Whether you have a good hydration habit or not, I think the concept of eight glasses of water a day has been deeply rooted in your heart. Parents’ concerns on WeChat messages are nothing more than: adding clothes, eating, urging marriage, and replenishing water. As a "come here" 20-30 years older than us, I have no doubts about the authenticity of the sentence, "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice".
Parents' obsession with hydration seems to have been imprinted in our mind since we haven't been delivered. Since I can remember, the water cup cannot be dropped. The first cup of water in the morning must be drunk slowly to help clear the intestines. During the student period, the thermos was always by my side, for whom could carry four thermos with both hands, he would be a celebrity in the class, and will be tagged as "steadfast and kind", after a long time, it seems to have become a kind of Flag insulated from puppy love; after entering the society, as a small white collar worker in the new era, a cup of coffee every day It is indispensable. While boosting the spirit, it makes people feel that they are sitting in the office to move bricks. In any form, water is as essential as air, and it accompanies us throughout our lives.
While, why the elders are so obsessed with replenishing water. Is eight glasses of water reasonable? The term eight glasses of water comes from the 1974 book Nutrition for Good Health by nutritionists Margaret McWilliams and Frederick Stare, which recommended adulthood A person should drink an average of six to eight glasses of water a day. So the question is, how big is the cup? How much water? This is required. Eight cups refers to an eight-ounce cup, which is about 236.56ml/cup, and the total amount is 2000ml. The 2000ml here is for all the water that the human body can absorb, including food and drinks. If you can drink as same volume water as a can of Coke every hour during work, then congratulations, your daily drinking water must be qualified and exceeded, excluding water loss in special circumstances, such as high temperature work. Does that mean you have to drink eight glasses of water a day? I understand this statement, but it is not necessarily true. The human body is a complex internal environment, and everyone's physique is different. For people who sit in the office for a long time to deal with business, excessive hydration can even lead to the metabolic disorder of electrolytes such as sodium in the body, and excessive drinking of water will put pressure on the kidneys, even edema, frequent urination, and even water intoxication. The dietary guidelines for Chinese residents suggest that healthy adults should drink 1500-1700 ml of water per day, and this indicator can be referred to for daily drinking water. Drinking too much or too little water is not good for health. It can be seen that the statement of 2000ml of eight glasses of water is not completely correct. You still have to adjust it according to your own situation. Post a reasonable timetable for drinking water, which you can use for your own comparison:
First glass of water: 8 am
Second glass of water: 9 am
The third glass of water: 11:30 noon
Fourth glass of water: 1:30 pm
Fifth glass of water: 3:30 pm
Sixth glass of water: 5:30 p.m.
The seventh glass of water: seven o'clock in the evening
Eighth glass of water: 8:15 p.m.
Some people may not like the taste of white water very much. It is recommended to add some fresh lemon, goji berry, chrysanthemum tea, green tea, etc. in an appropriate amount. At the same time as seasoning, it also has diuretic, fire-reducing, and other effects; in herbal extract products, it is recommended to use some natural of water-soluble fruit powders, or effervescent tablets without additives, such as:
Cherry fruit powder, apple fruit powder, sweet orange fruit powder, citrus fruit powder, pineapple fruit powder, kiwi fruit powder, etc.
