Dietary water seems to improve skin hydration without influencing hemodynamics
Dietary water seems to improve skin hydration without influencing hemodynamics
The various studies on the importance of water in the hydration of human skin have suggested that an increased dietary intake might positively impact the physiology of normal skin. We evaluated the consequences of increasing water intake through drinking in skin hydration in vivo. Eating habits were maintained, evaluated by a Food Frequency Questionnaire and based on total water consumption. In two groups with different total water consumption, we evaluated the impact of 2L/day water after 30 days,. This increase produced no hemodynamic changes or weight changes but an improvement in the epidermal hydration was suggested. The magnitude of the impact on skin hydration was higher in the group that regularly consumed less water, suggesting that the increase in water consumption has more beneficial effects on those individuals who habitually consume less water per day. These data are consistent with the published literature, justifying interest in looking further into this topic, in order to better understand the importance of dietary water in the context of cutaneous physiology, especially in the group of subjects with reduced consumption habits.
Os vários estudos sobre a importância da água na hidratação da pele humana vêm sugerindo que o aumento da ingestão de água pode ter um impacto positivo na fisiologia da pele normal. Mantendo os hábitos dietários, avaliados por Questionário de Frequência Alimentar e com base no consumo de água total , avaliámos as consequências do aumento de água bebida na bioimpedância e na hidratação da pele “in vivo”. Em dois grupos com diferentes consumos de água total, avaliamos, ao fim de um mês, o impacto do aumento do aporte de 2L/dia de água bebida. Este aumento não produziu alterações hemodinânicas ou ponderais. Os resultados sugerem uma melhoria da hidratação epidérmica. A magnitude do impacto sobre a hidratação cutânea é maior no grupo que regularmente consome menos água, sugerindo que o aumento do consumo de água tem mais efeitos benéficos na saúde cutânea dos indivíduos que consomem menos água por dia. Estes dados estão de acordo, com a literatura publicada, justificando o interesse no aprofundamento do tema, de modo a contribuir para o conhecimento sobre a importância da água no contexto da fisiologia cutânea em especial no grupo de indivíduos com hábitos de menor consumo.
