Ms. Yang, a citizen, recently discovered that her 12-year-old son was constipated. After taking her son to see a doctor, she followed the doctor's advice and let her son drink a glass of light salt water every morning. Subsequently, my son's constipation symptoms improved significantly. Aunt Yang said happily: "It's amazing. Drinking some salt water makes me feel much better." In this regard, nutrition experts said that drinking warm water in the morning is good for health, and it is appropriate for patients with constipation to supplement with light salt water in the morning.

Zeng Jing, director of the Nutrition Department of the Guangdong Provincial Armed Police Corps Hospital, said that most citizens have heard of drinking boiled water in the morning, but know little about the reason behind it. Drinking warm water after getting up has a direct positive impact on human health, because after a night of sleep, the body is very lacking in water and needs to be replenished; at the same time, various parts of the human body are detoxifying during sleep, and after drinking warm water in the morning, the detoxifying substances are excreted from the body with water as the carrier, which promotes the circulation of kidney function.

For citizens with constipation symptoms, warm boiled water should be replaced with light salt water. Zeng Jing introduced, "Salt has the function of clearing heat and disinfecting. Developing the habit of drinking light salt water every day has a direct effect on improving constipation." However, healthy people only need to drink warm boiled water in the morning and should not blindly supplement with salt water. "The purpose of drinking water is to promote gastrointestinal motility, but if you drink too much salt water, there will be too much sodium in the body, which is not good for your health." Drinking light salt water in the morning is also not suitable for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients, because the salt in the water has the risk of raising blood pressure.

In addition, Zeng Jing reminded the public that many people only remember that they need to drink water when they feel dry mouth, which is wrong. "By the time you feel dry mouth, your body is actually severely dehydrated." In fact, the human body's sense of thirst will gradually weaken with age, and the elderly have the worst sense of thirst. Therefore, it is important to learn to judge whether your body is dehydrated. Zeng Jing introduced, "The most intuitive feature is to observe the color of urine." If the urine is light yellow, the body function is normal, but if it is slightly yellow or even darker, it may indicate that you need to drink more water.
