How, how much and when to drink clean water
In sports and fashion magazines write about the benefits of water with enviable regularity. On social networks, there are numerous and sometimes contradictory data about it. Layfhaker parses popular misconceptions and finds out when, in what form and quantity to use water.
1. Drink eight glasses a day.
The formula of eight glasses roams from magazine to journal. This absurdly simplified rule, published in the foreign press as early as 1945, assumes that the liquid consumed (including with foodstuffs) per day will be equivalent to about two liters of water. Water can be consumed in any form: in soup, juices, vegetables and fruits, tea. But the phrase “drink eight glasses of water a day” is taken literally.
Two liters - the average value, suitable for a healthy adult, not engaged in physical labor. Men and women, athletes and office workers, residents of cold and hot countries need different amounts of water.
It is best to focus on thirst. Want to drink - drink. The main thing - to compensate for the loss of water that provides metabolism, which is especially important for overweight people. Scientists from the Indian Medical College in Navi Mumbai conducted a study Effects of Overweight Subjects. on a group of people 18–23 years old who drank half a liter of water three times a day for eight weeks: before breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the end of the experiment, the weight of the subjects decreased.
Drinking pure water is also helpful. Unlike juices, coffee or milk, water does not contain caffeine, fats, carbohydrates and other substances that can harm the body when it is consumed excessively.
In 2010, researchers found Drink water to curb weight gain? Clinical trial confirms the effectiveness of simple appetite control method.that drinking water before eating reduces calorie intake.
2. Need to drink bottled water
This misconception is supported by completely objective data on the low quality of tap water in different cities of Russia. But if from the tap water flows the appropriate sanitary standards, you can drink it. True, this can only be checked in the laboratory, so it is better to filter and boil the tap.
Manufacturers produce bottled drinking and mineral water, and it can be the same liquid that pours from the tap, only more expensive. And mineral water can also be curative - such water cannot be drunk without special recommendations and restrictions.
3. Drinking while eating is bad
It's funny, but people say that, convinced of the benefits of soups and the dangers of eating bread without food. In fact, washing down food with water, we help the stomach to absorb the food eaten.
4. Drinking during exercise is harmful.
Older Soviet athletes sometimes say that liquid drunk during exercise increases blood volume, causing the heart to make more effort at work. In fact, everything is exactly the opposite. When fluid is lost, blood becomes thicker. This complicates the work of the heart muscle. Nutritionists and trainers are advised to drink at any time training, as well as before and after it. The main thing - do not drink too much, but more on that below.
5. Do not drink too much
This statement is half a myth. The thesis that excessive drinking prevents losing weight does not have any scientific basis, because we remember that water provides our metabolism. Excess water is excreted from the body by natural means. If the body tends to save fluid, consult a doctor.
To harm the body with water, you need to drink it very much, maybe even against your will. Scientists from the Institute of Neurophysiology and Mental Health in Melbourne argue that when water is consumed in excess of the norm, a mechanism that suppresses the swallowing reflex is activated in the human brain.
More than three liters for an hour to drink is not recommended, especially for athletes. During exercise, sodium is removed from the body. Its deficiency in water consumption leads to hyponatremia, in which fluid is not removed from the body, but accumulates in the cells.
6. Drinking plenty of fluids helps fight ARVI and hangover.
Many people know that during a cold, you need to drink plenty of water, but not everyone understands why. By itself, the water does not cure the flu and ARVI. It replenishes the fluid lost during the illness, which is also important.
With a hangover, water is needed for exactly the same reasons. Alcohol intensively removes fluid from the body, so we need to fill it. The benefits of a folk remedy for a hangover - brine - confirmed by scientific data. The salt contained in the brine helps to compensate for the loss of sodium. The main thing - do not overdo it.

Author, you misunderstood the results of the Indian study. 50 fat women drank not half a liter of water a day, but half a liter half a liter three times a day half an hour before meals. Correct. It was time for women for three weeks, during the course of the week. .

completely illiterate article in every paragraph. I heard a ringing, I do not know where he is. "Producers produce distilled and mineral water." Distilled drinking water is simply not allowed to sell, as drinking it is harmful. Even such craftsmen sell us water from the tap as two well-known global brands (guess who they are, and they honestly write on the labels that water "from the city water supply well") first carry out water treatment - bring the water from the tap to the distillate practically, and then artificially mineralized. Artesian water and even tap water is not water and that's all. There is always mineralization, potassium, sodium, magnesium, well, at least sodium should be. Otherwise, you will drink empty water and cranes for a year. Hunters in the taiga when they drink thawed snow or water from streams always salt. Otherwise, muscular strength is lost, metabolic processes are disturbed, and for a year of drinking empty by nature (water in the mountains, glaciers and melt is often empty) or empty from the filter or after boiling, teeth and bones sprinkle. The water in the bottle can be mineral (and this is divided into medicinal, which the doctor prescribed with cups and a medicinal canteen, which you can drink as a soft drink, but still not 2 liters per day) and drinking. Drinking contains minerals, but in smaller quantities. However, this amount is important for us, especially when playing sports, when useful salts are washed out later, and the need for sodium almost doubles.

