Gastroenterologist Olga Sitkina noted in her Telegram channel that one should not always follow one general recommendation that a person needs to drink up to 2.5 liters of clean water daily.
It is important to focus on the needs of the person.
It is also important to consider that not only clean water can save the body from dehydration.
The thing is that the menu should also include tea, soups and juices.
Only in case of dehydration should you give preference to clean water.
It is also necessary to take into account that there are situations when the body needs such liquid more than usual.
We are talking about illnesses such as acute respiratory viral infections, fever, diarrhea or vomiting.
Children, the elderly, and those who actively engage in sports should drink more fluids.
But that's not all. Those who have a lot of fiber in their usual menu should drink more pure liquid. You should also try to avoid dehydration and drink more water in hot weather or when drinking alcohol.
