Water is the most important thing we need as humans and we can
never go wrong slopping down the H2O. Obviously we need to stay hydrated according
to experts in order to aid good metabolism and prevent heat stroke - a very
deadly condition that occur when our body overheats. Although we can’t totally avoid hydrating our
self because water is the element that brings life. But are there really times
when this life given element becomes our doom? Let’s find out.
According to many experts, these are some few times you should
totally avoid hydrating yourself.
Don't drink when you’ve already had enough
When you’ve already chugged a bunch of water, taking more might
put your health in a mess. Too much hydration keeps you at the risk of diluting
your electrolytes. Normally your body need to maintain an optimum balance of
salt but too much of drinking water interfere with this balance. You can become
too low in sodium, a condition known as hyponatremia which is quite
deadly.
When your pee is clear
The only obvious indicator that shows you’ve downed enough water
is when your pee is clear. A clear lemonade shade indicates that you’ve
attained an optimum level of hydration. But when see a very clear wee, it is
telling you to cut back your water intake some bit.
Don’t drink before bedtime
It is true that we should always drink water immediately after we
woke up in the morning, because it’s very good for our health. But drinking
water before going to bed is completely the opposite. Drinking water right
before sinking into bed is something we should totally avoid. Not only will
your sleep be interrupted because you have to go always but also you may wake
up with a swollen face and limbs as well. Our kidney at night doesn't work as
better as it does during the day and this may actually contribute to the
symptoms you may experience when you wake up.
After a marathon exercise
It is an irresistible feeling to have the urge to drink water
after a strenuous exercise. But do you actually know it’s a dangerous something
to do? When we exercise, our body temperature increases and drinking some water
most especially when iced-cold can actually cause a shock to the system,
causing chronic pain in the stomach.
After consuming large chunk of meal
After
consuming a big bowl, having some water right away is a bad idea. Your belly seem to be very occupied with little or no spaces left. Bingeing on H2O this time may actually cause lots of discomforts and bloating.
