In life, some people like to drink water very much. They think that drinking more water can keep their skin moisturized and make the skin delicate.
Skin cells need moisture to nourish, drink plenty of water every day to have good skin. But make no mistake, drinking more water is not drinking too much. Drinking water also needs to be moderate, not as much as possible. Drinking too much water can easily lead to physical discomfort, so you should pay attention to drinking water in your daily life.
What happens if you drink too much water
1. Headache
People who drink a lot of water every day are prone to headaches, because drinking too much water can cause excessive swelling and growth of brain cells, which can induce headaches and discomfort.
2. A certain part of the body is swollen
Drink too much water on weekdays, and the whole person can easily become swollen. Because drinking too much water, the body cannot absorb all the water, which causes excess water to stay in the body. Over time, it will cause swelling in certain parts of the body, such as swelling of the hands, feet, and lips.
3. Becoming weak
People who drink too much water will feel weak. This is because there is too much water in the body, and the kidney organs will continue to operate to drain the excess water out of the body. As a result, the pressure on the body will greatly increase, and people will therefore feel very tired and appear weak.
4. Frequent urination
Everyday people will feel the urge to urinate soon after drinking water. This is because when people drink too much water, the function of the kidney organs will speed up and produce more urine. After the urine in the bladder is full, it will naturally urinate. Therefore, people who drink too much water on weekdays are prone to frequent urination, which means they will go to the toilet frequently.
What misunderstandings should be avoided in daily drinking water
1. Drink plenty of water before going to bed
Some people feel dry mouth and tongue before going to bed, and fear that they will wake up thirsty in the middle of the night, so they will habitually drink a glass of warm water before going to bed. Even drinking more than a glass of water is wrong behavior. Because drinking a lot of water before going to bed will increase the burden on the kidneys, and it is easy to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, which will seriously affect the quality of sleep and cause insomnia.
2. Drink water immediately after a meal
Some people like to eat heavy-tasting foods on weekdays, such as spicy, salty, and sweet foods. After eating these foods, people feel thirsty and want to drink water. So some people are used to drinking a cup or two to quench their thirst after eating.
It is wrong to do this, because the gastric juice is diluted after drinking water, which is not conducive to digesting food. Therefore, people who are accustomed to drinking water after a meal often feel that their abdomen is swollen and very uncomfortable.
3. Drinking water too fast
When the weather is hot, many people habitually drink water when they enter indoors from outside. Drink a glass of water three times and five times, and then finish drinking. Such a fast drinking speed will cause the water in the body to increase rapidly, which is extremely easy to increase the burden on the heart. Sometimes chest tightness and difficulty breathing may occur. Therefore, you should take your time to drink water on weekdays, and drink it in small sips. Do not pick up the sip and pour water into your mouth continuously.
4. Drink ice water
The summer is hot, and many people are keen to drink ice water, because drinking ice water makes the whole body feel very cool, which helps to lower body temperature quickly. But it is very bad for your health, because ice water contains cold air. After drinking the stomach, the intestines and stomach will stimulate the cold air, and it is easy to have stomachache, abdominal pain and other discomforts.
Furthermore, women are most afraid of cold air. Drinking ice water frequently will cause a lot of cold air and moisture to accumulate in the body. Once it penetrates into the uterus, it will cause the warm environment of the uterus to become cold and cause the uterine cold. Once the palace cold appears, women are prone to lower abdomen pain when menstruation, that is, dysmenorrhea. If you don’t drive away cold and dampness for a long time, it will easily lead to infertility.
Therefore, for the sake of health, you should not drink ice water, you should drink warm water.
