      People can go a day without eating, but they cannot go a day without drinking water. Especially the elderly, since most of them suffer from coronary heart disease ,hypertension, Hyperlipidemia , and was even required to drink 2,000 ml of water every day. But paradoxically, elderly people suffering from prostatic hyperplasia male , if you drink too much water, you will have problems such as waiting to urinate, inability to urinate, and increased nocturia.

      What is the right way to drink water?

      After getting up in the morning and washing up, quickly drink 250 ml of boiled water that was dried the night before. The purpose of this is to cleanse the stomach, intestines and relieve bowel movements.

      Before and after breakfast, there may be several oral medicines waiting for you to take. At this time, you can use some warm water to complete this task.

      In the morning, you can make a cup of green tea, take a walk, and move around; if you are tired, you can sit for a while, but don't sit for a long time. Because green tea contains phytoestrogens, it is very helpful in alleviating prostate hyperplasia; sitting for a long time is harmful to the maintenance of the prostate.

      You may also need to take medicine before and after lunch. Just remember one principle: use boiled water when taking medicine, and drink tea half an hour after taking medicine.

      After dinner, drink less water, do not drink tea, and it is best to go out for a walk. Even if you are indoors, you should get up and move around so that the water you drink can be discharged as soon as possible. On the one hand, this can reduce the burden on the heart and kidneys during sleep; on the other hand, it also avoids insomnia caused by tea.
