How much water per day should I drink to a person?
Although water has no nutritional value, it nevertheless occupies an exceptionally important place in our diet, since it is one of the main regulatory factors of weight. It is water that has a key role in how our body manages the fat deposits in it. In addition, water prevents our body from dehydration and is necessary for it for chemical processes that occur as a result of metabolism.
The Institute of Medicine, the US advisory body for health and medicine, recommends that men consume slightly less than 3 liters of water per day, equivalent to about 13 cups, and women 2.2 liters (equivalent to about 9 cups).
According to accepted international recommendations, the amount of water drunk by a person during the day should be approximately 1 milliliter for each consumed energy calorie - for people living in a medium with a normal temperature. For example, a man who consumes an average of 3000 calories a day, it is recommended to drink 3 liters of water daily. In all cases, we are talking about healthy people.
More specific:
- 60-70% of our weight is water;
- 8-10 glasses of water (a total of 2-2.5 liters) are considered the minimum necessary daily amount for healthy people;
- obese people have less water in their body than thin ones, and the goal for them is determined in 12 (or more) glasses - naturally, evenly distributed throughout the day;
- pregnant women are recommended to drink 2.4 liters (about 10 cups), and breastfeeding - 3 liters (about 12.5 cups) of liquid per day.
How much water per day should I drink sports?
Small in duration sessions require the trainee to drink a day 1-2 extra glasses of water. If the training lasts more than one hour (for example, running), water will be needed more. How much more depends on how much the person sweats heavily. However, it is believed that drinking about 2-3 glasses of water every hour during the day - quite enough (provided not very hot weather). Note that in sports people any unloading day (including water) should fall on a day, free from training.

In other words, any substance, regardless of where it is contained (in meat, fruits or vegetables) can become poisonous - if it is used excessively. Thus, an inordinate amount of water drunk by a person a day is quite capable of leading to a clinical picture of water poisoning.
Unloading day on the water is better to arrange in the warm season, not more than once a week - 2 days in a row to keep your body on the same water is not worth it.
