How much water should you drink per day?

During daily breathing, urinating, and intestinal movements, our body loses water. For the purpose of working of the body properly, water lost in the body is necessary to fill through drinking and water-containing foods. Doctors mainly recommend that healthy people, who live in a moderate climate, drink water about 8 or 9 glasses in a day. You can find calculating the quantity of the water, which is necessary to drink in a day in the following manner:

Substitution relationship

Quantity of the urine, which is excreted by people in a day, is 1,5 liter (about 6,3 glasses) on average.  At least 1 liter of water (about 4 glasses) is lost in a day during the course of breathing, sweating and movement of intestines. The taken food provides around 20 per cent of the body's water requirements. Therefore, if it is taken 3 liter (more than 8 glasses) water or other drinks in a day together with daily normal feeding, the body's need for water will be provided.

8 glasses of water per day

Another approach is to drink 8 glasses of water per day. 200-250 ml water glass and 8 glasses of water in a day is around 1.6 - 2 liter. Although drinking of 8 glasses of water in a day was scientifically proven, it can be easily followed by many people.

Diet-related suggestions

The Institute of Medicine recommends that men around 3 liters (around 13 glasses), women 2.2 liters (around 9 glasses) per day drink water. In the light of those mentioned above, if water is sufficiently drunk and lack of water is rarely felt, as well as if urine is secreted in 1.5 liters (about 6.3 glasses) or more colorless or light yellow per day; then organism is provided with water completely. If a person hesitates in the quantity of water drunk, that person is necessary to consult a physician or diet specialist.
