From a health point of view, is eight glasses of water a day healthy?

Healthy, but for some people with weak body and sensitive urinary system, drinking too much water may increase the burden on the kidneys and increase the risk of urinary system diseases. When determining the amount of drinking water, we should quantify it according to our actual situation, such as whether there are other diseases in the body, the current environment, the weather and so on.

1, how much water you drink is related to your eating habits.

For a normal adult, eight glasses of water a day is healthy, but you need to add the water content of all kinds of foods you eat every day, such as vegetables and fruits, which are more than 90% water, while eggs and fish also contain about 75% water, so if you eat fruits and vegetables every day, there is no need to drink eight glasses of water every day.

If the diet is dry and spicy, or there is a lack of water-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits, then drink eight glasses of water every day, because eight glasses of water can maintain the water balance of the body.

How much water you drink is related to your health.

For some special people, drinking water will seriously affect their health, such as patients with edema, patients with cardiac hydrolysis and patients with renal failure. They should not drink more water. We should fully listen to the doctor's advice and avoid the adverse effects caused by drinking too much water. For people with heatstroke, cystitis, constipation and dry skin, eight glasses of water a day can relieve the condition.

How much water to drink is related to the climate.

In a dry climate, people lose water easily, so they need to drink more water to keep water balance. In the high temperature environment, the human body is also prone to sweat and lose a lot of water, so it is necessary to increase the amount of drinking water to supplement the lost water. On the contrary, in a humid environment, the speed of water loss is relatively slow, so the amount of water needed is relatively small.

4. Drinking time

When drinking water, you can drink a glass of water between meals or every hour, and you can also judge whether you need to drink water according to your urine. Human urine is generally light yellow. If the color is too light, it means that you have drunk too much water. If the color is dark, it means that the body is short of water and needs to drink more water.

Follow the principle of drinking less before going to bed and drinking more after sleeping, keep the correct way of drinking water and ensure good health. After all, drinking more water before going to bed can easily lead to eyelid edema, and the situation of wanting to run the toilet in the middle of the night will also affect the quality of sleep. After waking up, you can decide according to your physical health. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water. People with weak stomach and intestines should sip water, not gulp. Drinking a lot of water can easily cause hiccups or bloating.