Drinking as much as you want is only partly true. We just are not accustomed to follow the regime of drinking. Any number of people with dried, dehydrated skin. They complain about high hemoglobin, and even when the doctor says - drink more, I can not pour in more than half a liter of water a day for a long time: tea or coffee. soda still. everything. WHO proposed a formula of 30ml * per kilogram of weight. It's minimum. In soups, tea and jelly water too. But for the body it is already “food”. 2n per day is a very conditional thing, right. It is necessary to take into account the lifestyle, state of health. But the minimum of good water should be. A hangover syndrome and poisoning is better to treat with mineral water with a higher sodium content than plain artesian drinking water. But it is better to divide between the artesian drinking and mineral medical-dining room (medicinal one is a separate song!), If you like mineral water. And be sure to think where your bottled water is. Good water is a good well, in an ecologically clean zone, deep, with a protected aquifer and where the water receives its ionic composition from nature. Such wells - still search. Therefore, most manufacturers take water from the tap or bore a well directly at the plant and forward. If you read “specially prepared water”, “recovered” on the label - this is exactly the case. Water must be natural. The rest is marketing + salt on the scales and keep tap water at a premium of 500 times. That same water that you deliberately refuse to drink. Boiling, by the way, kills most of the beneficial properties of water. Of course, if you drink the water is obviously not very clear - in the river, for example, it is better to boil it. And if from the tap in the new building runs rusty water - it is better to put a filter. But it is most useful to drink raw but good water. And alas, today such water is increasingly found only in bottles, and even then - not in all. Health to all.

How to drink water
All water drunk on an empty stomach cleanses the body. A glass of cold water is useful for those who have constipation. A glass of hot water on an empty stomach helps to clean the digestive tract of toxins by washing them.
You need to drink between meals, but not with meals. During the meal you do not need to drink water - it violates the digestion. It is better to chew food thoroughly, then saliva will be enough in the mouth - the first liquid that meets with food when it enters the oral cavity and is actively involved in preparing for the digestive process in the stomach. It is especially harmful to drink food with cold water.
Drink immediately after a meal is also not necessary - it stretches the stomach, then to saturate you will need more food in volume. It is useful to drink water in small sips, the water drunk in one gulp does not nourish the cells, but quickly leaves the body with sweat and urine. To drink water during the day is better to warm, so as not to waste energy on warming the water.
How much to drink water
Recognized rate for a person with a normal physique and not having chronic diseases: Daily rate: 30 grams of water per 1 kg of weight Example: 70 kg (weight) x 30 g (water) = 2л100gr - the daily rate of intake of clean water If you are a healthy person with a normal weight, then an excessive intake of water will not hurt you. The body uses as much water as it needs. Excess he just displays.
Determine whether you drink enough water by urine color: If it is dark, then you drink little. Light - normal.
When to drink water
Immediately after waking up, after brushing your teeth, drink about one glass of raw water, it is good if it is structured. It is useful for activating the digestive system, and for better waking up. Charging, walking - then another glass of water.
30 minutes before breakfast - 1 glass of water. 30 minutes before the main meal and 1.5 hours after. Further during the day - after each visit to the toilet we drink some water.
After 15 hours you need to reduce the number of doses of water and its amount. Before bedtime you should not drink plenty of water - this is fraught with edema for people suffering from kidney disease. But at the same time, a little water before bed eliminates a heart attack and a stroke.
One glass of water before taking a bath lowers blood pressure. In the heat you need to drink enough, but skillfully, since a lot of sweating and lack of water can lead to dehydration.
In winter, the fluid is removed by breathing through the lungs. Therefore, even if you do not want to drink, you still need to do it. It is useful for athletes to replenish the water balance - drink water sip every half hour. During exercise, the blood thickens, threatening the formation of blood clots and the pressure decreases.
When dieting, be sure to drink enough water, so the body is cleared of decay products. With a decrease in the amount of food, they do not become smaller, and it can even be said that their quantity increases, since the breakdown of fats begins and many metabolic products must be eliminated with water.
How to teach yourself to drink water
Develop the habit of drinking water, to do this, put a reminder on your phone or computer, start a timer. Pour your daily rate of water into a jug or take a two-liter bottle. This will be a visual reference of how much water you drank per day. Put a glass of water in your field of vision, as soon as it runs out of water, pour again. Carry a water bottle always with you.
General tips
If you do not want to drink, you need to force yourself, developing the habit of drinking water. If you want to drink, then you definitely need to drink. Of course, urination will be strengthened, but you need to understand that it is good for health and therefore do not need to be shy.
Many say that a lot of water to drink is simply impossible. But if you gradually increase the intake of water, the body gets used to it and its natural cleansing occurs. Edemas pass, because there is no need to store water, the body begins to understand. Swelling occurs not because of water, but because of products that block water from the body. This is excess salt and spices.
It is necessary to exclude from the diet diuretic drinks: coffee, tea, alcohol, soda. Replace snacks, smoke breaks and a cup of coffee with a glass of water. In the cafe, drink water without gas. Always have a supply of drinking water in the car, in your bag, on the table at home.
You need to know that if there is a strong thirst, then it passes after the first sip in only 10 minutes. Imagine how much water you can drink in 10 minutes! If thirst is caused by heat, then drinking plenty will not be beneficial, but will only cause sweating. Therefore, it is better to drink in small sips.
You can not drink a lot of water, minerals are derived. It is not useful for patients with cardiovascular diseases and kidney diseases, as well as washed sodium, contributes to violations of the heart and seizures.
In order not to wash out the necessary minerals with water, you need to take a little salt. All solutions in the body can be said saline, like sea water. Sea salt contains enough minerals to fill the body. But do not dissolve salt in water, because it is not absorbed in the intestines. After eating, you need to take a few salt crystals and dissolve them in your mouth until completely dissolved.
