How to drink water healthily? Don’t make these mistakes!

Myth 1: Drink water every morning

People who are thin, fair-skinned and have a cold constitution should not 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 it should be consumed with breakfast even in summer. When replenishing water in the morning, avoid salt. Thick broth and salty wonton soup are not suitable for the morning, as they will only increase the body's hunger and thirst in the morning.

Myth 2: You can’t drink water before meals

Do I need to drink water before eating? Wouldn’t that dilute the gastric juice and affect digestion? Western cuisine has an appetizer step before the meal. The reason is to use soups and vegetables 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) of water. It can be room temperature juice, yogurt, warm rock sugar chrysanthemum water or light tea, or a small bowl of thick appetizer soup, all of which are good ways to nourish the stomach.
