Health News Desk: There is probably no need to tell how important water is in our lives. We can spend a few days without food but it is very difficult to spend even a day without water. Water is not just our need but also like a health tonic, hence it is not enough to just drink it but it is also very important to drink it in the right way. You must have heard about many things related to drinking water. Like one should not drink water too often or should not drink water immediately after eating. Among these, some people say that drinking water while standing has a bad effect on the knees and they become weak very quickly. However, instead of just paying attention to what we hear from people, we must know the truth behind it. So let us know today what the experts have to say on this.
Does drinking water while standing really affect your knees?
Many times people are heard saying that by drinking water while standing, the water goes directly into the knees and joints. Due to this, the problem of knee pain or joint pain starts. However, these are just things heard by people. Expert opinion is completely different in this matter. According to experts, there is no proof in medical science that drinking water while standing causes pain in knees or joints. Actually, whatever we eat or drink reaches the stomach directly through the food pipe, from where the process of digestion or filtration begins. In such a situation, it is not possible for water to enter the knees or joints by drinking water while standing, nor is it medically proof. However, it is also true that water should always be drunk slowly and comfortably.
Drinking water is as important for our body as it is to drink it properly, hence we must keep some things in mind while drinking water. Drink the right amount of water regularly to keep the body healthy. Experts believe that drinking 4 to 5 liters of water daily is important for our body. Water should be drunk neither in very little quantity nor in very much quantity, both of these are harmful for health. Water should always be drunk while sitting comfortably, sip by sip. It is better to drink water half an hour before and half an hour after eating. Apart from this, drinking a glass of lukewarm water in the morning on an empty stomach and before sleeping at night is also beneficial for health.
