Drinking too much water contributes to the leaching of electrolytes and lack of sodium, the expert states.
Dietitian Irina Strict named several mistakes that are often made when water consumption.
Too much. In an interview, the physician noticed that in the summer, advice on the obligatory drinking of water during the day sounds with renewed vigor. Sometimes specific numbers are given, from which it follows that you need to drink much more water.
“When you use more liquid, electrolyte reserves are washed out of the human body, and there may be a lack of sodium in the blood,” Strogaya warned.
According to the expert, such an imbalance can negatively affect well-being, many processes in the body. The nutritionist believes that you need to consume as much water as the body and its sense of thirst require. If there is a tendency to form kidney stones, you should drink at least 2.5 liters.
Single dose of a large amount. The expert advises not to make such a mistake and not to drink a large portion of liquid at once.< br>
“When a large amount of water is ingested in a short time, a person may experience edema. The fact is that sodium begins to penetrate the cell too quickly. As a result, one can observe the formation of a deficiency outside the cell, the development of an imbalance, ”explained Strict.
Quench thirst with drinks. If there is a feeling of thirst, dry mouth, then it is better to drink ordinary water – not tea, coffee or especially sweet drinks, juices. Tea and coffee only increase the removal of moisture from the body, sweet drinks provoke a sharp jump in blood sugar.
Drink with meals.The physician considers this a mistake, since hydrochloric acid is diluted in the stomach, which impairs the digestion process. According to Strict, it is preferable to drink water half an hour before meals or after meals.
Drinking cold water. The specialist says that cold liquid can negatively affect the function of the vagus nerve, as a result of which will worsen digestion.
Tap water. Its use is a dangerous mistake for health, the physician does not recommend drinking such water.
“Tap water contains fluorine, plastic nanoparticles, chlorine and other substances that adversely affect hormones, fertility, the brain,” the nutritionist warned.
