Risks of drinking water incorrectly!!

Are you suffering from health problems like skin problem, acidity, muscle pain, digestion problem, fatigue or migraine??

According to studies, chances are one of the main cause is not drinking right amount of water properly. So far you have heard water is life. If it is not properly drunk, then it can become a major cause of death.So, let's find out when, how much and in which way you should drink water, so that it benefits you.Because it is a fact that 90% of us drink water in wrong way, and a proof to that is the diseases I mentioned at the beginning of the article getting so much common among us.

"Oh God, again I have forgotten to drink water today!" and immediately you picked up a 1 litre of water and drank it at once. Do you know, this is more harmful for you than benefiting.In medical terms it is called water intoxication or water poisoning.

Our body has a limited capacity to hold a particular amount of water at once. At once, if you drink too much of water, then it increases the water percentage in your blood. As a result, the density of different electrolytes; specially sodium starts to decrease and water starts to move from outside to inside of cells, causing them to swell. When this happens with our brain cells it causes headache, fatigue and many other health problems. This condition is also called hyponatremia.

Now the question is, how can you know whether you have right amount of water in your body or not? Your urine colour is an indicator of that. If it is dark yellow, then it indicates water deficiency in your body. If it is transparent just like fresh water, then it indicates water excess in your body. Neither deficiency nor excess of water is good for your body. If your urine colour is very light yellow then it indicates that you have right amount of water in your body. So, your urine colour is a very efficient indicator.

Other than that, when you drink water while walking or standing, opening your mouth in upward direction then along with water a lot of air enter into your stomach which may cause acidity in your stomach. So, what you should do?

First of all, do not drink more than 300ml of water at once. Second, sit somewhere and then drink water slowly by touching your mouth with the bottle or glass. When you drink water slowly, the enzymes in your mouth will get a chance to mix up with the water and reach your stomach, which is very good for your digestion. So, smart idea 1: Always drink slowly

Are you also one of them, who cannot eat their meals without drinking water? And, some of them can't eat their meals without drinking soft drinks along with it. That is more dangerous.

If you are one of them, then chances are most of the time you suffer from acidity and digestion problem. Because just as we eat something after cooking it, in the same way when the food reaches our stomach, gastric juice mix with it to get it digested.So it can be said, that after reaching our stomach the food is cooked for the second time by our gastric juice. Then only finally the food is digested.

Now suppose when you are cooking, if someone keep putting water in your saucepan then will the food be prepared properly? The same thing happens when you drink water while eating. Because of drinking water, the density of the gastric juice starts to decrease; which results in causing digestion problem. So, what should you do?

You should always drink water 30 min before or after having your meal. Yes, if you are eating very dry food, then you can drink a little amount of water. But, that is just to soak the throat. So, smart idea 2: Don't drink while eating

75% of our body is made of water. But due to sweat, urine and breathing, everyday we loose nearly about 2 to 2.5 lit of water from our body. So, to restore this amount of water, we need to drink 2 to 2.5 lit of water everyday. But in a day, when and how should we drink water?

First of all, just after getting up in the morning, even before brushing your teeth or having breakfast you should drink at least 300ml of water. But most of us go to brush our teeth right after getting up. Because of that, the enzymes cannot reach the stomach. 

Then 30min before and after having your breakfast you have to drink 300ml or 1glass of water 

each time, that is a total of 600ml or 2 glass of water. In the same way, before and after having your lunch and dinner you have to drink 300ml or 1glass of water.

By following this simple routine you can drink 2lit of water regularly. 

As there are right times to drink water, similarly there are some wrong times when you should never drink water.

These are, 1) While eating a meal

                  2) Just after coming out from toilet.

                  3) Before going to bed at night you should not drink water.

                  4) You should always avoid drinking water after intense workout sessions.

                  5) Always drink room temperature water
