Water should also be drunk according to the rules
Doctors repeatedly advise, - "Drink more water, avoid dehydration". Especially those who work outside in the sun. And children because they play outside in the sun.
But knowing how much
water to drink over time is important for everyone. It is important for
everyone to know the rules of drinking water to lead a healthy life.
According to the
information provided by the experts - firstly, to understand whether the body
is lacking water or not, there is a thirst center in the hypothalamus part of
our brain, whenever there is a lack of water - this center tells us to drink
water.
But very young children
and the elderly or those with amnesia, stroke patients or psychiatric patients
may not understand or express their needs well. So caution is required in their
case. In our climate, an adult man or woman drinking seven to eight glasses of
water a day is enough to meet their needs. But fever, diarrhea, vomiting,
excessive sweating can increase this demand.
Secondly, drinking too
much water is also not good. Over hydration can cause sodium levels in the
blood to drop, and some may also experience swelling. Doctors for kidney, liver
and heart patients ask to measure water, drinking excess water in that place
can be dangerous.
People who sweat a lot
for any reason, so that the body loses both salt and water. In that case, if
they repeatedly drink only water, then there may be an imbalance of salt in the
blood. They should drink water with electrolytes, water of green coconut,
saline water. Or just have occasional salty snacks with water.
It is also known from the
doctor - how much water the patients suffering from kidney, liver or heart
disease will drink depends on the amount of their urine. 500 milliliters more
than the amount of urine passed in 24 hours. The rules prescribed by the doctor
must be followed.
Third, dehydration makes
our heads feel empty, our skin sags, our eyes sunken. Most importantly, the
amount of urine decreases or the urine becomes dark in color. If you see these
signs, you will understand that you are dehydrated, then you need to fill up
with water.
Another thing,
substituting sugary drinks, colas or juices for water does not cure
dehydration, rather they increase blood density. So drink water regularly and
seek medical advice if needed, and live a healthy life.
And the last tip is -
water should be drunk sitting down, both medically and religiously - say so. It
is scientifically proved by research that drinking water while standing pushes
it directly into the stomach. Decreased secretion of gastric juice leads to
digestive problems. It also puts extra pressure on the heart. This pressure on
the chest muscles can cause anything from dysphagia to choking.
Drinking water while
sitting down filters the water well. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
well. Food is digested well. Both the stomach and its muscles are fine.
Doctors recommend to
drinking water while sitting -observing various aspects like blood pressure,
nervous activity, kidney function etc.
