To prevent loss of water in the winter

Is it because you still lose water in the winter?

I can’t imagine not losing water because I don’t sweat in the winter. As the body loses water regularly through metabolic processes, it can also happen through factors that you are not aware of. If you are a grandparent, there are many factors that can cause you to lose water in the winter.

For example

The weather

Except for the mountainous regions, Myanmar’s winters are not as cold as before. It’s only cold in the early morning and early evening, and the rest of the time it’s still hot. The weather is hot during the day and cool at night.

So, during the day, I sweat like in summer. It’s hard to live with the dirt.

I don’t want to get angry

If you tell your grandparents to drink water, it’s cold at night. I’ve heard it said that you’re going to get a hole. So, when I drink less water not only at bedtime, but throughout the day, my body becomes less hydrated while sitting.

In addition, it is cold at night and they are not very thirsty and do not remember to drink water. This is also one of the reasons for low hydration.

Benefits of drinking more water in winter

Why you need to drink more water in winter! Although winter is not as hot as summer, the environment is cool and dry, and the humidity in the air may be low. This situation makes me sweaty again and it is difficult to dry the sweat, so the body heats up.

In addition, in winter, you may sweat while exercising or doing physical activities, and due to the cold weather, you may urinate frequently.

Morning exercise

On winter mornings, the adults do yoga in groups. walking group There are often exercise groups. If you play sweaty and don’t drink enough water, you can lose water.

The body’s hydration can be obtained from food as well as drinking water. When food is missing, not only is there a lack of nutrients, but also a decrease in hydration.

Illness

Cold in winter Illnesses often recur. Grandparents with weak immune systems are the main victims. When the body heats up, sweats a lot and loses water and salt. When you don’t want to eat food, you are dehydrated again.

Taking medications

Adults who take diuretics often lose more water and salt than usual because they urinate more.

Consequences of dehydration in old age
