Drinking water is essential for everyone. Some people say that you should develop a good habit of drinking water regularly and don’t wait until you are thirsty. Some people say that it is normal to eat when you are hungry, drink water when you are thirsty, and drink water when you are thirsty. Some people also say that drinking water all the time may lead to water poisoning… So how can drinking water be healthier? The Municipal Disease Control and Prevention reminds you that it is best to drink water regularly every day, and pay attention to changes in physical condition and environmental factors to adjust the amount of water you drink to maintain water balance and good health. Drinking water regularly and in an appropriate amount and developing good drinking habits are the keys to maintaining good health.
Under normal physiological conditions, the human body will excrete water through urine, sweat, etc., and then absorb water through drinking and eating to maintain water balance. Does not being thirsty mean that the body is not short of water? In fact, the feeling of thirst is not the only indicator of dehydration. The human body’s water balance is a complex system, including the regulation of kidneys, skin, respiratory and other organs. When the body is dehydrated, these organs work together to maintain water balance. Therefore, even if there is no feeling of thirst, the body may still be dehydrated. In addition, as we age, the feeling of thirst may become less sensitive, and some chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure may also affect the feeling of thirst. Therefore, you cannot rely solely on the feeling of thirst to determine whether you need to drink water. If the skin appears dry, tight, and flaky, it may also be a sign that the body is dehydrated.
Drinking water regularly can help maintain the body’s water balance and prevent dehydration. At the same time, adequate water intake helps the discharge of metabolic waste and the absorption of nutrients. In addition, drinking water can also reduce blood viscosity, promote blood circulation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. But drinking a lot of water can lead to water intoxication. Symptoms of water intoxication vary depending on the degree. In mild water intoxication, patients will experience symptoms such as weight gain, pale and moist skin, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. If water intoxication is severe, headache, aphasia, confusion, disorientation, drowsiness, agitation, delirium, or even coma may occur. In more severe cases, brain herniation may occur, which is life-threatening. Therefore, do not drink more than 3 liters of water within 24 hours. People with liver, kidney, heart and other diseases, as well as glaucoma, please drink an appropriate amount of water according to the doctor’s advice to avoid blindly drinking large amounts of water to aggravate the condition.
