"Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach every morning" has become a popular health saying. Many people believe that this glass of water can clear the stomach, detoxify and beautify the face, dilute the blood, and even reduce the occurrence of diseases. Guo Zhihong, the chief physician of the Chinese Medicine Department of Rocket Army General Hospital, reminded that from the perspective of Chinese medicine theory, many people with spleen and stomach deficiency, spleen deficiency and dampness, lack of digestive function and insufficient lung and kidney function will hurt their bodies if they drink a glass of water often in the morning. In fact, drinking water must also vary from person to person. Some people can't metabolize normally. Drinking water indiscriminately will not only have no effect on health, but will damage the human body. Seemingly simple drinking water contains health principles and university questions.

1 Drink water in the morning, and the yang will not rise

Every morning, when the sun rises in the east, the yang of the human body will start to rise, but "drinking a glass of water in the morning" will hinder the yang from rising for some people. Drinking water in the morning will not hinder the strong people, but will cause physical decline and even disease for some people. Especially those who are weak and sick, people with blocked meridians, and people with less yang are very unfavorable. Many people are forced by their families to "get a glass of water in the morning", and some even have two or three cups. Water is negative, which will not help the hair growth of yang, but will hinder it. Those who have obstacles in water and moisture transport will further aggravate their physical injuries, and the accumulation of water and moisture will have no chance to be improved, which will make their bodies decline and age faster.

many people say that they don't know whether their yang is weak or not. In fact, we can judge whether it is smooth and bright or dull by observing the complexion. If the complexion is smooth and bright, it means that the yang in the body is sufficient. If the complexion is dull, it means that there is less yang in the body and more yin. Such people should encourage yang to grow hair after getting up, and it is not suitable for drinking water. If drinking water, it will hinder yang to grow hair. Clinically, many female patients have problems after getting up in the morning to drink water, some will have obvious dizziness, and some will have facial edema and turbidity, all of which are caused by wet water. Especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency, it is easy to have traces on the face, because Yangming stomach meridian is distributed on the face. These people's metabolism of water and dampness is not perfect, especially in the morning, the yang is insufficient, and the water they drink can't be transported at all, causing water and dampness to diffuse, and dizziness and headache appear. In this case, you must go to a regular medical institution and see a doctor of Chinese medicine. After a period of Chinese medicine conditioning, your body will gradually return to normal.

2 drinking water indiscriminately hurts the spleen, lungs and kidneys

The medical book Four Sages Heart Source in the Qing Dynasty says: "Shui Gu enters the stomach, the spleen yang grinds, and the dregs pass down, but he drowns for feces, and the essence is served, and he becomes qi and blood." If the spleen yang is insufficient (spleen yang refers to the function of the spleen and stomach), the digestion and absorption of water can not be completed, let alone become angry. Especially when water is not needed, it will also hurt the spleen yang. Therefore, if the spleen and stomach function is poor, people with poor appetite, nausea or vomiting, frequent hiccups, abdominal distension and diarrhea, epigastric discomfort and other symptoms will also be unable to metabolize water normally, especially drinking water in the morning before the spleen yang develops, which is even more inappropriate, not only not good for the body, but also will be hurt by water, further affecting the spleen and stomach function.

Secondly, the lung also plays an important role in regulating water. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, besides the function of the lung on breathing, there is also an important function, namely "attending festival", which includes "regulating water channels". Waterway refers to the way of water and liquid running, that is, the lung has the function of regulating water metabolism, which is mainly carried out through the spreading and descending of the lung, that is, lung qi can make body fluid transport and distribute to all parts of the body, and can also promote water to be transported to the bladder to keep urine flowing smoothly. If the lung function is impaired, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and palpitation, cough with excessive phlegm, nasal congestion and runny nose, the metabolism of water will be poor, and drinking water indiscriminately will aggravate the above symptoms.

Furthermore, Chinese medicine believes that the kidney controls water and the bladder controls the gasification of water. Kidney plays a very important role in regulating and maintaining body fluids. If there is something wrong with kidney function, you should pay attention to drinking water, otherwise there will be edema and unfavorable urination. The human body is an organic whole, and all the five zang-fu organs are involved in the metabolism of water. Any one of the zang-fu organs has a problem, which will affect the metabolism of water. Therefore, when the body doesn't need water, it should keep the body in a state of peace of qi and blood, and don't disturb it easily.

water is very important for the operation of qi and blood, and drinking it in proper amount and in time will improve health. So, is it right or wrong to drink water on an empty stomach in the morning? The answer is right. The advantages of drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning are as follows:

1. It can rinse the residue on the stomach wall, so that you can smoothly discharge the waste left in your body;

2. Water will reach every corner of the body in about tens of seconds, which can promote the metabolism of cells, make the body wake up from sleep, and have the effect of refreshing the brain;

3. People sweat during sleep. Drinking water in the morning can replenish the water lost during sleep, make the cells full of water, and make the skin look full and elastic.

4. It can dilute the gradually thickened blood, reduce the blood concentration and avoid the blood pressure soaring.

It is good to drink water on an empty stomach in the morning, but how to drink it is very particular

1. It is recommended to drink boiled water. Protein, carbohydrate, fat and so on do not exist in boiled water, which is the least burdensome water. Drinking a cup of boiled water in the morning not only supplements the moisture of cells, but also reduces the viscosity of blood, which is beneficial to the discharge of urine.

2. The temperature of water varies from person to person. For young people and people with good health, it is also easy to drink cold boiled water, but for those who are old, weak, afraid of cold and have a cold stomach, a cup of warm boiled water in the morning is a good choice.

3, it is not recommended to drink more, one (15 ~ 2ml) is enough to achieve health care effect, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and hinder the digestion of food. It should be reminded that patients with hypertension should pay special attention to the amount of drinking water, because the patient's own blood volume is high. At this time, if drinking too much water, it will increase the blood volume and make the blood pressure higher.

4. Drinking water in the morning must be on an empty stomach, and it is best to drink it in small sips. Drinking water too fast is very harmful to the body, which may cause blood pressure reduction and brain edema, leading to headache, nausea and vomiting.
