According to statistics, the vast majority of cerebral thrombosis was discovered when it was early in the morning and it was mostly in the middle of the night. Due to various factors such as physiological aging, the elderly have varying degrees of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, and the blood viscosity is also high. People will lose part of their water due to breathing and sweating during the night. In addition, the elderly often have the habit of getting up late (urinating more), and body fluids will also consume more. The lack of water at night will increase the viscosity of the blood and increase the platelet cohesion, making the atherosclerotic blood vessels easier to embolize. If the elderly drink a glass of boiled water at night, it will help prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction. occur.
Elderly people drink water at night to prevent vascular disease
Researchers at a medical university in Japan conducted group studies on the elderly. One group ate 250 ml of boiled water in the middle of the night, and the other group slept until dawn, and then measured their blood concentrations in the morning. As a result, it was found that the blood concentration of a group of people drinking water was significantly reduced.
