"Dad! Why are you drinking water on an empty stomach again? Didn't you tell you two days ago? Didn't you listen if you get up in the morning and drink water on an empty stomach?"
Lao Lin is always used to drinking two glasses of water after getting up. After getting up that morning, his daughter hurried to the kitchen to find water to drink. It happened that her daughter saw him, so she stopped him quickly.
Some time ago, Lao Lin's daughter read several articles about drinking water online, most of which talk about the problem of drinking on an empty stomach in the morning being unfavorable to her health. My daughter felt it was reasonable and well-founded, so she quickly gave her parents some popular science after returning home. However, the old father's habit of drinking water in the morning has been hard to change it if he says.
In fact, it is necessary for our human body to replenish a certain amount of water in time, but in recent years, people's requirements for a healthy life have become higher and higher, and people's understanding of health has become increasingly deeper and deeper. Among them, the most controversial issue on the Internet is drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning. Some people say that drinking a glass of water first when getting up in the morning is beneficial to emptying the intestinal stool, while others believe that drinking water after getting up in the morning is harmful to the body. It is even more harmful than not eating breakfast. Is drinking water on an empty stomach harmful or beneficial when I wake up in the morning? Dr. Wu will talk to you about this issue.
1. Why is it said that drinking water on an empty stomach is more harmful than not eating breakfast? Is there any scientific basis?
The saying that drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning is more harmful than not eating breakfast mainly comes from people's understanding of oral health. Everyone knows that when we eat, some food will inevitably be left behind in the gaps of our teeth.
Especially after dinner, even if some people are used to rinsing their mouths before going to bed, it is difficult to thoroughly clean their mouths. Some foods left in the gaps between the teeth may breed a large amount of bacteria after a night of fermentation. If you drink water first after getting up in the morning, it is equivalent to drinking a lot of bacteria. Therefore, the correct way to do it is to rinse your mouth first and then drink water.
This view seems very reasonable, but in fact, after careful reasoning, this is not the case.
First of all, our mouth itself is a bacterial environment, where the open cavity of the human body will have a certain number of bacterial groups, just like there will be a large number of bacterial groups in the human intestines and women's vagina. These bacteria are dominated by the body's immune system and are always maintained in a stable situation without causing harm to the body.
Secondly, even if you drink some bacteria into the stomach on an empty stomach in the morning, it will not cause harm to the body, because the mucosa of the human stomach wall will secrete a large amount of hydrochloric acid and pepsin . These hydrochloric acid and pepsin can kill 99% of the bacteria in the stomach. Even if a fish that escapes the net enters the intestine, it is still neutralized by the intestinal bacteria.
So, the statement that drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning is not valid.
2. It is not harmful to drink water on an empty stomach in the morning, but these three types of water are not necessarily!
1. Hot water over 65 degrees Celsius
Why should I put hot water over 65 degrees Celsius first? The reason is that many people know that drinking more boiled water is good for the body, so they will take boiled water first after getting up in the morning, and drink it while blowing. In fact, too hot water is not healthy. The international cancer prevention agency has listed any hot drinks above 65 degrees Celsius as a grade 2A carcinogen, and hot water is included.
The reason is that too hot water can induce oral and esophageal cancer. Hot water exceeding 65 degrees Celsius can easily burn the oral and esophageal mucosa. Human cells themselves have a certain ability to repair themselves, but it is easy for the mutated cell tissues in that place to occur frequently in a certain part for a long time.
2. Ice Water
Some people are used to drinking ice water in summer and habitually drink ice water after getting up in the morning. In fact, this method is wrong. If some people have poor stomach or chronic enteritis, drinking ice water on an empty stomach in the morning can easily cause discomfort reactions.
Also, drinking ice water on an empty stomach in the morning can easily destroy the bacterial population in the intestines, leading to dysregulation of the bacterial population and causing irritable bowel syndrome reaction.
3. Tasteful water
Some people like to drink flavorful water, such as light salt water, cola drinks, and tea. In fact, these are not conducive to health.
Some people believe that drinking light salt water in the morning can replenish the electrolytes in the body and is also beneficial to oral disinfection. In fact, doing so is not only not beneficial but also harmful, especially for patients with hypertension and . Light salt water will turn into a hyperosmotic reaction in the body and cause a dehydration reaction. The blood pressure of patients with hypertension will increase rapidly.
Also, Cola is a high-sugar beverage, which also contains a large amount of citric acid , and will accelerate the excretion of calcium in the body, resulting in calcium ion imbalance.
Finally, the tea contains caffeine , which will accelerate the heart rate and cause panic. Therefore, drinking tea on an empty stomach is not good for the body.
3. How should I drink the first cup in the morning to be correct?
①.Drinking warm water
I have already talked about the kind that must not drink too hot when drinking water. From a scientific point of view, you should drink warm water in the first cup of water in the morning. How to control this temperature? I can't take a thermometer every time I drink water, right?
In fact, our body temperature should be between 36-37.2 under normal circumstances, so the water we usually drink is more suitable within this range, not exceeding 40 degrees. It is best to gently test with your lips before drinking water to feel whether the water temperature is close to the human body.
②.Do not drink too much water
The more water you drink on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning, the better. Too much will exceed the tolerance of the human body. Too little will not work. The best thing is about 200-500 ml. #Good doctor escorts health#
