One last thing before bedtime

It's not about undressing and going to bed







The first glass of water in the morning is very important to wake up your body and tell you that a new day is about to begin. When the human body sleeps at night, it consumes a lot of water from urine, skin, and breathing, and the human body will be in a state of physiological dehydration after waking up in the morning. The body loses about 450 ml of water in one night, and drinking water in the morning can replenish the water lost by the body's metabolism.

Everyone knows to drink this glass of water in the morning, but in the summer, compared to the first glass of water after waking up, there is another glass of water that is more important, that is, this glass before going to bed at night!

People sweat when they are asleep, which leads to an increase in blood viscosity. Drink a glass of water before going to bed to dilute blood viscosity and reduce the risk of sudden myocardial infarction, angina, cerebral thrombosis, etc. Instead of waiting until there is a shortage of water to make up for it, it is better to be insufficient in advance so that the shortage of water does not occur.

Therefore, people with poor heart function, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia, simpler, people over 40 years old, should pay attention to the fact that the last thing before going to bed is not to take off clothes and go to bed, but to drink a glass of warm water!

In addition, in addition to drinking water, there are several things that can help us prevent myocardial infarction and stroke, let's listen to what Fu Dazhi, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine of Hangzhou First People's Hospital, and other professional doctors say~
