Many middle-aged and old people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high blood viscosity are often advised that drinking water in the middle of the night can effectively prevent cardiovascular diseases and stroke. However, experts remind that there is a need to pay attention to how to drink water in the evening, and the wrong way will bring adverse effects to the body.
Experts explain that in the morning, our Yang Qi starts to grow, reaches its peak at noon, and is collected in our bodies at night. It’s usually late at night or even early in the morning when you get up at night. If you drink cold water at this time, it will affect the growth of Yang Qi the next day. Therefore, never drink cold water when drinking water at night.
Experts say that TCM believes that the Yang Qi of the human body changes with different times of the day. From the perspective of Western medicine, people’s body temperature is also different at different times of the day. The body temperature at night is generally low. Drinking cold water after getting up at night is not conducive to blood circulation, especially for people with heart disease and gastrointestinal diseases. Otherwise, it is easy to induce diseases.
He suggested that if you are thirsty after getting up at night, you can drink some warm water, generally half a cup or one cup, which helps promote blood circulation and prevent cardiovascular diseases, and is not easy to stimulate the intestines and stomach and cardiovascular system. In addition, oral bacteria will also slowly reproduce at night. Research has found that the optimal temperature for tooth metabolism is 35 ℃, so you should rinse your mouth with warm boiled water before drinking water.
