Nutritionist tells how much water you need to drink per day
It is no secret that a person consists of 80% water. Drinking 2 liters of water a day is a myth. Soup, compote or tea are also considered liquid intake.
Nutritionist Svetlana Chernushevich said that water is very important for the body, you need to drink it constantly in the right amounts, which is 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight.
If a person is actively exercising or is in a hot climate, the amount of water may increase. Sometimes people associate the norm of drinking water with clean water in a mug, but this is not true.
Tea, soup, water in vegetables or fruits are also taken as water consumption. Alcohol and coffee cannot be counted as water - they remove water from the body. A cup of coffee is compensated by a cup of water.
It is advisable to drink water throughout the day, not 2 cups at a time. If swelling occurs regularly, you need to check your urinary system or kidneys.
You don't have to force yourself to drink water if you don't want to. By the way, excessive water consumption is not suitable for people after surgery.
