Why does "drink more water" become a health motto?
When experts advocate "8 glasses of water a day", is your understanding of water still limited to the well-known phrase "water is the source of life"? In fact, water is not only the source of life, but also actively participates in our daily life-an adult needs about 2500 ml of water every day, and with so much water, it can support the normal operation of the body. On the contrary, lack of water will lead to various conditions in the body, ranging from small problems such as dry skin and cleft lip to obstacles in gastrointestinal digestion and blood nutrient delivery.
What's more noteworthy is that in the extraordinary period when the body is facing the virus, "drink plenty of water" is not a perfunctory reminder, but it can really inject positive energy into your health and help your immune defense line and disease resistance score extra points:
(1) Enhance immunity: "Drinking plenty of water can keep respiratory mucosa moist, slow down the spread of viruses such as colds and enhance immunity."
(2) Enhance disease resistance: "Drinking water frequently can dilute blood and urinate more, which is beneficial to the regulation of body temperature and increase the body's disease resistance. Drinking water containing minerals can also maintain the normal osmotic pressure and electrolyte balance of body fluids. "
(3) Replenish the water lost due to various situations: Due to symptoms such as elevated body temperature, cough and diarrhea, the water in the body will evaporate or excrete too much, so it is necessary to replenish water, drink more water and eat more fresh fruits.
(4) Replenish the lost water: Because most people need antipyretic and analgesic drugs during COVID-19 infection, they will sweat a lot after taking these drugs and take away a lot of water in their bodies. At this time, they need to replenish water in time to prevent dehydration.
(5) Dilute toxins and reduce drug damage: Drinking plenty of water can dilute toxins in blood, promote toxin discharge, dilute drug toxicity and reduce drug damage to liver and kidney.
