As a celebrity once said:
Everyone should drink water, drink water in the morning, drink water at noon and drink water at night.
Of course, if you are thirsty, you should drink water. If you are not thirsty, you can still drink water.
Old people want to drink water, so do children.
Men want to drink water, women also want to drink water.
No matter women or men, in fact, more than half of their bodies are made of water.
Dr. Clove once told everyone that a person can live well without eating for up to 382 days under extreme circumstances, but one cannot live without drinking water for several days.
If you don’t drink any water…
Maybe maybe, maybe, it will rot.
First, skin.
Yes, the water content in a person’s body can be felt from his skin: a person who is obviously dehydrated will lose its luster and elasticity.
Then, pee.
As the amount of water in the body decreases, the urine will become thicker. As the concentration of bilirubin metabolites increases, the urine color will naturally become yellower and yellower.
Substances that need to be excreted in urine will be concentrated and re-concentrated, and sometimes even stones, such as calcium oxalate and uric acid stones, can form in the urinary system.
Then, internal organs.
Slowly, the water in the cell will flow out of the cell to replenish the water in the blood.
When the blood is unable to transport red blood cells to all organs of the whole body, from water shortage to ischemia, it will cause a series of functional abnormalities and even life-threatening shock.
Finally, the brain.
If all the water that should have entered the brain flows out of the cell and the brain function cannot be carried out, headache, blurred consciousness, coma… and even death will occur.
If the water has not dripped in all the time, people can barely survive for 3 days, and under extreme conditions, few can last more than 5 days.
Our hypothalamus will feel water shortage, then secrete antidiuretic hormones to limit the discharge of water in the body, and drink water immediately at the same time, [of course, drink water when thirsty.]
[You can drink water even if you are not thirsty.] According to the dietary guidelines, you need to drink 1500-1700 milliliters of water every day, which is almost the amount of 7-8 200 milliliters paper cups.
But this does not mean that you must [have eight glasses of water a day].
I didn’t drink so much water, and I didn’t need to worry at all.
Each of us has a very different weight, diet and activity, so long as we follow our own feelings.
And if you can feel [full], it must be your body [no longer thirsty], then stop drinking.
In case you drink too much water, will how?
The most common problem is…
It will be inconvenient
In particular, when people are nervous, anxious and uneasy, it is instinctively easy to drink more water, and then they need to go to the toilet over and over again. The inconvenience caused by urinating too much may make people more nervous, anxious and uneasy.
In addition, healthy people’s kidneys have strong adaptability and will not [burst] [strike] just because they drink more water.
The human body can discharge about 0.8 to 1 litre of liquid per hour. If it is conservatively estimated, even if the water (about 5 to 6 litres) from the two thermos is drunk in one day, the kidney can bear it.
Patients with urinary calculi, hyperuricemia, gout and diabetes are usually advised to [drink more water]; In particular, patients with colds and fevers are often greeted [drink more hot water] and drink water properly when they are not thirsty.
At these times, I don’t need to worry about problems if I drink too much water.
Drinking water is difficult to dilute digestive juices and disturb the electrolyte balance in the body. Most of the real clinical cases of [water poisoning] are not only caused by drinking too much water, but also due to other diseases or improper treatment procedures.
Apart from some patients with kidney diseases, heart failure and other diseases who need to limit drinking water according to doctor’s advice, drinking water is really simple for most healthy people:
Drink as you like.
