Drinking water is very common for us, but sometimes, drinking too much water is not a good thing. Have you heard of water poisoning? Does drinking too much water really cause poisoning? How can we drink water healthily?
1. "Water intoxication" refers to excessive drinking for a long time or the excess water must be drained out by urine and sweat in a short time. However, as the water is drained out, the electrolyte dominated by sodium in the human body will be diluted, the salt in the blood will be less and less, the water absorption capacity will be reduced, and some water will be absorbed into the tissue cells quickly, causing cell edema.
2. At the beginning, symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, tachycardia and so on will appear, and even spasms, consciousness disorders and coma will appear in serious cases. So it's dangerous for some girls to drink too much water to lose weight.
3. Excessive drinking will lead to excessive loss of salt in human body, and some water will be absorbed into tissue cells, causing cell edema. At the beginning, symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, etc. will appear. In serious cases, spasms, consciousness disorders and coma will even appear, that is, water poisoning. Therefore, it is very dangerous for some girls to drink a lot of water to lose weight.
Can water poisoning recover by itself? Generally speaking, you can do well by yourself, as long as you stop drinking water.
1. Strictly control the amount of water inflow, and patients with mild illness can recover automatically after the water supply is suspended.
2. It can promote the drainage of water in the body and reduce the edema of brain cells. For patients with acute severe water intoxication, it is necessary to infuse mannitol, sorbitol and other osmotic diuretics, or furosemide and other strong diuretics, or give 3% - 5% sodium chloride solution to quickly relieve the low osmotic state of body fluids, but it is necessary to pay close attention to the heart function, because too much Na + can increase the capacity of extracellular fluid and increase the heart load.
3. Water poisoning can be recovered by itself. But it depends on the degree of poisoning. Generally, it includes light, medium and heavy, and the more serious the degree is, the longer the symptom elimination time is.
How to drink water correctly 1. When thirsty, many people are used to "Gulu Gulu" binge drinking. However, this drinking method is not good for health. Small amount, many times and slow drinking are the three basic principles of drinking water correctly.
2. A reasonable way to drink water should be to put a mouthful of water in your mouth and swallow it slowly for several times, so as to fully moisten your mouth and throat and effectively relieve thirst.
3. The nitrogen-containing organic matter in the long-standing boiled water will be continuously decomposed into nitrite. At the same time, the intervention of microorganisms will inevitably accelerate the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic matter. The harm of nitrite to the body is well known. It has a strong ability to combine with hemoglobin in the body, which will hinder the normal oxygen transport function of the blood. Therefore, it's better to drink all the boiled water on the same day.
4. After midnight, you can drink a mouthful of water to replenish the water consumed by long sleep. So far, about 2000 cc of water has been taken in a day, which can fully meet the needs of human body.
