With numerous years of practical experience and extensive knowledge in the field of integrative medicine and functional health, talk to the Dr. Monica Rodríguez It is a wonderful source of learning that also serves to dismantle some erroneous beliefs, such as that the more water we drink better.
We drive the body crazy
We have more information than ever regarding health, but nevertheless I have the feeling that in general we are at quite low levels of health. physical and emotional well-beingWe have a lot of information, true, and many channels to access it, but what fails is our lifestyle, which makes alter the body many of its functions. For example, in more than half the world we now have food and water within reach, always, without having to go looking for it, without making an effort. However, our body is still prepared to drink and eat ‘ad libitum’ when it finds those sources of energy, and then spend a long time without it. Now, however, we don’t give him rest and we eat and drink when it is not necessary. Eating too much or between meals is not good, but drinking water is not always healthy? You have to drink water, of course, but not like many people do: in sips and out of obligation throughout the day. That has made us greatly deregulated the core of thirst, because it is disappearing, it is like we are refueling little by little, without it ever letting us know that there is a lack of fuel, that is, that there is thirst. Physiologically, the body is still prepared to drink when thirsty and eat when hungry. Well, I’m doing it terribly… and most of my friends, too. It’s a very feminine custom, women often carry the bottle everywhere we go. Men generally do it better, they drink a lot in the morning, or following a big meal, or following playing sports, but they are not constantly drinking buchitos. Drinking without thirst and without rest deregulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, a sequence of hormones and reactions designed to help regulate blood pressure. In the hypothalamus there is a pre-thirst nucleus that must warn us that water is needed when osmolarity is altered. And if we have not done it this way for years, can this alert system be re-educated? Of course, the sensation of thirst can be recovered with the technique of ’24 hour water fast’. A day without drinking a drop of liquid, no fruit, no vegetables, only proteins and cereals. After less than 24 hours, 90% of people feel incredibly thirsty, so we do have to drink what the body asks for, and normally with this way of waking it up it recovers. What other problems can drinking water cause? In general, water should be drunk within the first 10 hours following you start your activity in the morning. It is a way to wake up the body, to give it water at the time of activity. We have to respect biorhythms, not start drinking water like crazy when we get home to reach specific liters. The body needs to live by day, rest at night, eat when hungry and drink when thirsty. Breaking that lifestyle is what leads to many pathologies. Because talking regarding current sleep problems would be enough for another entire interview. Absolutely, for me the four legs of the lifestyle disaster that the majority of the population leads are: stress (chronic); chronodisruption; (poor) nutrition and sedentary lifestyle. The chronodisruption that alters sleep comes from many things, but above all from being at 10:00 p.m. at night with stimuli such as playing sports, watching screens, eating, drinking… At that time the body is biologically prepared to minimize its functioning. , not to demand a peak of effort. To readjust our body, too many things have to change. Let’s start by changing what is in our power, for example, avoiding the use of screens before going to sleep, eating dinner at least two hours before going to bed, drinking water as we have explained, a good nutrition and practicing physical exercise.
Mónica is an open book and regarding good habits to ensure the best rest, as well as other guidelines that, especially women, we must take care of, she told me very interesting guidelines that we will continue to tell you soon at TELVA.
