Often people drink a lot of tea, coffee, or drinks, thinking that the body has enough water, but according to doctors, the human body needs at least 1500CC water every day, but tea, coffee and other drinks contain theophylline or coffee and take away the water from the body because of diuresis. Although it may temporarily quench thirst or think that water has been drunk, it cannot be counted as the amount of water that should be drunk every day.

If so, how can the lack of moisture be replenished? Rectal surgeon Chen Shoushan points out that many people may be making tea all day because of their work, but the opportunity to replenish water is also indispensable. The best way is to put the water cup aside and replenish it slowly and regularly to keep the body hydrated.

He points out that to avoid constipation, fiber and water are indispensable; the role of fiber is to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and retain water, making feces and intestines moist and easy to discharge, but if there is not enough water in the body, there is not enough water to keep the fiber water, and the stool and intestines are still dry, so it is not easy to discharge.

Chen Shoushan warns that you must replenish at least 1500CC boiled water every day, and drink indirectly and persistently. Don't wait until you feel thirsty. Under enough water and fiber, your intestines will be moist and will not be constipated.
