Eight glasses of water a day, health and beauty? If you are a stomach patient, you should be careful about drinking plain water. Drinking a lot of plain water may cause your gastric disease to linger. Stomach disease does not heal, the disaster in drinking water Wang aunt is my classmate’s mother, these years, I see her more than my old classmates, it is because Wang aunt is an “old stomach disease”, from time to time to find me to prescribe some medicine to regulate the conditioning. A few years down the line, I basically figured out her physique, every time her stomach problems, not out of a few pairs of drugs, I can take care of it. When my old classmates praised me for getting rid of the disease, Aunt Wang gave me a problem. This time, I have been seeing Aunt Wang for 3 weeks, and I have changed the prescription twice, but she still feels bloated, doesn’t want to eat, and sometimes wants to vomit. I again carefully review the prescription, there is no wrong medicine ah, where the problem lies? Stomach disease and diet are most closely related, I asked Aunt Wang if her diet had changed recently, Aunt Wang replied, “I am old stomach disease, eating has always been very careful, as long as you do not let me touch, I do not dare to eat.” After a pause, Aunt Wang continued, “If I have to say what is different from before, it is that I drink more water. You know, I have coronary heart disease and high blood lipids, I heard that drinking eight cups of water every day can prevent stroke, so I insisted on drinking eight cups of water every day during this period. Drinking water shouldn’t affect my stomach, right?” ”Oh! Then do you feel that your mouth is dry before you drink so much water?” It seems that the cause of the disease is about to emerge, and I’m chasing after this “water”. “That’s not true, I’m not going to lie, I drink quite painful, sometimes drink too much, feel light inside the mouth, no taste at all.” “It seems that this is the ‘bane of the water’! Better not drink more,” I joked. Three kinds of physical people, should not drink more water Chinese medicine is divided into nine categories, different physical people have different characteristics and dietary contraindications. Among them, the qi deficiency, yang deficiency, phlegm dampness of these three constitutions is not suitable for drinking a lot of water, otherwise there will be stomach distension, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms of spleen deficiency water dampness within the stop, serious will also appear dizziness, vomiting, light mouth, the corners of the mouth flowing clear thin saliva and other water drink on the offender’s performance. 1, qi deficiency quality manifested as: mental fatigue, less breath and lazy speech, easy sweating, light mouth, do not want to drink water.

The tongue is light and fat, with teeth marks on the side, the tongue is moist, and even some people seem to have a layer of water on the tongue. 3, phlegm damp quality manifested as: the face is pale yellow and dull, the eyes have a slight puffy feeling, the skin of the face more oil. This body type of people sweat, sweat sticky, mouth sticky or feel sweet in the mouth. One of the easy things to identify is that people with this type of constitution often feel very tired and tired, their bodies are heavy, especially the waist and legs have a heavy feeling, sometimes have chest tightness, and easily cough phlegm. This type of person has cloudy urine. The common characteristics of these three constitutions are: 1, do not like to drink water, even if drinking water also like to drink hot water. 2, usually prefer to eat something slightly hot, many people like to eat ginger, or feel comfortable after eating ginger soup, fried ginger rice. Decoction soup to drink instead of water, hydration and nourish the body “can not drink a lot of water? Can’t drink a lot even if I’m thirsty? Then how much water should I drink a day?” Aunt Wang began to ask questions like a series of pearls. “Don’t worry, take your time, I will explain to you properly.” I replied. Qi deficiency, Yang deficiency, phlegm dampness, these three types of constitution, if you feel dry mouth, you can still drink some water, but do not drink a lot at once, you can drink slowly in small portions. However, they may also not feel thirsty all day, so do not completely do not drink water, you can consider drinking tea instead of water. The Yang deficiency quality can drink some Pu-erh tea, or decoction of some ginseng soup to drink instead of water; Qi deficiency quality people with white atractylodes or party ginseng boiled soup to drink instead of water; phlegm damp quality people with coix rice or lentils boiled soup to drink instead of water. Of course, people like Aunt Wang, who has obvious stomach symptoms after drinking water, should first come to the hospital for consultation and treatment, and then change her water drinking plan after conditioning.
