The hot summer makes the body susceptible to dehydration due to excessive sweating, sunny outdoor activities or working in air conditioning.
A common mistake when drinking summer water is to only drink it when thirsty or drink too much water at one time.Feeling thirsty is a sign that the body has lost 1-2% of its water.Drinking water that is too cold, carbonated soft drinks or energy drinks can easily cause digestive disorders and electrolyte loss.
Adults should drink 1.5-2.5 liters of water per day, depending on their weight, movement and environment.People who are active outdoors or work in hot environments need to increase the alcohol concentration to 3 liters/day and supplement electrolyte juice if they sweat a lot.Divide the amount of water you drink throughout the day, drinking about 200-250ml every 2 hours.
The golden time to drink water is right after waking up, drinking a glass of warm water helps activate the digestive system and detoxify.
Before going out in the sun (15-30 minutes) to avoid burnout.
Before and after exercising, drink small sips, add electrolyte juice if needed.
30 minutes before meals helps aid digestion and control appetite.
Avoid drinking a lot of water before bed to avoid urinating and affecting sleep.
In addition to the water, you can supplement water from fruits such as watermelon, orange, cucumber, or unsweetened juice, herbal tea.Limit caffeinated, alcohol-rich or sugary drinks.
Drinking water regularly helps cool down, increase metabolism, improve the skin and prevent many diseases.The secret to living healthy sometimes is simply to drink water properly.
