Many people know about the requirement to drink two liters of water daily.

Water is really important for our body and lack of it can lead to dehydration and various health problems.

However, the water consumption rate is individual for each person.

This indicator depends on many factors, including age, weight, level of physical activity and even the time of year.

Let's illustrate this with an example: in hot weather or during sports, the need for water increases, while in the cold season it decreases.

Moreover, most experts agree that two liters of water is not only pure water, but also water contained in other drinks and dishes, such as tea, coffee, juices, soups and others.

In addition, we get about 20% of the fluid we need from food.

Therefore, we can conclude that you should not rely on general recommendations; instead, you need to monitor your well-being and consume as much water as you need.
