💧 Small Talk｜Drinking Water: Health & Safety Tips

多飲水好重要，但都要飲得安全

We often hear people say:

“Drink more water. It’s always good for you.”

我哋成日聽到人講：

「多啲飲水，對身體一定好。」

But is drinking more water always better?

Not necessarily.

但係，飲得越多就一定越好咩？

其實未必。

Drinking enough water is important,

but drinking too much can be unsafe.

飲足夠嘅水好重要，

但飲過量反而會唔安全。

Drinking too much water in a short time

can dilute electrolytes and cause discomfort.

短時間內飲太多水，

有機會沖淡身體入面嘅電解質，令人唔舒服。

A safer tip is:

Drink when you are thirsty, and spread it out through the day.

比較安全嘅做法係：

口渴先飲水，同埋分開一日慢慢飲。

Check your body signals:

Your urine color, energy level, and how you feel.

留意自己身體嘅訊號：

例如小便顏色、精神狀態，同埋整體感覺。

Water supports health,

but it is not a miracle cure.

水對健康有幫助，

但唔係神奇藥水。

Real health comes from daily balance:

sleep, food, movement, and peace of mind.

真正嘅健康，來自每日嘅平衡：

瞓覺、飲食、活動，同埋心靈平安。

Take care of your body — gently and wisely. 🤍

溫柔咁照顧自己嘅身體，

亦都要有智慧。
