As the topic of water (Water for Health) comes up, advice to drink eight glasses of water a day comes from everywhere. If everyone's body is not the same, is drinking the same amount of water enough or not? How do we understand how much water our body needs? It is a simple principle that we drink water when we are thirsty, it is not enough to do this all the time. Shouldn't our water needs be decided based on our physical activity, climate, season, food we eat... and so on? Here is useful information to understand how much water we need and how much is enough.
What is the effect?
Our daily water requirement depends on many factors. For example, people living in high altitudes, doing physically demanding jobs should drink more water. Also, those who are bigger in body, those who have developed more muscles need more water. If training in a fitnet, in an environment with high temperature and humidity, the need for water is high. At higher altitudes breathing becomes more intense and urine output is also higher. So more water is needed. In health conditions like fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, drinking water is also necessary. If you eat a lot of salt, if you eat a lot of protein, you need to provide more water to the body. It is important for pregnant women to drink more water for their health and that of the baby. Lactating mothers need a lot of water.
Knowing who needs more water and in what climates. What is this excess water? Above eight glasses of liquid a day can be called so. This includes water, milk, buttermilk, plain water, coffee, tea, soup, fruit juice, lemon tea or broth, and any healthy drinks that are sugar-free can count towards these eight glasses. So it is definitely not difficult to take that much liquid per day. Now more water means more than these eight glasses. When there is very little physical activity, when the weather is hot, when you drink a lot of fruit, sorbet, buttermilk etc., water is a little less enough for the body. Even if it is calculated for the day, it is 3 liters daily. No need to drink water. If the foods you eat are juicy, if you are a person who consumes a lot of healthy drinks like buttermilk, juice, smoothies - 1.5 to 1.8 liters. Drinking enough water is enough. The rest comes from food. How to forget to drink water?
