If you suffer from health problems, skin problems, acidity, muscle aches, digestive problems, fatigue or migraines, then the probability is one of the main reasons Not drinking the right amount of water properly.
So long you have heard of water life, From this blog, you will learn how it can be a big cause of death if it is not drunk properly. So let's find out every day when and how much water you should drink so that it benefits you. Because it is a fact that 90% of us drink water in the wrong way, and proof of that is the diseases I mentioned at the beginning of the blog getting so much common among us. Oh god!
Again I forgot to
drink today’s water and by then you picked up the 1-liter water bottle and
drank 1 liter of water at once. Did you know that it is more harmful to you
than beneficial? In medical terms, it is called water intoxication or water poisoning. Our bodies have a limited capacity to hold a certain amount of water at the same time. If you drink too much water at once, it increases the percentage of
water in your blood.
As a result, the density of different electrolytes specially sodium starts to decrease and water starts to move from outside to the inside of cells, causing them to swell. When it happens to our brain cells it causes headaches, fatigue, and many other health problems.
This condition is also called hyponatremia. The question is, How do you know if you have enough water? Your urine color is an indicator of that. If it is dark yellow, it indicates a lack of water in your body. If it is transparent just like freshwater, then it indicates water excess in your body. Neither deficiency nor excess water is good for your body. If the color of your urine is very light yellow, it indicates that you have the right amount of water in your body.
So the color of your urine is a very efficient indicator. In addition, when you drink water while walking or standing, when you open your mouth upwards, a lot of air enters your stomach along with the water. which may cause acidity in your stomach. So, what you should do? First of all, do not drink more than 300ml of water at once. Second, sit somewhere and then drink water slowly by touching your mouth with the bottle or glass. Because when you will drink water slowly, the enzymes in your mouth will get a chance to mix with water and reach your stomach, which is very good for your digestion.
Always Drink Slowly
Are you one of
those people who can't eat without water? And some of them can't eat their food
without having soft drinks with it. That is more dangerous. If you are one of them then most likely it is when you suffer from acidity and digestive problems. Because just as we eat something after cooking it, in the same way when the
food reaches our stomach, gastric juice mix with it to get it digested. So it can be said that the second time food reaches our stomach, it is cooked by our stomach juice. Then only finally the food is digested. Now suppose while you are cooking, if someone keeps adding water to your saucepan, will the food be properly prepared? This is what happens when you eat food and drink
water. Because of drinking water, the density of the gastric juice starts to
decrease which results in causing digestion problems. So what should you do? You
should always drink water 30min before or after having your meal. Yes, if you
are eating very dry food then you can drink a little amount of water but that
is just to soak the throat.
You may have heard before also that 75% of our body is made of water.
So to recover this
amount of water we need to drink 2 to 2.5 liters of water per day. But in a
day, when and how should we drink water? At First, you should drink at least
300 ml of water right after getting up in the morning, before brushing your
teeth, or before breakfast. Because the enzymes in your mouth after a good
night's sleep are very much beneficial for your body.
This is why they
are said superior to gold in Ayurveda. But maximum of us go to brush our
teeth right after getting up, because of that the enzymes cannot reach to the
stomach.
So from tomorrow
morning after getting up, your first task is to drink 300ml or 1 glass
of water very
slowly. Then 30min before and after having your breakfast you have to drink
300ml or 1glass of water each time, that is a total of 600ml or 2 glasses of
water. In the same way, before and after having your lunch and dinner you have
to drink 300ml or glass of water.
Following this simple routine, you can drink 2 liters of water regularly. Remember to drink
water before and after meals, you can use your mobile phone alarm clock as a
reminder or you can use the app named water drink reminder.
Just as there is the right time to drink water, there are also bad times when you should never drink
water. This,
1) When eating
2) Right after
coming out of the toilet.
Because at that
time some of our muscles remain loose, so maximum of the water that we drink at
that time passes through our system without getting absorbed and as a result, we
have to go to the toilet again and again. You should not drink water at night
before going to bed. Because unless in the midnight you may have to wake up to go
to the toilet.
This will damage your sleep cycle and reduce the quality of your sleep So you should drink a little water at least an hour before going to bed. You should always avoid drinking water after intense workout sessions. Because during work, we lose a lot of electrolytes from our bodies due to sweating. If you drink a lot of water in this condition, the rest of the electrolytes in your body also dissolve in that water, causing nausea, fatigue and excess health problems.
So in this condition you should always drink Glucon-D type of drinks so that not only the water but also the electrolytes get restored in your body.
