Is drinking more water good for the heart? Reminder: These 4 ways of drinking water will damage the heart and need to be changed in time!

If your body is a moving car, the heart is the engine, and the blood takes the place of the gasoline.

　　Only when the heart beats normally can blood circulate throughout the body, and all parts of the body can receive sufficient blood oxygen supply and maintain normal operation. And once there is a problem with the heart, the impact will be systemic.

　　In recent years, with the changes in people's life, eating habits, environment and other aspects, the incidence of heart disease and cardiovascular disease in China is also increasing day by day. Many people's cognition of heart disease is stuck in the genetic aspect.

　　But in fact, from a clinical point of view, unhealthy living and eating habits are also the source of destroying heart health, such as long-term sedentary, smoking and drinking, excessively greasy diet, etc., will increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

　　In addition, unhealthy drinking methods may also cause heart damage. For example, the following drinking methods are not advisable:

****## 　　1. Excessive intake of water

　　Many people are misled by drinking more water mentioned in health science, thinking that consuming a lot of water at one time has certain health benefits.

　　But in fact, science recommends eight glasses of water and drinking more water , which refers to an even and balanced intake of about 1500-2000ml of water throughout the day , not for everyone to drink a lot of water at one time.

　　If you do this , it will make the blood thin, increase the blood volume, and increase the burden on the heart pumping . Moreover, a large amount of fresh water intake can also lead to water and electrolyte imbalance, and even cause cell edema, dilutional hyponatremia and other problems;

　　2. Drink water quickly

　　With the arrival of spring, the temperature all over the country has a significant upward trend. Warmer weather means that the body loses water at a faster rate, so it is easy to feel thirsty. Many people go home from the outdoors and the first thing they do is gulp water.

　　As everyone knows, this is also a very dangerous behavior. You must know that there is a lot of water in the blood. After the water enters the digestive tract, it will be quickly absorbed into the blood, and the blood will be diluted and the blood volume will increase .

　　In this case, the heart pumping burden will not only increase, but also lead to an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption. For people with a history of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction , it may lead to heart failure and acute cardiovascular disease in a short period of time ;

3. Drink cold water

　　For patients who have already developed heart disease, cold drinks can quench their thirst, but they are not a good choice. Because blood vessels are actually very sensitive to changes in temperature, even cold drinks entering the body will stimulate blood vessels.

　　Causes short-term vasospasm and contraction , which not only increases blood pressure , but also increases heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption . If the patient has coronary heart disease, it may lead to a sudden angina pectoris in a short period of time;

　　4. Drink salt water

　　Light salt water does have a bactericidal effect, but this does not mean that everyone can drink it directly, especially for patients with high blood pressure, drinking light salt water is a very dangerous behavior.

　　Because the main component of salt is sodium chloride , consuming a large amount of sodium will not only make people feel thirsty and drink a lot of water , but also sodium ions will lock the water in the blood, which will lead to increased blood volume, Water and sodium retention add unnecessary burden to the heart, and even become a breakthrough for cardiovascular disease.

　　All in all, there is nothing wrong with drinking more water, because drinking water can not only prevent the increase of blood viscosity, but also accelerate the body's metabolism.

　　However, this does not mean that everyone can drink water at will. In fact, science recommends that you add 1500-2000ml of water every day, and you need to quote it multiple times. Drinking 200ml each time can meet the needs of the body, and add boiled water in small amounts and many times. is the real right choice.****
