Stomach pain, drink more hot water; If you have a cold, drink more hot water; Constipation, drink more hot water ... it is not good to drink less water, but if you don't grasp the degree, drinking too much will also hurt your health.
1 water poisoning
Mr. Wang of Ningbo, 50 years old, was diagnosed as kidney calculi by physical examination. The doctor said that drinking water is helpful to treat stones. Since then, Mr. Wang will pick up a cup and drink water every day when he is free. He drinks at least 10 bottles of water every day, which is 10 kg of water. After drinking for half a month, I suddenly fainted and lived in ICU.
This situation of Mr. Wang is commonly known as "water poisoning". "Water poisoning" does not mean water quality deterioration or poisoning caused by toxic substances in water, but hyponatremia. Mr. Wang drank 5000 ml of boiled water every day for half a month, which led to a large loss of sodium ions in the human body. For example, Mr. Wang likes a low-sodium diet, and his daily intake of sodium ions from foods such as salt is insufficient. Drinking too much water is tantamount to adding insult to injury.
People who drink water normally need not worry about water poisoning. People who often engage in heavy physical labor, do physical exercise and have mental illness need to be vigilant.
2 High humidity
Usually, the most direct consequence of drinking too much water is to affect the function of the spleen and stomach. A patient is overweight, usually has high blood pressure and often takes antihypertensive drugs. Because my blood pressure is relatively high, I am worried about cerebral thrombosis and stroke. I heard that drinking more water can dilute the blood concentration, so I force myself to drink a lot of water every day. As a result, I have a bad appetite, my stomach always feels uncomfortable and my body is still a little tired.
The doctor told him that he drank too much water and accumulated too much moisture in his stomach. The patient is overweight and has a thick tongue coating. Originally, my body was wet and evil, and I kept forcing myself to drink water. The water that can't be discharged accumulates more and more, which affects the function of the spleen and stomach over time. If it takes a long time, it will also affect blood pressure and heart.
Moisture is the root of all diseases. When the moisture in the body is aggravated and the transport ability of the spleen and stomach is weakened, there will be a phenomenon that drinking water will make you fat.
3 heart and kidney damage
After drinking a lot of water, the urine excreted in the body is more than the water drunk. This is because a kind of "antidiuretic hormone" normally secreted by human body is inhibited in hypotonic state. Therefore, drinking plenty of boiled water may not be able to replenish water. On the contrary, due to diuresis, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chlorine in the body will be lost with urine.
Moderate drinking water can help the kidneys remove sodium, urea and toxins, while excessive drinking water means that the kidneys have greater filtration capacity and will increase the burden on the kidneys. Not only that, it will also lead to heart and kidney damage and bring extremely serious consequences.
How much is 8 glasses of water a day?
Everyone should consume at least 1200ml of water every day, and the specific amount of water will vary with each person's physique, environment, climate, exercise and work. Different people have different needs for water because of their different metabolic abilities. Like the same plant. Green radish can be raised in water, and aloe will rot if it is watered a little more.
For example, people who work outdoors in summer have to drink at least 2000-3000ml of water because they sweat a lot, while 1, 200- 1, 500 ml is enough in winter. Under normal circumstances, 8 glasses of water, about 200 ml each time.
Excessive drinking signal
If you drink too much water, your body will send a warning signal: some people will feel bloated after drinking water, and they will feel that there is water in their stomachs when walking; Some people always feel thirsty, but drinking water can't quench their thirst. This may be because spleen deficiency cannot transport water and dampness. At this time, the important thing is not to replenish water, but to strengthen the spleen.
Drink healthy water like this.
1 morning warm water
The first glass of water can't be honey water or brackish water, let alone coffee, milk, soybean milk or fruit juice. Warm water is the most suitable, but remember to brush your teeth before drinking water. Otherwise, after a night's rest, the food residue left on your teeth will combine with the calcium salt in saliva to precipitate, which will form dental calculus and dental plaque over time. If you drink water without brushing your teeth, it is easy to bring these bacteria into your body.
Don't wait until you are thirsty.
Drinking water can be divided into active drinking water and passive drinking water. Many people drink water passively, and then drink water when they feel thirsty. But long-term water shortage will increase the viscosity of blood and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It's best to drink two sips of water from time to time.
Never drink too much water because of hot weather and thirst, which will make the water and salt in body fluids out of balance, cause severe gastrointestinal pain and endanger life safety. These waters suddenly accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, except that the stomach feels heavy and full, which can not only replenish water, but also affect diaphragm activity and normal breathing.
A few times.
Unbalanced hydration, more and less for a while, will make the body wet and dry for a while, which is harmful to the health of organs and bodies. However, there are several key time points, and it is best to drink a small glass of water.
A glass of water to refresh oneself: after a whole night's sleep, people are short of water, so people can drink 100~250 ml of water after getting up, which can help the kidneys and liver to detoxify and enhance digestive function.
A small glass of water before going to bed: drinking half a glass of water about 0.5 ~ 1 hour before going to bed is helpful to prevent stroke. Not much. Half a cup is enough. If you drink too much, you will easily get up at night, which will affect the quality of sleep.
A small glass of water at night: it is best to put a glass of water at the bedside. If you get up at night, you can have a drink.
Don't drink ice water.
The healthiest water in summer is warm boiled water. It is best not to drink ice water, especially after exercise or square dance. After strenuous exercise, the heart beats faster and the capillaries dilate, resulting in lower blood pressure and insufficient blood supply to the brain. Drinking water immediately, especially cold drinks, is a great burden on the body, which is easy to cause damage to the heart, spleen and kidney, and even lead to sudden death.
