“Drinking more water” can solve more than half of the world’s problems.
Got a cold? drink plenty of water; stomach aches? drink more water; unhappy? Drink more water……
These three words make my ears feel calloused, but I have to admit that I really care about people who don’t drink enough water.
We need to get water from food and drinking water every day. The dietary guidelines recommend that adults should drink 1500-1700 ml of water a day (according to a glass of water of 200 ml, it is about eight cups).
But in life, there are always various reasons that block our way of drinking water.
I am too busy with work and forget it; the water has no taste, I don’t like it; it will not be thirsty, forget it…
Don’t be lazy, my friends! Drinking water is a small thing, but as long as you stick to it, it will really bring many unexpected benefits.
What happens to your body when you drink more water?
In order to find the answer, four sisters who don’t like water did an experiment. They had to drink eight glasses of water every day for 30 days. They also invited Albert Matheny, a physiologist and registered dietitian, to provide professional answers and guidance.
Before the start of the experiment, the sisters expressed their thoughts, and they summed up as follows: “I know drinking water is good, but I just don’t have this habit, and I don’t like to drink it. And I haven’t drank water in the past few days (it should be said to drink water) water), and I don’t feel anything.”
Everyone remember what they said and see if it will be “really fragrant” after 30 days
The experiment started. At first, everyone thought it was difficult to keep drinking water, but gradually, they felt some wonderful changes.
Drink enough water to make the intestines more open
The change that the sisters resonate with is that the bowel movement is smoother, and even has to pull two or three times a day.
Kuwilileni, who just came out of the bathroom, is excited to share her very smooth experience just now
We have talked about the “world problem” of how to make bowel movements more regular and smoother many times. In addition to moderate exercise, increasing dietary fiber, and developing regular bowel movements, water is also very important.
For most people, drinking enough water can promote intestinal peristalsis, and it can also make the stool more watery, better to pass, and prevent constipation to a certain extent (for already constipated cases, drinking water is of limited help).
The constipation problem was solved, and drinking enough water also brought a surprise to the sisters.
Drink enough water to lose weight
Sarah, who was not good at drinking water before the start of the experiment, said that after drinking water, she felt less craving for junk food. Unexpectedly, she lost 4 pounds in the first week. Although it did not change much later, after a month, she lost a lot of weight. 6 pounds! (about 5.4 pounds)
Drinking water is no longer difficult for Sarah
When you drink enough water, your body’s metabolism will proceed more smoothly, and you will be more aware of the signals your body sends.
Because hunger and thirst feel very similar, when you feel hungry, you may just be thirsty. And when you drink enough water and don’t feel thirsty easily, the feeling of hunger is really your body reminding you to eat.
For people who want to control their food intake, drinking water can also help. Studies have shown that drinking 500 ml of water half an hour before meals to “fill with water” can affect the cerebral cortex and reduce appetite.
If you can suppress your appetite by drinking water (a light soup is fine) before meals every day, you can eat up to 225 less calories a day. This is equivalent to jogging for half an hour, swimming for half an hour, and cycling for an hour to burn calories.
Friends who are losing weight but have trouble keeping their mouths shut, stop dieting, and drink water quickly.
Regarding other benefits of drinking water, what girls hear the most is that it will make the skin better, such as fewer acne, wrinkles, dark circles, and so on. Is it really so magical?
Can drinking water make your skin better?
Two sisters did feel the change in their skin.
Kuwilileni： “My skin is in great shape now, and my face is beautiful without makeup.”
Cheryl：‘’When I look in the mirror in the morning, my skin is brighter and I look younger. “
Others said they didn’t feel any changes in their skin.
In fact, the relationship between drinking water and skin is not as big as rumored. Water is not a medicine and cannot cure skin diseases. In most cases, the skin will not be dehydrated and chapped due to lack of water.
Because skin condition is not only related to moisture content, but also to the skin itself. For example, dry skin may be caused by the easy loss of water from the epidermis after the skin barrier is damaged.
But that’s not to say that drinking water isn’t good for your skin at all, and if you don’t usually drink too much water, the overall benefits of drinking more water can make you look radiant.
The benefits of drinking enough water go far beyond these three points.
Drink enough water, and more benefits
➊ Can help fish to reduce sedentary.
The sisters in the documentary mentioned that after drinking more water, they frequently ran to the toilet, but it was not uncomfortable (it just brought a little trouble, especially when the toilet could not be found).
In other words, going to the toilet once an hour does not just help us reduce the harm of sedentary life, and we can also catch fish by the way, why not do it.
➋ Improves symptoms of some diseases.
Q: What made you start drinking more water?
Answer: Kidney stones.
It’s a joke, but there’s a scientific truth to it.
For specific disease states, such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and hyperuricemia, drinking plenty of water can help improve the condition.
➌ Drinking water is very important for people who exercise and gain muscle.
I don’t know if you have noticed that people who are fitness and muscle gainers always carry a large water bottle in their hands; athletes also pay close attention to replenishing water between competitions.
Because drinking water can help build muscle and improve exercise performance in addition to replenishing the water lost through sweating and reducing the increase in core body temperature caused by exercise.
Human adipose tissue basically has no water, while fully hydrated muscle tissue has a water content of about 75%. Therefore, for people who want to gain muscle, it is very important to drink enough water and ensure that the body is adequately hydrated.
Having said so much, some friends may still struggle with “but the water is not good, I really can’t drink it…”
It’s okay, netizens have prepared the answer, just copy it.
How to make you fall in love with drinking water
Method 1: straws save lazy people
“With a straw, you can easily drink more water”, this is the personal experience of many people.
The straw is so convenient, and you can drink as much as you want, you don’t need your hands to match the angle, and you don’t have to worry about the water spilling out.
The threshold is also very low, a glass straw or stainless steel straw can be done.
When you are away from home, you can also prepare a lid that can be inserted into a straw, so that the bottled water can be instantly turned into a straw drinking cup.
Method 2: Pick a cup you like
A while ago, there was a hot search #The desire to drink water all depends on the cup#. Netizens unanimously said that a favorite cup can really increase the desire to drink water.
For example, a water glass that makes you feel empowered:
Or a large water glass with a scale, you can see at a glance how much water you drink every day. For people who are “uncomfortable if they can’t finish drinking,” the effect of hydration is more significant.
Or this water cup with good wishes:
A cup you like can really make drinking water full of motivation and ritual.
Method 3: Add some tricks to the water
Young people are no longer satisfied with “drinking more hot water”.
What kind of flowers, fruits, tea leaves, wolfberries, as long as they can be soaked in water to make colorless and odorless water attractive and delicious, they are willing to try.
Although water is no longer that water, as long as no sugar is added, it is still good water. If you are looking for taste, you can also use sugar-free soda.
Finally, the real fragrance moment is revealed!
After the 30-day drinking water experiment, the four sisters expressed that they recognized the benefits of water and fell in love with drinking water!
They feel better, have more energy, and their bodies enter a virtuous cycle.
Kuwilileni：”I was stunned, drinking water stimulated my energy and happiness, my mood became super good, it was not so difficult to get up and fall asleep.”
Elena：I’m so glad I took part in this experiment, realized the benefits of drinking water, and now I don’t feel stressed out because I don’t like water. “
