar than the body needs, and this excess energy cannot help the child's growth and development, but is an accomplice to childhood obesity and diabetes.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, the daily intake of sugar should not exceed 50 grams, and it is best to control it below about 25 grams. The American Pediatric Association (AAP) recommends that children aged 1 to 6 years consume no more than 120 to 180 ml of juice per day, and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years should not exceed 240 to 360 ml per day. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink more juice for children during the growth and development period, and it is not possible to drink juice as water in daily life.
For children, the healthiest drink is still water.
Drinking water is the most common and ordinary small thing in daily life, but it also contains reason and knowledge. Children, have you learned to "know how much to drink water" with you today?
