However, there is a lot of controversy over drinking what:
Honey water moistens intestines and beautifies skin? Light salt water to clear intestines and detoxify? Cold water refreshing? Hot water replenishes Yang Qi? There are tea, milk, coffee, soya-bean milk…
How should I drink this cup of water in the morning? What would you like to drink?
Get up in the morning and have a glass of water. Give yourself a breath first.
When sleeping, people’s breathing, perspiration and urination are still in progress. These physiological activities will consume a lot of water.
Although I don’t feel thirsty after getting up, my body will still have thick blood due to lack of water.
Drinking water can reduce blood viscosity and increase circulating blood volume, especially if you feel thirsty when you get up early, drinking water is quite good.
However, this glass of water has several points to pay attention to…
Should I drink what for the first cup in the morning?
1. Honey water, not recommended
Some people especially admire getting up in the morning and drinking a cup of honey water on an empty stomach.
However, in order to achieve the effect, there are two prerequisites:
Your body [fructose intolerance], which is determined by genes; Drink enough honey.
A cup of honey water is not enough, at least dozens of grams of honey, are you really not afraid of a long month and a half?
This is because honey itself cannot moisten the bowels to relieve constipation, but people with fructose intolerance may have diarrhea if they drink a large amount of honey and their intestines are difficult to absorb a large amount of fructose. Therefore, in order to relieve constipation by honey water, they must first suffer from severe fructose intolerance and then drink a large amount of honey.
For most people, drinking a cup of light honey water is estimated to have no obvious difference in laxative effect from drinking plain boiled water.
However, if it is diabetic, drinking honey water is not conducive to controlling blood sugar stability.
2. Light brine, not recommended
After one night, the body is already short of water. Drinking a cup of salt water at this time will aggravate the water shortage.
Moreover, the salt content in the diet of Chinese residents generally exceeds the standard.
In addition to three meals a day, you have to drink light salt water and eat more salt. Isn’t this something?
Especially for people with hypertension, heart disease and renal dysfunction, don’t drink it.
3. Other drinks, by situation
Tea, coffee, soya-bean milk, milk… If these drinks are not uncomfortable, you can drink them, and be careful not to put sugar as much as possible.
However, attention should be paid to the following situations:
- People suffering from gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and recovery period of gastrointestinal surgery, Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is not recommended for people who suffer from acid regurgitation, heartburn and other discomfort after drinking coffee. Milk is not recommended for people who are lactose intolerant. There are also some drinks, such as fruit juice sold in supermarkets, which contain amazing sugar content. Long-term use of these drinks instead of drinking water may lead to a decrease in the overall amount of drinking water. If you are uncomfortable, then these drinks are still not recommended…
4. Plain boiled water is an eternal recommendation.
Plain boiled water is safe and sanitary, and will neither increase energy intake nor cause [sugar] excess.
So, do you want cold water or hot water?
As long as it’s not too hot (≤ 65 ℃), you can drink what if you like what, and you don’t pay so much attention.
In short, for most people, cold boiled water and warm boiled water can be drunk, depending on personal preference.
The Three Highlights of Drinking Water in the Morning
1. How much water should I drink when I get up in the morning?
The < < Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016 Edition) > > suggests that healthy people over 2 years old can drink 1 cup (200ml) of water on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning.
Special groups such as the elderly and children, if they find it difficult to drink 200 milliliters (1 cup) of water at one time, can drink a small amount of water many times, such as drinking it 2-3 times, each time 50-100 milliliters.
In addition, it is suggested that patients suffering from kidney diseases or some metabolic diseases decide the amount of water to drink under the guidance of doctors, so as not to burden the body and aggravate the original diseases.
In short, this glass of water should be drunk according to one’s ability.
2. People with bad intestines and stomach should pay attention to what?
People whose stomach and intestines are not very good should try their best to avoid choosing strong tea, coffee and other drinks. If it is a person with serious deficiency of gastric juice secretion, special attention should also be paid not to drink too much water at one time to avoid diluting gastric juice and affecting digestion.
3. How should people who exercise in the morning drink?
It is necessary to drink water before getting up in the morning to exercise. It is generally recommended to drink a cup (200ml) of water after getting up. You can also drink some sports drinks before running to supplement energy appropriately.
If you run for more than half an hour, replenish water in time to avoid dehydration.
Finally, let’s recite a poem:
From tomorrow on,
Be a person who drinks plain boiled water on an empty stomach,
Drinks, salt water, all refused.
