In the structure of the skin, water accounts for 70%, of which about 20-30% water is concentrated in the epidermis layer (the outermost layer of the skin). The epidermis is made up of water and lipids (fats), also known as the hydrolipid film. This membrane is involved in regulating the process of perspiration and sebum, helping to keep the skin moisturized by hydrating the skin, making the skin always smooth and resisting the penetration of environmental agents (dust dirty, bacteria, fungus …). Water prevents skin from drying out, prevents wrinkles, reduces acne, keeps beautiful lips, gets in shape, prevents disease …
Under normal conditions, on average, a person needs 2 to 2.5 liters of water a day. In addition, the actual amount of water a person needs to drink in a day depends on factors: intensity of movement, working environment, climate. When drinking water, attention: Never swallow water too quickly, so take small sips to absorb water gradually, flowing into each cell of the body. Should split the drink. You should drink water even when you’re not thirsty, and when you’re thirsty, drink only slowly. Drinking water too quickly while thirsty can have negative effects on the heart.
The timing of drinking water is also very important. You should drink water right after waking up in the morning to purify the body with a glass of warm water that will clean the digestive tract, compensate for the lack of water overnight. Drink water before and after meals for about 30 minutes. You should not drink and eat while diluting digestive enzymes, eating indigestion. Do not drink much water before going to bed because you will have to urinate, the urinary system has to work tirelessly, leading to poor sleep if you have to wake up at night. You should drink filtered water, cooled boiled water, unsweetened vegetable juice, boiled vegetable juice … Do not drink carbonated soft drinks and too sweet fruit juices, drink ice.
