People live in this world without two things, which are also the least valuable, one is air, and the other is water.
Drinking water is a simple matter.
Appropriately adding some water every day can maintain the normal metabolism of the body, and has a very good maintenance effect on the health of blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract and other organs and systems.
However, some people believe that drinking water before going to bed is a good way to replenish water in the body and avoid the lack of water in the body after a night’s sleep.
However, some people believe that drinking water can easily lead to swelling of the body, and the next day, both eyes will become “swollen eye blisters”.
Good guy, it’s a simple thing, but this time it’s not that simple.
Is drinking water before bed good or bad for your health?
Actually, it depends on two things:
One, according to physical fitness
Drinking water before going to bed is good or bad for the body depends on the patient’s constitution.
For those with rhinitis, tonsillitis, or stuffy nose, cough, fever due to a cold, if not Supplementing water can cause severe thirst, which affects sleep, and a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as coughing.
For people with some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they can also drink a small amount of water before going to bed at night.
If you don’t drink water all night, your body will be in a relatively dehydrated state, which will affect the blood flow rate. It is easy for patients to wake up in the morning with high blood pressure and blood lipids. This can cause a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness, headache, palpitations.
And for people with diabetes, drinking a small amount of water before going to bed can relieve dry mouth while sleeping. It also controls blood sugar levels.
But for people with some kidney diseases, it is really not suitable to drink water at night before going to bed, especially not a lot of water.
The kidney function of patients with kidney disease is already in a state of decline. Drinking water before going to sleep will increase the burden on the kidneys. The body is quickly excreted, and it is easy to cause body edema.
Second, according to water intake
Some people believe that drinking water before bed can dilute the gastric juices, affect the digestive function of the stomach, and have a particularly high probability of suffering from stomach problems.
But in fact, as long as your digestion is functioning properly, drinking water at any time will not dilute your gastric juices to the extent that it affects your digestion.
In normal people, in the state of fasting before meals,the content of gastric acid is less, and only after eating will a large amount of gastric acid be secreted, but gastric acid will not easily become very acidic, nor It will be easily diluted and controlled within a reasonable range .
Unless you drink 2 liters of water at a time, you may change your gastric juices.
…….but it is difficult for ordinary people to do this.
But don’t drink too much before going to bed. After all, the bladder is limited and drinking too much water will inevitably make you go to the toilet in the middle of the night and affect your sleep.
Why do some people have edema the next day?
First of all, it should be noted that edema has little to do with drinking water before going to bed.
The so-called edema means that the skin and subcutaneous tissue store too much fluid, but the water we drink will not be stored too much in the tissue, and most of it is absorbed by the small intestine,
strong>The human body’s circulatory system, respiratory system, and urinary system are jointly regulated, thereby maintaining the water balance in the body.
The reason for edema is that on the one hand, the intake of sodium is too much, and salty things are eaten before going to bed; on the other hand, the intake of protein is too little, and some people go on a crazy diet Friends will be prone to edema.
In addition, if you sleep in the same position, the blood flow will be hindered, and edema will be inevitable.
Therefore, in order to reduce edema, it is actually very simple, that is, eat less salty food, avoid blind dieting, and exercise regularly.
But having said that, drinking a small amount of water before going to bed is quite good, just remember to drink it slowly.
