Many people don't like drinking water, but prefer to drink sweet and sour drinks. However, these drinks cannot replace drinking water, and the sugar in the drinks is high. Long-term drinking in large quantities can easily lead to dental caries, periodontitis and other diseases. It is recommended to choose boiled water or natural mineral water first.

2. Take the initiative to drink water and drink more water.

Some people think that if you are not thirsty, you do not need to drink water. In fact, cells in the human body will lose water in the process of constant metabolism, waste elimination and heat emission. Thirst refers to the dehydration of human cells to a certain extent, and the brain center sends a signal to replenish water. Not thirsty or drinking. It is very unscientific to drink plenty of water when you are thirsty. Drinking water at a time should not be too much, 200 ml.

However, drinking too much water will increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, dilute gastric juice, reduce the bactericidal effect of gastric acid and hinder food digestion. The Nutrition Society of China suggested that adults engaged in light manual labor in mild climate should drink at least 65,438+0,200ml (6 cups) of water every day. If they work or exercise in a high temperature environment, they need 2- 1.6 liters of water every day.

After standardization, the tap water basically meets the national standards. However, due to the aging of urban water supply network and poor management of secondary water supply facilities, microorganisms in drinking water may exceed the standard. After boiling tap water, it can kill microorganisms in water, reduce residual chlorine and trace volatile organic compounds in water, and make drinking safer. Therefore, it is recommended to drink boiled tap water, or buy drinking water and purified water to drink.
