The Correct Hydration Method

Correct hydration is effective for health and beauty!

It is the water that you usually take without being conscious of it, but it is said that if you drink it correctly, it will be effective for your health and beauty. Water intake is not only related to the prevention of heat stroke, but also to the maintenance of daily health, the prevention of illness, and the freshness and youthfulness of the skin. However, drinking a lot of water is for beauty and health, but it may be counterproductive depending on the content and timing. Therefore, this time we will introduce hydration that is good for beauty and health.

In the first place, how much water is in the human body?

As many of you may know, it is said that about 60% of the human body is made of water. However, this number is the percentage of general adult males.If you look closely by age and gender,Newborn baby about 75%Children about 70%Adult male about 60%Adult women about 55%Old man about 50%There are individual differences and it may vary slightly, but this ratio is roughly the amount of water in the body. And when 5% of these are gone, symptoms such as dehydration and heat stroke occur. If 10% is lost, physical function will be impaired, and if 20% or more is lost, it will be fatal.

How much water do you need in a day?

Let's check the minimum amount of water you should consume in a day with the following simple calculation

Body weight (kg) x approx. 35 (ml) = daily water requirement (ml)

And since water can also be taken from food, the number obtained by subtracting that amount is the amount of water taken from the drink of the day. If you have a well-balanced diet, the amount of water you can get from food is about 600 to 800 ml, so basically it is a good idea to underestimate and calculate with 600 ml.For example, a woman weighing 50 kg50 x 35 = about 1750 mlAnd 1150ml, which is obtained by subtracting 600ml from this, is the minimum daily water intake.

What is correct hydration?

In order to take full advantage of the health and beauty benefits of water, pay attention to the amount and timing of intake. It is not effective to drink a large amount of water unnecessarily. Even if you drink a large amount of water at one time, it cannot be absorbed, and on the contrary, it puts a strain on the stomach. Ideally, drink about 1 glass (150-250 ml) in detail.The timing when you want to consciously drink water is immediately after waking up, before going to bed, during meals, before and after exercise, during, and before and after bathing.Also, if the water is cooled too much, it will put a strain on the body. Be careful not to drink with plenty of ice or overcool in the refrigerator. It is said that 8 to 13 ° C is appropriate.

Let's hydrate in detail

The water required for the day can be efficiently absorbed by drinking as finely as possible. Be aware that if you drink a lot of water at one time, the water may be excreted as urine. To benefit from hydration, it is important to continue to drink fine water and keep it moist from the inside out. It is said that skin that is sufficiently moisturized has a stable amount of sebum and an enhanced barrier function, making it difficult for acne (pimples) to occur. In addition, you can expect effects such as getting a lean constitution that is effective for dieting and making wrinkles less noticeable.
