What is rehydration?

During illness, after physical exertion or in a hot climate, the body loses a lot of moisture. And because of this, dehydration, that is, dehydration, is accelerated. A person quickly experiences fatigue, begins to feel sleepy, irritable, and his cognitive abilities slow down.

At this moment, it is important to carry out full rehydration, that is, to replenish the liquid lost by the body by drinking a sufficient amount of water.

NOTE: if a person has diarrhea or signs of poisoning, it is necessary to use oral or parenteral rehydration drugs based on purified drinking water.

Benefits of hot water for a cold

During a cold, water should constantly enter the human body, because drinking a lot helps in the fight against viruses, restoring the water and salt balance, as well as replenishing the spent energy.

A person needs to drink warm water or hot tea (not boiling water) with herbs, raspberries, currants, rose hips, lemon and ginger.

The temperature of the water used should not be higher than 40°C, otherwise the body will have to spend a lot of energy cooling the hot liquid and absorbing it. The optimal option is 37°С-39°С, that is, a value close to the temperature of the human body.

Here are more reasons for frequent use of warm water during illness:

1. Replenishment of lost moisture due to profuse sweating.
2. Removal of toxins, slags.
3. Stimulation of kidney function, thanks to which bacteria are removed from the body faster.
4. Moistening of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat, which is very dry during the illness.
5. Liquefaction of mucus in the nasopharynx and improvement of airway patency.
6. Reduction of runny nose, dry cough and sneezing.
7. Reduction of fatigue, chills, itching and sore throat.
8. Improvement of general well-being.

INTERESTING: in social networks, the question "Is it possible to drink hot water for the prevention of coronavirus?" is often encountered. There is no evidence regarding the benefits of hot water from Covid-19. Although the virus does not survive at high temperatures, this applies only to the treatment of surfaces and water supply systems. The coronavirus gets into the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes and mouth, and from there it quickly moves through the body, penetrating into its usual environment and starting to multiply there. Therefore, drinking warm or hot water will not protect a person from this insidious infection.

Will a glass of warm water help to warm up?

In cold weather, you want to take a hot bath, steam your feet to warm up. But there is a more simple way to fight the cold - drink a glass of warm or hot water.

One medical study showed that hot liquid has a warming effect because it reduces heat generation. In addition, heated water dilates blood vessels, improves blood circulation throughout the body, and the flow of blood to the extremities is much faster.

And freely moving blood better transfers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The warming effect of heated water promotes the stimulation of hormone secretion, the improvement of metabolism, the breakdown of toxins, and the activation of blood supply to the brain. Therefore, a glass of warm water or a glass of hot tea will warm a person, remove shivering from the cold and restore a person's physical and mental capacity.

Does warm water in the morning improve metabolism?

Experts agree that:

• cold water (from 15°С to 20°С), although it quenches thirst in hot weather, helps to cheer up and get a surge of strength, but strongly irritates the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract;
• liquid at room temperature (from 20°С to 27°С) - normalizes the digestive system and stimulates the gastrointestinal tract;
• warm water (from 35°C to 40°C) improves metabolism by approximately 20-30% within 40 minutes after taking the liquid.

Hot water on an empty stomach improves intestinal peristalsis, reduces the level of acidity of gastric juice and contributes to the quality digestion of food.

Thanks to improved metabolism, a person will be able to burn more calories, and this is a pleasant bonus for those who are trying to lose weight.

TIP: if you need to increase the metabolic rate even more, you can add a few drops of lemon juice to the liquid. Such a drink (if you drink it during the day and 30 minutes before a meal) perfectly quenches the feeling of hunger and allows you to eat a smaller amount of food.

In addition to improving metabolic processes, the liquid on an empty stomach has a positive effect in other ways:

• contributes to the cleansing of the entire body, because each cell quickly receives oxygen and useful substances;
• has a positive effect on the lymphatic and immune system. A person becomes less susceptible to infectious diseases;
• has a preventive effect on the kidneys and urinary organs. Daily drinking of hot water on an empty stomach has a diuretic effect, so the risk of swelling, stones and sand in the kidneys, gall bladder, and bladder is minimized;
• improves the appearance of skin and hair. Since drinking water in the morning activates the whole body, toxins are removed from it. As a result, inflammation of the skin is removed, it becomes more elastic and resilient, and the hair gains shine and volume.

The above-mentioned useful properties of warm and hot water are valid on the condition that the water is of high quality, without the presence of impurities and suspensions in it.
