In the morning, it is better to drink water on an empty stomach or to add some honey

People drink water every day, but there is a lot to learn about this seemingly ordinary thing. How to drink water scientifically? Hong Zhongxin, director of the nutrition department of Beijing Friendship Hospital, has the following opinions.

Director Hong said that medical research has pointed out that people need to consume at least 2,500 ml of water every day, and the food we eat every day already contains a lot of water, such as vegetables 90 is water, fruits are 80 water, meat and fish also contain 70 percent water, deducting these, drinking 1,500 ml of water a day is enough.

People can't drink water based on whether they're thirsty or not. Thirst is a signal from the central nervous system to demand hydration when the body's water balance is out of balance and the cells have reached a certain level of dehydration. Drinking water only when you are thirsty is equivalent to re-irrigating the soil cracks, which is not conducive to your health.

Adults should drink water no less than 6 times a day.

Drinking water is most effective on an empty stomach, as it flows directly from the digestive tract and is absorbed by the body. At the same time, drinking more water can eliminate sweat and urinate more, in addition to lowering body temperature, it can also eliminate toxic substances in the blood. Normally, we lose 300-400 ml of water every night through respiration and evaporation.

Therefore, when you wake up in the morning, drink a large glass of water, which can not only replenish the water lost due to the body's metabolism and wash the emptied stomach and intestines, but also effectively dilute the blood, reduce blood viscosity, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Nowadays, there are so many drinks on the market that people are dizzying. Director Hong Zhongxin said that compared with drinks, pure boiled water is the most thirst-quenching thing. At the same time, boiled water is also rich in a variety of minerals, which can regulate the body's fluid balance.

In contrast, pure, distilled water should be drunk sparingly.

Fruit and vegetable juices are nutritious and hydrating, so you can drink more of them. Due to the large number of additives contained in various functional drinks, you should be as careful as possible when choosing them. Some additives can even increase the metabolic burden on a person. Children should drink as few carbonated drinks as possible.

In addition, strong tea and salt water cannot replace drinking water. Because strong tea is diuretic, it will affect the body's water balance and cause cell dehydration. Because the sodium content of cells is very low, after drinking saline on an empty stomach, the saline can enter the blood and tissues, but cannot enter the cells, and too much salt will also dehydrate the cells.

My mother drinks boiled water and honey every morning, and my mother says that this is good for health, and drinking honey cures stools!

If you are constipated, it is recommended to drink light salt water, if you don't drink plain water, you can drink it as soon as you get up, and then eat breakfast after a decade or two.

All the same, drink some light salt water.

Drink plain water and you're fine.
