Today I am talking about the most important thing about our body "Water".
⇒ All humans need it to survive.
⇒ 2/3 of your body is composed of the stuff and drinking water is undoubtedly part of your daily diet. There are ways. It can be harmful And the weird part. You may be drinking the wrong way. All the time without even knowing it. Stay tuned to learn more about how to get the most from your water intake.
1. Drink water at the end of your morning routine.
Wake up Brush teeth Eat breakfast drink water. Does that sound familiar? Many people do those things in that order every morning but by not drinking water first thing when waking up even before brushing your teeth. You are depriving yourself of health benefits When you wake up in the morning. Your mouth is full of saliva. This saliva aids the digestion process and helps things move along so if you're not drinking water first thing in the morning you're missing out on the good stuff. Ingesting this saliva ensures healthy digestion throughout your day. Keep a glass of water beside your bed so you can take a few sips of it after just waking up. Just remember not to jug it. Then go ahead and brush your teeth. Good morning, indeed.
2. Chugging water like there's no tomorrow.
So you've just gotten back from a particularly very tiring gym session and the first thing you do when you get home is chug a big tall glass of cold water. Hey, your farts and it feels like you can't get the water into your mouth fast enough. What could be wrong with that a lot First of all when you chug water down at record speeds it fills you up fast causing you to be This means your body doesn't have time to store the water to break down food and absorb their nutrients helping the fuel different organs and systems. You need to function. Additionally, drinking water fast in large amounts loots your saliva and is an important element of indigestion. Saliva helps stimulate the gastric juices in the stomach and if the water you're consuming doesn't carry enough the body won't digest and absorb it the right way.
But if you're super thirsty, what is the right way to drink water? According to Leonard Smith, a gastrointestinal vascular and general surgeon, sit two to three ounces of water at a time slowly throughout your day. Should do the trick That means every hour sipping. The recommended amount should quench your thirst Another reason why chugging water is a bad idea. There's actually such a thing as drinking too much water And if you're thirsty say after a workout or spending time outside and feel the need to chug copious amounts of water. You can potentially die from something called hyponatremia. So the next time you feel like shutting down a big glass of water. Remember to sip on it slowly and don't go too. Crazy
3. Drinking water immediately after a big meal.
Whether it's a bowl of Maggi or your mom's delicious food, sometimes after a meal drinking a tall glass of water sounds fantastic. But this is bad for your body. That's because after you eat a meal, a lot happens in that stomach of yours. When your body starts to digest food, gastric juices work hard to break down the food so your body can get both the necessary vitamins and nutrients and pass whatever is needed down to your intestines. If you drink tons of water while this is all happening you can dilute the gastric juices and cause insulin levels to rise This disruption and digestion can cause you to feel bloated and gassy and can cause indigestion.But it's not just drinking water immediately after meals that can cause this disruption chugging down water right before you chow down can have the same negative effects. If you’d like to drink water during a meal. It's okay to do so just do small sips and slowly. So what's the solution? Wait an hour or two after you eat before you drink a glass of water. That way a lot of the food has already begun to digest and the water won't be as detrimental to the process before meals. It's best to drink a reasonable amount of waterLike walk down a glass of water That way a lot of the food has already begun to digest and the water won't be as detrimental to the process And before meals, it's best to drink a reasonable amount of water 40 minutes prior.
4. Drinking H2O cold.
There's no denying that drinking a glass of ice-cold water is incredibly satisfying, especially on a hot summer day, but did you know that drinking chilled water can shrink your blood vessels and disrupt the digestion process did you know that drinking chilled water can shrink your blood vessels and disrupt the digestion process. It can also cause you to hold on to unwanted fats since cold temperatures solidify fat in the food you eat That could be while you're eating healthy but not seeing any results in addition to that drinking really cold water can give you a sore throat joint pain and even a slower heart rate That's because the cold temperature of the water can stimulate the vagus nerve. An important player in your body's nervous system which helps keep your body's heart rate normal Since the cold water stimulates the important Vagus nerve your heart rate can drop which can be dangerous to avoid any of these complications. It may be a good idea to switch to room-temperature water when you can. While it may not feel as satisfying as drinking ice-cold water, doing it more often than not will help you get more used to it.
5. Drinking water on the go.
Hey!! You're busy these days with your hectic work schedule. Your bustling social life and never-ending errands. You don't always have the option to slow down and that means drinking water while you're on the go standing, walking and even running. But this easy habit can wreak havoc on your body. Specifically on your body's filtration system AKA your kidneys see. That's because if you're standing or walking around while you drink you're likely to do it faster which as you learned earlier is bad for digestion and your overall health drinking while standing is also bad since, in this position, your muscles and nervous system aren't as relaxed as they are when you're sitting down This can cause a kink in the digestion process Since the fluid can't absorb properly.
This way you may have joint or inflammation issues with certain muscles and nerves. Can't get the water. They need it in the right way Even though it might be challenging. Try to give yourself a little time to sit down and sip on some water a few times a day Even if it's just five minutes, it can benefit your health.
