When drinking water, it is best to drink in small sips, in small amounts and multiple times. Do not take too large gulps at once, otherwise the body will not be able to absorb it effectively. Drinking too many gulps of water is like a sudden heavy rain. Especially for people with poor circulation and blocked meridians, it can cause local "flooding" in the body, also known as edema.
