Not only does it help maintain the water balance in the body, it also helps aid digestion, softens and lubricates tissues, and helps cleanse the body by removing toxins. In addition, water also helps maintain moisture in the skin and eyes, improves thinking, and increases energy.

Most people's fluid needs are met through water, daily beverages, or foods with high water content such as berries and vegetables. Research shows that not having enough water in the human body can negatively impact concentration, alertness, and short-term memory.

"3 no's" when drinking water

According toAboluowangBelow are 3 things you need to keep in mind when adding water to your body to avoid harming blood vessels.

Don't drink too much water at once

Many people have the habit of not dividing their water intake into small portions but instead drinking a large amount of water at a certain time, especially after exercise or when feeling thirsty.

However, this method is very harmful to blood vessels. Absorbing a large amount of water at once will cause the amount of fluid in the body to increase suddenly, leading to a sudden increase in blood volume in a short period of time, increasing pressure on blood vessels, which can accelerate the process of blood vessel damage.

Especially patients with heart disease or high blood pressure, are susceptible to ruptured blood vessels or even heart failure due to this sudden increase in water. Therefore, you should divide the amount of water you drink, do not drink it all at once, to avoid putting too much pressure on the blood vessels.

Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water.

Thirst is the body's way of responding to a lack of water, warning that the body is losing a lot of water. Some people often ignore water supplementation, leading to thick blood, increasing the burden on blood vessels, even causing problems such as high blood pressure and atherosclerosis. You should pay attention to supplementing water appropriately during the day, should not let thirst occur.

Do not drink water that is too hot or too cold.

In the summer, cold water becomes the first choice of many people; in the winter, hot water is often used to warm the body. However, water that is too cold or too hot can irritate the blood vessels.

Cold water can cause blood vessels to suddenly constrict, while hot water will dilate blood vessels. Frequent temperature fluctuations will affect the elasticity of blood vessels, and can even cause blood vessels to rupture.

In addition, drinking water that is too hot, over 65 degrees, also increases the risk of esophageal cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified hot drinks over 65 degrees Celsius as a group 2A carcinogen. This means that they can cause cancer in humans./.
