Summer is hot and humid; even a little movement makes you sweat profusely. Drinking plenty of water is understandable. In winter, the weather is cold, and people don't exercise as often, so it seems unnecessary to drink as much water. However, the colder it is, the more water you should drink.
People stay indoors in the warmth and rarely go out, but this doesn't mean the body's water consumption decreases accordingly. In an interview with reporters from Life Times, Hong Zhaoguang, chief health education expert at the Ministry of Health, gave us an account: depending on the amount of work, height, and size of each person, a person needs to consume about 1600 ml of water per day to ensure normal metabolism. Respiration alone consumes 300 ml of water per day, sweating 700 ml, and defecation at least 100 ml. Zhang Hude, a professor at the Health Preservation Room of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told Life Times reporters that the winter climate is dry, with low air humidity, and more water should be supplemented. If you drink less water, the blood viscosity will be high, easily leading to thrombosis and other symptoms, causing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, drinking more water in winter can accelerate metabolism and resist the cold.
In addition, studies have shown that if the body loses 5% of its water and fails to replenish it in time, the skin will become dry. In the cold winter, people like to close doors and windows, resulting in hypoxia indoors. At this time, people will feel dizzy and have headaches. Patients with heart and lung diseases will also feel shortness of breath, leading to various diseases. Drinking more water is conducive to oxygen supply, smooth breathing, and maintaining a good physical condition. Therefore, it is recommended not to wait until you are thirsty to drink water in winter, especially those who consume a lot of energy. The diet should be light. If you eat greasy or salty food, you should drink two more cups. In addition, hot tea is the most suitable in winter, and drinking two cups of water after getting up and before going to bed.
