Can't you drink water before meals?

　　“Almost everyone knows the argument of "eight glasses of water a day", but how to drink the "right" eight glasses of water is very knowledgeable. If you maintain wrong drinking habits, not only will it not replenish water for the body, but it will increase the burden on the internal organs. The following are 7 common misunderstandings about hydration. Drinking water must be done “at the right time” in order to become a 100% hydrated beauty.

　　Misunderstanding 1: You need to replenish water every morning

　　People who are thin, have fair skin, and have a cold constitution are not suitable to drink milk, juice or cold water that is below body temperature in the morning. They can drink warm soup or porridge instead. Freshly squeezed juice is not suitable for an empty stomach in the morning and should be consumed with breakfast even in summer. Avoid salt when replenishing water in the morning. Thick broth and salty wonton soup are not suitable for morning. This will only aggravate the body's hunger and thirst in the morning.

　　Misunderstanding 2: Don’t drink water before meals

　　Do I need to rehydrate before eating? Wouldn’t that dilute gastric juices and affect digestion? Western food has a pre-meal appetizer step. The principle is to use soup to stimulate appetite, lubricate the esophagus, and prepare for the meal. Then, replenishing water before meals has the same meaning. Before eating solid food, drink half a cup (about 100 ml), which can be room temperature juice, yogurt, warm rock sugar chrysanthemum water or light tea, or a small bowl of thick appetizer soup, which are all good ways to nourish the stomach.

　　Misunderstanding 3: Make sure to drink 8 glasses of water every day

　　The food we usually eat, such as vegetables, fruits, drinks, etc., all contain water. If you eat fruits and drink soup today, and then drink a full 8 glasses of water, you may have consumed too much water. The water content of rice reaches 60%, while porridge is richer in water. The water content of fruits and vegetables generally exceeds 70%. Even if you only eat 500 grams of fruits and vegetables a day, you can still get 300 to 400 ml of water. In addition, the daily diet emphasizes the combination of dry and thin food, so it is not difficult to obtain 1500~2000 ml of water from three meals. It is better to make full use of the opportunity of eating three meals to replenish water. Choose more fruits and vegetables and not salty soup and porridge, which has a good replenishing effect.

　　Myth 4: The water you drink must be absorbed by your body

　　While replenishing water, the body must also use water to achieve water balance. The so-called water-digesting foods refer to foods that can increase the body’s water excretion, such as watermelon, coffee , tea, etc. contain diuretic ingredients, which can promote the formation of urine in the kidneys.
