[헤럴드경제=장연주 기자] It is common knowledge that drinking a lot of water is good for your health, but it is not clear how much you should drink and where it is good for. However, drinking enough water helps with weight loss, low blood pressure, migraines, etc.
Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) reviewed 1,464 studies and systematically analyzed the final 18 clinical trials they selected to determine whether drinking enough water can help with weight loss. weight, prevention of kidney stones, migraines, urinary tract infections, and low blood pressure.
The results of this study were published on the 25th (local time) in JAMA Network Open, the journal of the American Medical Association.
What is most remarkable about this study is that water consumption has an effect on weight loss.
As a result of an analysis of three existing studies, the researchers explained that adults are likely to lose weight if they drink about 500 ml of water before a meal.
In one experiment, participants who drank water with every meal (for 12 weeks to 12 months) lost up to twice as much weight as a control group that did not increase their water intake. The researchers analyzed that this was because water drunk before a meal increased satiety and contributed to reducing the amount of food in general.
Drinking water also has a great effect in preventing kidney stones.
Two studies of kidney stones found that increasing water intake reduced the recurrence rate by about 50%.
It also helped women with recurrent urinary tract infections. Increasing daily water intake to 1500 ml reduced the frequency of infections and increased the time between infections.
The researchers concluded that “drinking more water may help flush out bacteria and improve urinary tract health. “
Additionally, drinking enough water has been shown to help control low blood pressure, prevent migraines, and control blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
Researchers found that adults who suffered from headaches saw their symptoms improve within three months of drinking more water, and that more water helped improve symptoms in young adults with low blood pressure. In addition, when diabetic patients drank water before meals (an additional intake of 1,000 ml per day), fasting blood sugar levels decreased significantly.
Thus, in adults with overactive bladder symptoms, frequency of urination, urgency, and enuresis decreased significantly when water intake was reduced by 25%.
