We all know that drinking water is good for health, but few people can drink enough water every day, and some even don't know how much water the human body should drink every day. Lack of water in the human body is not just as simple as dry mouth, but can also easily cause diseases in the body. Let’s take a look at what diseases a lack of water can bring to the body.
1. It is easy to cause an increase in blood viscosity.
The main component of blood is water, which accounts for more than 90% of blood. When the body lacks water, blood viscosity will increase, circulation will slow down, and dizziness, depression, slow thinking, drowsiness, etc. will easily occur. Phenomenon.
2, prone to allergies
According to relevant records, drinking a lot of water can help improve allergic symptoms. It is believed that long-term lack of water in the body is one of the causes of allergic symptoms.
3. Constipation is prone to occur.
Water is also a lubricant for the body. If there is a lack of water, the peristalsis ability of the intestines will decrease, making constipation more likely to occur. In addition, because water is the lubricant of the human body, when there is a lack of water, synovial fluid is easily lacking between joint cartilage tissues, and the bones are easily worn and arthritis occurs.
4. Mental work is more likely to cause cerebrovascular problems.
Because water is the main component of blood, and the brain requires a large amount of blood circulation during work. Data records that about 20% of blood is distributed in the brain. In addition, data show that 85% of brain cells are water. When the brain starts to work, it needs a lot of blood and water. If there is a lack of water, the blood viscosity will increase, making it more likely to cause cerebrovascular problems, such as high blood pressure .
5. Gout and stones are more likely to occur.
The cause of gout is that too much uric acid cannot be metabolized out of the body and accumulates in the joints, causing discomfort. Urine is the main way to metabolize uric acid. If the body is dehydrated for a long time, uric acid will easily accumulate and aggravate gout. At the same time, drinking less water is still a possible factor in causing stones.
In addition, the elderly are more likely to suffer from water shortage. Because the elderly's central nervous system is not sensitive to "thirst", they do not often feel thirsty, and accordingly they do not drink more water, making their bodies prone to dehydration.
Chapped lips Is it lack of water or illness?
Skin peeling is also called desquamation. When the lips become flaky, they are already in the inflammatory stage. If it is more serious, with cracks and bleeding, it means that it is already in a relatively severe inflammation, which is cheilitis .
How to drink water in winter?
Because they sweat less in winter, many people are not easily thirsty, so they choose to drink less water. However, the human body evaporates water through the skin all the time, and loses approximately 600ml of water a day. In addition, the human body excretes a total of about 2500ml of water every day through breathing, urine and other channels.
In winter, due to dry air, the human body loses no less water than in other seasons. Studies have shown that if the human body lacks 5% of water in winter and does not replenish it in time, dry skin and muscle weakness will easily occur, and the human body will also feel cold, irritable and weak.
Therefore, you also need to replenish water in winter. In addition to getting water from the diet, the human body also needs to drink at least 1200ml of water every day by drinking boiled water, beverages or soups. In dry climates, air conditioners, and electric blankets, you should also drink more water.
