冬季でも、こまめな水分補給を忘れまい

　寒い今の時季、私たちは喉が渇く感覚が少ないです。しかし、渇きを感じてから水を飲むのではなく「渇きを感じる前に水分を摂る」ことがポイントでしょう。

　発汗や排尿により、水分が不足しやすい時間帯は就寝の前後、運動の前後や途中、入浴の前後、飲酒後とされており、枕元に水分をおいて就寝することが大切でしょう。しかし、砂糖や塩分などの濃度が高いと、吸収まで時間がかかるといわれます。

　調べてみると、日本人の死亡原因の多くは脳梗塞や心筋梗塞であり、最大のリスク要因の一つに、体内の水分不足があげられます。特に脳梗塞は後遺症を残して介護が必要となる場合が多いです。

　これらの疾患は夜間から早朝にかけて発症することが多く、そう言えば、救急車のサイレンはこの時間帯によく聞かれます。夏は脱水、「冬は体を動かさなくなることで発症」し、原因は、就寝中には水分をとらないために脱水傾向になると考えられます。適度な水分の摂取は私たちにとって重要な習慣と言えます。

Dear my friends abroad

　During this cold season in Japan, we feel less thirsty. However, the key is to drink water before we feel thirsty, rather than drinking water after we feel thirsty.

　The times when we tend to become dehydrated due to sweating and urination are before and after going to bed, before and during exercise, before and after taking a bath, and after drinking alcohol. Therefore, it is important for us to keep some water by bedside before going to bed. However, it is said that if the concentration of sugar or salt is high, it will take longer for absorption.

　According to research, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are the most common causes of death among Japanese people, and one of the biggest risk factors is lack of water in the body. In particular, cerebral infarction often leaves aftereffect and requires nursing care.

　These diseases often occur from night to early morning, and by the way, ambulance sirens are often heard during this time. It occurs in the summer when we become dehydrated, and in the winter when we stop moving, and we tend to become dehydrated because we don't drink water while sleep. Adequate water intake is the indispensable habit for us.
