Middle school students drink water to lose weight method

Middle school students need to scientifically control their water intake and combine it with reasonable diet and exercise to assist in weight loss through drinking water. Relying solely on drinking a large amount of water cannot achieve effective weight loss results.

The daily water requirement of the human body is related to age, weight, and activity level. It is recommended that middle school students control their daily water intake at 1500-2000 milliliters and drink it 6-8 times. Drinking 200-300 milliliters of warm water 30 minutes before meals can create a temporary sense of fullness and reduce the amount of food consumed during meals. However, excessive drinking of water may lead to hyponatremia and symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. The appropriate water temperature is 20-40 ℃ to avoid ice water stimulating the gastrointestinal mucosa. Zero calorie drinks such as plain water and light lemon water can be selected, and sugary drinks are prohibited from being used as substitutes. Some students attempt to suppress their appetite by drinking large amounts of water in a short period of time, which may lead to water poisoning, manifested as nausea, vomiting, and blurred consciousness. In extreme cases, it can lead to brain cell edema, which is life-threatening. Middle school students who are in the growth and development stage should not drink more than 3000 milliliters of water per day, and after vigorous exercise, they should also supplement electrolytes. People with underlying diseases such as kidney disease and heart failure need to strictly limit their fluid intake.

It is recommended that middle school students adjust their diet structure and engage in moderate exercise to achieve healthy weight loss. They should ensure a daily intake of 500 grams of vegetables and 200 grams of low sugar fruits, and choose aerobic exercises such as jogging and skipping rope. They should exercise 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. Parents should pay attention to the trend of their children's weight changes. If their body mass index exceeds the 85th percentile of their peers, they should seek timely evaluation at the nutrition or endocrinology department.
