What is the most useful thing to wash down your thirst, and what drinks you need to forget about
Today I looked at the weather report - in Moscow they promise up to plus 35. Just like in Tashkent. And we will live as in Tashkent for a few more days.
The most important thing today is do not overheat, smear the skin with sunscreen products and drink plenty of water.
Hot weather contributes to the development of a dangerous condition hypovolemia - a decrease in blood volume. This is due to overheating and subsequent dehydration. IN the conditions of the coronavirus, when the risk of thrombosis is increased, we don't need too thick blood at all. Therefore, watch yourself, put a bottle of water next to you on the table and watch how much you drink. The daily dose should now be increased by at least a third.
Should I drink cold water?
Cold water leads to hypothermia of the mucous membranes, and this in turn, for example, to tonsillitis. That is, here you need to act very carefully.
The completely ice-cold water causes the stomach to block the production of enzymes and gastric juice, which in turn leads to impaired protein digestion. That is, drinking a kebab with ice beer is, of course, pleasant, but it will hurt the stomach.
Personally, I don't drink cold water, no matter how pleasant it is in the heat.
Can I drink tea or coffee instead of water?
You can, but not instead of water, but in addition to it.
Green tea - a good antioxidant (promotes the binding of free radicals - aging factors) and an agent that restores hydration.
Coffee in reasonable quantities (up to 2 small cups a day) it is generally included in all manuals on longevity, but it makes you thirsty. We must take this into account.
Should I drink lemon water?
This is very useful, but again, it’s important not to break your forehead. Our internal environment, figuratively speaking, acidifies in the course of daily activities. And sour lemon works like an alkali inside the body. It helps restore balance.
But all you need is nothing - maybe half a lemon a day maximum.
And what, cola and other bells are absolutely impossible?
I don't drink it at all. As my regular readers already know, sugary drinks named the leading cause of obesity in America. They are delicious and addictive very quickly due to the available sugars. In the heat, you can get addicted to them very quickly.
Therefore, it is better not to start.
In general, drink water, as my new hero, football player Ronaldo, bequeathed.
Your Doctor Pavlova
Every morning the doctor drinks one glass of warm water on an empty stomach. And that's why
