Thirst in the summer needs to be quenched only with water. And that's why

Doctors sound the alarm: we stopped drinking ordinary water

This year summer came to Moscow in May, and just by the way to remind highlights on water and drink.

- One of the big problems faced by today's humanity is that the person stopped drinking water. Most often, we drink tea, coffee, juices and various types of sweet non-alcoholic drinks, which are now lined with all store shelves.

- Despite the fact that doctors constantly explain that water cannot be replaced by anything, people are firmly convinced that if they drank two liters of cola, then they drank two liters of water. itdangerous delusion.

- Any liquid that contains any substances other than water - sugar, salt, herbal extracts - these are always substances that draw water out of the cells. Thus, they exacerbate the lack of water, which the body needs as a vital substance.

- Let's remember our youth: in chemistry lessons, we conducted an experiment with a flask and a semi-permeable membrane. There was water on both sides. And then salt was poured into one part of this flask. We saw how liquid from the fresh part flowed into the part where there was salt water. This is the law of osmosis.

- If you drink a liquid containing any components, then they draw water out of cells, reduce hydration - the saturation of cells with water. And they reduce the amount of fluid in the vessels. At the same time, metabolic processes deteriorate.

- At normal ambient temperature +18... +20 degrees per day on average loses about 300 ml of fluid with breathing. In the summer, these losses increase significantly. Also, a lot of fluid is lost through the skin.

- Less water means less blood in the body. If these losses are not replenished with water, then the person is in a state of hypovolemia - a decrease in the volume of circulating blood. And this sharply worsens metabolic processes, that is, metabolic processes in the body between cells, tissues, vessels. And this significantly increases risks of cardiovascular disasterssuch as strokes, heart attacks and so on.
