      Experts tell us that boiled water has an "internal cleansing" effect on the human body. Expectant mothers supplement a lot of nutrients during pregnancy and need plain water, the "cleaner", to help clean the intestines to promote the absorption of nutrients.

      1. Boiled water is also a “master” of health care.”

      Water is mainly responsible for digesting food, transporting nutrients, keeping joints and internal organs moist, and regulating the body's temperature. When there is sufficient fresh water, all tissues of the human body can work effectively. However, when dehydrated, it can lead to body pain, tissue damage, and a variety of healthy question. According to research, conditions such as asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, period Migraine Symptoms can be alleviated or even cured by drinking enough water.

      Good water can dissolve and carry various substances necessary for the human body, but poor quality water can also dissolve and carry a large number of substances that are toxic and harmful to the human body, causing acute and chronic poisoning and even affecting the health of future generations. Humans need 5-10 days to renew the water in their bodies. If you drink poor quality water for a long time, you will be in a vicious cycle for a long time. ; On the contrary, if people can drink good water, health will always be with you.

      2. 5 good habits for pregnant mothers to drink water healthily

      1. Get up and drink a glass of water

      Early morning can be said to be the best time to replenish water in the day, because drinking water in the early morning can wake up the intestines and stomach immediately, stimulate peristalsis, and prevent constipate , and more importantly, after a long period of sleep, blood levels increase.

      Replenishing water at this time can quickly reduce blood concentration, promote circulation, and make people feel refreshed and awake.

      2. A glass of water before going to bed

      The human body naturally sweats during sleep and loses water and salt unconsciously. During the eight hours of sleep, the body cannot replenish water, which is why your mouth feels dry when you wake up. Therefore, doctors recommend replenishing water and electrolytes half an hour before going to bed so that the body can maintain a balanced state during sleep, and at the same time reduce the concentration of urine to prevent the occurrence of stones.

      3. Drink water on an empty stomach before meals

      You should drink a certain amount of water about an hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drink water on an empty stomach before meals. The water only stays in the stomach for 2 to 3 minutes, and then quickly enters the small intestine and is absorbed into the blood. It can be replenished to tissue cells throughout the body in about an hour, supplying the body's need for water. Therefore, it is important to replenish water before meals. Especially before breakfast, because after sleeping all night for a long time, the human body loses more water. It is very important to drink more water when you wake up in the morning.

      4. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water

      When a person feels thirsty, it indicates that the water balance in the body has been lost and the cells are in a state of mild dehydration. If you insist on drinking water only when you are thirsty, it is like watering crops when the ground is cracked. It is too late. You should develop good drinking habits, drink water often, drink in small amounts and frequently, so that the body's water content is always in a good state.

      5. It is not advisable to drink a large amount of water quickly at one time after exercise

      Although you will lose a lot of water after exercise, you should not drink a lot of water quickly, but in a "steady flow".

      To make up for water loss during exercise, you should replenish water before, during, and after exercise. It is recommended to drink 300-500 ml of water before exercise, 150-250 ml every 15 minutes during exercise, and replenish the required water after exercise.

      3. 7 types of water that pregnant mothers should not drink

      1. No boiling tap water

      Because the chlorine in tap water interacts with the organic matter remaining in the water, a carcinogen called "trihydroxy" is produced. Pregnant women should also not drink boiled water stored in a thermos bottle for more than 24 hours, because as the water temperature in the bottle gradually drops, the organic matter containing chlorine in the water will continue to be decomposed into harmful nitrites, which is extremely detrimental to the internal environment of the pregnant woman's body.

      2. Boiling water that has been boiling for a long time

      After repeated boiling, the concentration of harmful substances such as nitrite and arsenic in the water will increase relatively, which will cause the low iron hemoglobin in the blood to combine into methemoglobin that cannot carry oxygen, which may cause the blood oxygen content of the expectant mother to decrease, threatening fetus safety. Nowadays, many people prefer to drink purified water that is convenient and hygienic. Pure water is pumped from the ground and undergoes multiple filtration and sedimentation processes to filter out microorganisms and impurities, but at the same time, it also filters out the minerals contained in the water. Because the calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements contained in water have important physiological effects on the human body, and expectant mothers also need minerals during this period, ordinary warm water or vegetable juice or fruit juice may be more suitable for expectant mothers at this time. ; Milk and juice are also good choices for expectant mothers.

      3. Water contaminated by pollutants such as wastewater from industrial production

      Pregnant women must not drink water that has been contaminated by wastewater, waste gas, waste residue and other pollutants from industrial production. Even if such water is boiled at high temperatures, the toxic chemicals in the water will still be present.

      Experts specially remind: Pregnant mothers should not drink the "waste water" after steaming rice or steamed meat.

      4. Tea brewed in a thermos cup

      Because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, theophylline, aromatic oils and multiple vitamins. If the tea leaves are soaked in the water of the thermos cup, the multivitamins will be destroyed in large quantities and the nutrition will be reduced. The tea will be bitter and harmful substances will increase. After drinking, it will cause digestive system problems. nerve Systemic disorder.

      5. Strong tea

      Strong tea contains more coffee Because and tannic acid. Pregnant women often drink strong tea, which has an impact on fetal bone development. Tannic acid can also hinder the absorption of iron, leading to anemia Or it is difficult to treat anemia.

      6. Soda

      When the phosphates in soda enter the intestines, they react with the iron in food and produce substances that are useless to the human body. Pregnant women who drink a lot of soda will consume some iron and may cause anemia. The caffeine contained in cola drinks can quickly pass through the placenta and affect the fetus, causing adverse effects on the fetus. Caffeine can cause cleft palates, toe or foot deformities, spina bifida, no mandible, no eyes, incomplete ossification, and developmental delay in experimental animals.

      7. Drinks that have been chilled for too long

      Drinks that are too cold can cause gastrointestinal vasospasm and ischemia, resulting in stomach pain, bloating, and indigestion. The fetus is sensitive to cold stimulation, making the fetus restless.
