Drinking boiled water in the morning can timely supplement the water lost at night and alleviate the physiological water shortage.

how should I drink the first glass of water in the morning?
Do you really drink the right water when you insist on drinking boiled water every morning? How much to drink the first glass of water in the morning and how to drink it? Pay attention to the correct way of drinking water:
1. Water volume: 200-300ml is appropriate. Drinking too much or too little of the first glass of water is not good. Drinking too much will cause digestive burden, and drinking too little will not have the effect of replenishing water. For people with hypertension and renal dysfunction, drinking water in the morning should be appropriate. Excessive drinking water in hypertensive patients will increase blood volume and make blood pressure higher; And patients with kidney disease who drink too much boiled water will also increase the pressure of glomeruli.
2. Water temperature: 25 ℃. Water cooled to 25 ℃ after boiling has the best affinity with cells and can better promote cell metabolism. Too cold or too hot water will stimulate the intestines and stomach. You can hang a proper amount of water in a cup with a lid the night before, and then mix boiled water to reach the appropriate temperature the next day.
3. How to drink: take a sip on an empty stomach. The first glass of water in the morning must be drunk on an empty stomach to flush the intestines and stomach and promote blood circulation; It should not be too strong and too urgent when drinking, so as to avoid headache and nausea. It is best to drink it in small bites at one time.
