Don't let yourself wither A few years ago, doctors in one voice saying, man must pour in 2 to 4 liters of water per day. Otherwise dehydration and a whole bunch of diseases. Washington nutritionist Susan Kleiner, for example, still claims that the constant lack of fluid (equal to 1-2% of body weight) can cause genetic mutations in cells and cancer. But even mild dehydration activates the aging process: cells lose the normal level of moisture, the skin becomes dry, and then - sadly - flabby and wrinkled.
In the opinion of the doctor of the highest category, dermatologist Treatment-and-rehabilitation-tion center "Medical" Makinoi Ekaterina Valeryevna, skin health is affected by many factors, but the main focus is water. And the dryness is not the only problem. The lack of a liquid, for example, is the blockage of the sebaceous glands, and facial acne, hair becomes dry, brittle nails, disrupted metabolism. And this in turn leads to weight gain. And - attention! - cellulite appears: in the absence of moisture subcutaneous fatty tissue is compressed, changing the structure and the structure of the skin.
The most recent discovery: water is an effective tool for weight loss! It speeds up the metabolism and regulates the appetite, reducing hunger. I'm not hungry - don't eat... and not get fat. All ingenious is simple.
Killing people is not the beer
There is another, equally authoritative and scientific opinion: trust must not someone else's theories, and his own thirst. It will especially appeal to those for whom the proverbial two liters a day is not a need, and conscription. For example, according to the candidate of medical Sciences I. A., APPA, "at the right time about the lack of moisture will signal your own body. If you have no serious health problems, is to adopt a well-known slogan "Believe only his thirst! " Support this theory English scientists who believe that categorical recommendations take into account only the General patterns that occur in the body. And the body of each individual is unique. The physician Hamburg clinic Matthias müller and even argues that this growing fashion trend to drink more water brings people to the hospital, especially if they have kidney problems and heart.
The staff of the German Institute of nutrition creatively approached the dogma of "Two liters, or grams less! " and think that drinking more than 1, 5 liters is only for special loads. The dietitian of the Institute, candidate of med.Sciences Julia Chekhonin advised to drink at least 1, 5 liters of water, based on the fact that on the day we lose a total of from 2 to 2, 5 l of fluid through the kidneys, sweat and other organs. But otherwise she advises to follow the needs and sees no need to consider litres.
Grams and kilograms
However, the feeling of thirst, if you rely on it entirely, may take us. This feeling is quite slow indicator fluid requirement, which is also blunted with age (as, incidentally, and many other feelings). And most importantly, the emergence of this feeling is evidence of mild dehydration. And even if you drink water, some time will still feel the effects of dehydration: impaired attention, irritability, fatigue, headache.
There are other ways to determine whether enough body fluids. The first is by the color of urine. If it is dark, there is not enough water. The second is the condition of the skin. Pinch yourself by the hand on the outer side of the palm. If the skin is smoothed slowly (>2 seconds) - cells need moisture quickly (1-2 seconds) - liquid normal.
Finally, recently scientists bred the formula if not completely refutes the thesis of two liters, at least leaves room for manoeuvre. According to this formula, your weight should be multiplied by 31 and in response you will get the number of grams you need. For example, if you weigh 55 kg, per day (h = 1705) you only need to drink 1, 7 l
H2O and love
But keep in mind: not every liquid satisfies the body's need for water. Tea, coffee, alcohol, and all sprites-Cola is not able to replace him H2O: this pleasant drinks contain, besides water, other substances, and therefore are perceived them as food and processed. While tea and coffee are diuretics and can, conversely, to deprive the body of backup liquid. Only pure water (non-carbonated and carbonated) absorbed by the cells directly. And only she, incidentally, is the only substance that not only does not contain toxins, but also promotes their excretion. Chemical composition and mineralization of the water is divided into a dining room (the salt content of less than 1 g per liter), medicinal-table (1-10 g) and therapeutic (>10 g). First drink for thirst, the second for quenching and prevention, and the third only for treatment and advice of a doctor. But not all of the water in which name is the word "mineral" is mineral. Just read about it on the label.
And the last one. Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto scientifically proved that water is a very thin substance capable of reacting to our emotions. It becomes "evil" and "good", "useful" and "harmful" depending on the kind of emotions that we drink it. So drink it with love - so useful.
