In summer, drinking enough water will quench your thirst, but you should avoid these three mistakes

Ms. Mo, a Guangzhou citizen, is currently working as an intern accountant in a private enterprise. Normally, in order to ensure the body gets the required amount of water, Ms. Mo will make seasonal soup to regulate her body, and she also eats fruit every day. Therefore, in spring, autumn and winter, Miss Mo rarely feels thirsty. But recently, with the arrival of hot summer, Miss Mo often feels thirsty, but can't find the reason? In this regard, experts pointed out that it is not enough to replenish the water needed by the body by relying solely on fruits, soups, etc. You must drink more safe water, especially high-quality mineral water and purified water.

In summer, drinking water can quench your thirst

Relevant data show that the human body can sweat up to 500~1000ml per day in summer. The human body consumes a lot of water, so the demand for drinking water naturally increases significantly. If you don't drink boiled water and only rely on soup, fruit, juice, milk, etc. to replenish water, it will be difficult to quench your thirst. In addition, the water contained in foods such as soups, fruits, juices, milk, and beverages cannot completely replace the effectiveness of drinking water.

It is understood that water accounts for 2/3 of the human body, and the water content of a healthy adult male can reach 60% of his body weight. Health experts point out that water is not only the main component of the body, but also plays important physiological functions such as regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients, metabolizing waste, and lubricating joints. "Eight glasses of water a day" is the guideline for drinking water. In addition, doctors recommend that it is best to choose high-quality mineral water or purified water in summer.

There is a lot to know about drinking water in summer

It is better to know how to drink water than to drink more water. How to drink water in summer is also a science. Health experts point out that in summer, you should avoid drinking ice water or guzzling water, and also avoid drinking large amounts of water after strenuous exercise.

Avoid ice drinks: Due to the hot weather in summer, many people choose to drink ice water to quench their thirst and cool down. A glass of ice water is particularly refreshing, but it is only for momentary pleasure and may cause health risks. Some experts pointed out that drinking warm water is a good choice to quench thirst and cool down. Drinking warm water may not give you the same pleasure as drinking ice water, but it is more beneficial to your body.

Avoid drinking too much water at one time. This often happens after intense exercise or after not drinking water for a long time. Doctors point out that when people are thirsty, they should try to drink water slowly and slowly, and drink enough water in several times. If you drink more than 200-300 ml of water at one time, you are likely to suffer from "water poisoning". It is better to drink more water in summer, but not too much at one time. It is better to drink slowly, in small amounts, and frequently.

Avoid drinking a lot of water after strenuous exercise: Drinking a lot of water after strenuous exercise will reduce the salt content in the blood. In addition, sweating will cause a large amount of salt loss, which will easily reduce the cellular osmotic pressure, leading to metabolic disorders and muscle cramps. Therefore, after strenuous exercise, even if you are thirsty, you should not drink too much water at one time. You should drink water in small amounts multiple times. Drinking a lot of water immediately after strenuous exercise can also easily lead to diarrhea.
