So,now I'm going to share some common mistake that most of the people do while having a glass of water and how to fix it.After reading this article you will have a clear idea as to what,when & how to drink water.So,that it "WORKS FOR YOU & NOT AGAINST YOU".
Let's discuss the 5 common mistakes people do while drinking water
1.DRINKING WATER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE & AFTER MEALS.
Gulping a glass of water after meals might be the most satisfying thing for most of the people.However, is the worst thing that you can do to your body.When we eat a meal our body temperature rises for better digestion.But drinking water just after eating meals instantly dilutes the gastric juices reducing the body's ability to digest the food properly.This way the food doesn't get digested properly and rots within the system and when food rots within the intestine not only the body fails to absorb the nutrients from the food but also,it bring digestive problems like bloating,gas,acidity,etc.
This is the reason you see people saying that "I eat mostly healthy food but I'm still not able to get desire results.I'm not able to lose weight even though I'm drinking enough water.The reason is that you are drinking water just before or after meals.One small hack that I practice is that instead of drinking water I rinse my mouth with water.It really helps.
2.GULPING DOWN THE WATER
In today's fast pace life most people carelessly drink water.It might seem hard to believe but in reality the way water enters your body can make a huge difference.If you drink water too fast anyway your body won't accept it and would flush most of it out.Exactly the opposite of what you wanted to happen moreover our stomach is acidic in nature on the other hand saliva in our mouth is alkaline in nature and its job is to stabilize the acid in stomach.
When we drink a large amount of water at once very less saliva gets mixed with the water.So the atmosphere inside the stomach remains acidic.This may cause acidity indigestion,bloating,gas,etc.Even gain in weight because stomach fails to absorbs the nutrients from the food and remove the unwanted material.Ideally one should slowly sip the water.To start with you can avoid bottles with wide mouth or even better to use a glass or sipper.
3.DRINKING CHILLED WATER
Do you after coming back from office run to the refrigertor grabbing a bottle of chilled water to quench your thirst? If yes then,you better stop doing that drinking chilled water can not only cause a sore throat but also has serious demerits firstly cold water shrinks the blood vessels seriously restricting the digestion process.Cold water also tend to solidify the fats from the food making it tough for your body to break down the unwanted fats
Another major side effect of drinking cold water is joint pain not only this there are many studies proving today that chilled water decreases the heart rate.For avoiding this health problems one should drink water at room temperature.Lukewarm water is even better.Although if at all you want to drink cold water start using earthen pots not only they are natural water cooler.But also balance the pH of water removing the impurities.
4.DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER
I have come across so many people who forcefully drink water even when they are not thirsty just because somebody told them drinking more water means more benefits for the body.Offcourse,proper hydration is important but excess of anything is bad and this holds true also for water.Drinking excess water dilutes salt & electrolytes in our body and sodium helps to balance the fluid in and around yourselves.
Drinking too much water causes an imbalance and the liquid moves from blood to the cells making them swell and in case of brain cells that seriously a bad news.Some symptoms like yellowish urine (not transparent),parshed lips,very dry skin,lack of energy,etc.This are the signals which are given by the body when we are dehydrated.
5.DRINKING WATER WHILE STANDING
This reason is another side effect of our busy lifestyle.People drink water not only when they are standing but also while walking or even while running.When we drink water in standing position our kidneys are not able to filter water properly.Moreover in this position your muscles and nervous system are not relaxed and it makes difficult for your nerves too quickly digest the fluid.This may disrupt the balance of fluid in our body leading to greater accumulation of fluid in our joints thus trigerring arthritis.So my advice is to keep aside all the work and sit down and sip water slowly.
So this were some of the common mistakes that people do while drinking water.
Let us now see When to drink? How to drink water in a proper manner?Which utensil should be ideally used to drink water?
Whenever you feel thirsty drink water.However one time when water should never be skipped is immediatelty after waking up.We already discussed how saliva helps in neutralizing stomach acid and the morning saliva is considered to be the most effective.So every morning before brushing teeth drink water.Water should be consumed in between the meals and not immediately after the meal.Atleast keep a gap of 1 hour after meals and 30min before meals
How much water a person needs in a day depends upon many factors like individual bodytype,bodyweight,physical activity & climate.Our body gets water from various foods like fruits,vegetables.So it would be unfair to give one fixed quantity.My suggestion is that to understand that how your body responds and drink water accordingly.Generally speaking 2.5 to 3 litres per day is good enough.
So Which utensil should be used for drinking water?Water can be consumed from any utensil however if you drink water from a copper utensil or vessel the benefits gets multiplied.It is recommended to store water in a copper vessel overnight and drink it when you wake up and make sure have it from copper vessel itself.Drink ths copper charged water for just three to four months and you will be amazed to see what it does to you body.After 3 months u have to stop drinking water from copper vessel for 15-20 days to avoid excess of copper in our body.This water will help you in weight loss,digestion,boosting immunity.
WATER IS LIFE IF IT IS DRUNK IN RIGHT WAY.
