你是“嗜水狂”嗎？

Aquaholics are people who have become addicted to drinking water over the past few years. They’ve been lured by the promises of better skin, a detoxed body and more energy, but soon feel they can’t manage without regular sips of water — and feel panicky if they have to go without for even short lengths of time.

“嗜水狂”(aquaholics)指近年出現(xiàn)的對喝水上癮的人。他們?yōu)榱藫碛懈玫钠つw、為身體排毒、讓自己精力充沛而狂喝水，但很快發(fā)現(xiàn)自己已經(jīng)離不開水了——哪怕只是很短的時間里沒有水喝，都會讓他們抓狂不已。

Drinking large amounts of water, particularly at the end of the day, can disrupt sleep, experts suggest. Over-hydration is linked to many of the extreme sweating problems, too. Drinking too much water too quickly can even lead to water intoxication.

專家表示，飲用大量水會擾亂睡眠，尤其在晚間。過量飲水(over-hydration)還會導(dǎo)致各種多汗相關(guān)的疾病。短時間內(nèi)大量喝水甚至?xí)鹚卸?water intoxication)。

According to NHS advice, most adult women need only around 1.6 liters of fluids in general (rather than water, specifically) a day, and men around two liters, to keep the body working efficiently. All drinks can count towards this target — including hot drinks such as tea and coffee, milk and fruit juices and even the water contained in foods such as fruits and vegetables.

根據(jù)英國國民保健署建議，多數(shù)成年女性一天通常只需要1.6升液體(不一定是水)即可維持身體有效運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，男性則需要大約2升。所有飲料都可計(jì)算在內(nèi)——包括茶、咖啡、牛奶、果汁等熱飲，甚至也包括蔬果等食物中所含的水。
