  1. Choose healthy water source: preferentially choose natural mineral water or purified drinking water. The minerals and trace elements in these water sources have health benefits while reducing the presence of potentially harmful substances.

  2. Control water temperature: It is recommended to drink warm water, about 25 ° C. Water at this temperature has higher biological activity and can better moisturize cells after entering the body. Too cold or too hot water can irritate blood vessels and be unhealthy.

  3. Avoid direct drinking of raw water: raw water may contain harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses, and direct drinking may lead to health problems such as gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, make sure the water is safe before drinking.

  4. Do not replace water with drinks: Although drinks contain a certain amount of water, they also contain sugar, additives and other ingredients, long-term drinking may cause a burden on the body. Plain water is the healthiest drink choice.

Second, the best time to drink water

  2. Half an hour before meals: Drinking water half an hour before meals helps to increase gastric secretion, improve appetite and digestion. At the same time, it can also avoid the feeling of thirst caused by too dry food.

  3. Between meals: Drinking proper water between meals helps to maintain the body's water balance and avoid dehydration caused by activities such as work and study.

  4. Before and after exercise: Proper drinking water before and after exercise can replenish the water lost due to sweating and maintain the normal function of the body. At the same time, it also helps reduce fatigue after exercise.

  5. One hour before going to bed: you can avoid dehydration caused by sweating or breathing during sleep. However, pay attention to avoid excessive drinking water, so as not to affect the quality of sleep.

Third, the amount of water
