However、Simply drinking water is not the right way to hydrate。
The amount of water that the body can absorb at one time is about one glass of water。Because even if you drink a lot at once, it will be excreted immediately.、Drink plenty of water 6~8 times a day。

Sufficient humidification

As mentioned earlier, in winter, when you use heating appliances, you unknowingly lose moisture through your skin and exhaled air。To avoid drying of the air due to the use of heating appliances、When you are indoors, use a humidifier as much as possible.、Keep the humidity at 40~60%。
When the humidity drops below 40%、In addition to drying the eyes and skin、Viruses will also become active。Because it will not only prevent dehydration, but also prevent colds.、Make sure to maintain the right humidity。
When using a humidifier、Disinfection time of humidifierAnd don't forget! Prevents slime and unpleasant odors from the humidifier、You can remove germs from the tank!

And more.、Moisturize your skin with a moisturizing cream、Reducing exposure is also effective because it can prevent water from evaporating。
