Drinking clean water is an irreplaceable medicine for our whole body, and especially for our blood vessels.
In general, vascular health deteriorates as people age. Vessels lose their elasticity, become more fragile and prone to rupture, and cholesterol builds up inside them, which narrows the vessels and sometimes even blocks them completely.
For vascular health, avoid overdoing tea, coffee, and sweets, and be sure to drink your daily water requirement (30 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight). This is because drinks such as tea and coffee also have a diuretic effect and increase fluid loss from the body. We should also be careful with carbonated water: drinking too much can raise blood pressure and cause or worsen the symptoms of heart failure.
Be sure to drink your average daily amount of water, taking into account the climate you live in, your weight, your health, and other influencing factors. Ideally, drink 1 glass of water every hour throughout the day without waiting until you feel thirsty.
