Drinking water, studying, binge drinking and being afraid of the cold are all inappropriate.
Drink plenty of water when you have a cold, fever, constipation and dry skin.
Although water is very important to human body, improper drinking can also do harm to health. Experts suggest that the following taboos should be avoided when drinking water:
Don't drink raw water: After water is boiled, it can help chlorine to volatilize and sterilize, so it is better to drink boiled water.
Don't wait for thirst to drink water: drinking water after thirst is like irrigation when the land is cracked, and the soil is no longer fertile. Remind adults to drink 6-8 glasses of water (about 2000cc) every day, and drink it several times.
Don't binge drink: drinking plenty of water in one breath will dilute gastric juice, affect the digestion and absorption of gastric acid, and reduce the bactericidal function of gastric acid. In addition, drinking too much water at one time will swell the stomach and increase the burden on the heart and kidneys, especially for the elderly or people with hypertension, heart disease and kidney disease. Therefore, a small amount of water needs to be replenished many times.
Don't drink repeatedly boiled water: After water is repeatedly boiled, the water will gradually evaporate, and the concentration of impurities and inorganic salts in the water will increase relatively. Drinking this water for a long time will affect the stomach or cause poisoning.
Don't drink water that is too cold or too hot: Drinking water that is too cold often will make the blood vessels on the surface of esophagus and gastric mucosa contract, affect the secretion of gastric juice, and lead to digestive dysfunction. However, too hot water may burn and congest the mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach, forming chronic inflammation or ulcers. The healthiest drinking water is boiled water at room temperature.
Don't drink too much water before going to bed: when you sleep, your metabolism is very slow. If you drink too much water before going to bed, the small intestine can't fully absorb it, so the water can't be completely excreted, so your eyes and face will swell after getting up, which will affect your appearance.
The sick doctor suggested drinking more water.

Constipation: Sufficient water can moisten the bowel to relax the bowels, promote intestinal peristalsis, and thus make the stool soft.
When the skin appears acne wrinkles or dryness: Drinking plenty of water can promote metabolism, help detoxify, moisturize the skin, avoid wrinkles caused by dryness, and excrete the dirt in pores with sweat, thus reducing the chance of acne.
When taking some drugs: when taking diuretics, laxatives, calcium salts, aspirin and other drugs, it will cause a lot of water loss in the body, leading to dry mouth, nausea and other phenomena. Drink plenty of water at this time to maintain the circulation and metabolism of various systems in the body. When taking drugs such as gastric milk or antibiotics, drinking plenty of water can make the efficacy spread rapidly and accelerate the curative effect.
