Healthy Hydration: Mastering the Rhythm is Key
About 70% of the human body is water. Properly replenishing fluids determines a large part of your health. Mindlessly drinking water, not paying attention to timing, and drinking indiscriminately regarding quality can all be harmful to your body and may affect your health for the next decade.
Humans Cannot Live Without Water
Supermarkets offer an ever-increasing variety of waters. Some people even consider beverages as their source of the recommended 8 glasses of water daily, while they haven't drunk a single glass of the water their body truly needs.
Water Cannot Be Drunk Indiscriminately
Don't get these two timing points wrong:
Do not drink salt water in the morning
Although it is said that drinking salt water in the morning can reduce bloating, this is actually incorrect. The body loses a lot of moisture at night, and in the morning, the blood is already concentrated. Salt water will only worsen hypertonic dehydration, making you feel thirstier. At the same time, drinking salt water in the morning can easily raise blood pressure, which is very harmful to people with hypertension.
Hydrating before meals is best for the stomach
Before eating solid food, drink 100ml of water first. This can be room-temperature juice, yogurt, sugar water, or even warm plain water; all are excellent ways to nourish the stomach.
