Perhaps many people do not know that drinking water is also an important part of health care, especially in the cold season. According to Jiao Weidong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Zhengzhou Central Hospital, the weather was cold in this season, at home or in the office, and air conditioning was started. In this environment, because the air is relatively dry, we breathe in the dry air and exhale the moist air. Unconsciously, the body is "water-deficient".

Jiao Weidong, deputy chief physician, reminded us that we cannot wait until we are thirsty and drink water. When it comes to thirst, the body's "water shortage" is actually very serious. And water is very important to our physical health, especially for the elderly. 70% of the body weight of an adult is the weight of water. Only this point, how important water is to us is self-evident. The aging of the elderly due to physical function, if the lack of water, the health impact is much greater than young people.

For many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients, water is the best drug to dilute blood. If the body is short of water, this time taking medicines to promote blood circulation and phlegm, will greatly reduce their own help. Many patients with constipation actually do not need to take medicine because their disease is caused by water shortage. Jiao Weidong, deputy director of doctors pointed out that drinking plenty of water, after a period of time, the stool naturally smooth.

However, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for us to drink enough water every day to reach the amount of water the body needs. An average person drinks 1500-2000 ml of water a day, plus the food should be 3000-4000 ml. Correctly speaking, the amount of water needed by a person a day has 8 cups. If a person really drinks eight glasses of water a day and he is not an athlete, then he could not leave WC on this day.

In fact, people drink eight or eight cups a day, which contains water extracted from food and drinking water, such as rice. Noodles (our Chinese people's staple food has high water content) is hydrated because water is a variety of substances in the body. The carrier, when the body is not short of water, detoxification does not need to consume too much energy, so normal drinking is beneficial to health. In addition, the need to remind is that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, if there is no problem with liver and kidney function, it is recommended to drink a glass of water before going to bed, which has a lot of help for their own health.
