Water needs in normal people under conditions of rest as much as two liters of water or eight glasses per day. This is triggered by the average expenditure of adult urine is about 1.5 liters per day. Water is also out through breathing, perspiration, and bowel movements. As for food only accounts for 20 percent of the total amount needed for the body. So when taking two liters of water or other drinks about eight glasses a day, then the lost fluids will be replaced.
On average, each person owns 60 percent of your weight. All systems in the body depends on water. For example, the water will flush toxins in vital organs, carries nutrients to body cells, tissues and produce moisture for ear, nose, and throat. Lack of water in the body can cause less fluid or in conditions more severe dehydration, which is the situation arising due to lack of water so that the body organs do not function normally.
Thirst is one symptom of the body needs water. Other symptoms are more severe if the body suffers from lack of water intake will thicken blood so that excessive tiredness, lethargy, and often sleepy. This is because the fluid in the blood siphoned to other needs in the body.
If the blood thickens, it will affect the performance of the brain and heart. "Do not underestimate the intake of water that enters the body. It is important for water intake was met. If not, can cause interference with the functioning of the body are increasingly getting worse," said the doctor from RSCM Rev. Dr. Anggoro.
Factors affecting water consumption levels in the body, according to Revelation, depend on one's state of health and disease. Signs of disease such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea can cause dehydration of the body. If there is, it must immediately drink more water because it can replace the electrolyte out of the body.
"Infection of the bladder and urinary tract stones, also require more fluid. Other conditions such as heart failure and some types of kidney disease, liver or adrenal disease also may impair excretion of water in the body," said Wahyu.
Revelation describes the best way to know that we have drunk in sufficient quantities is if rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless urine every day. Conditions that are characteristic of the body has met its water needs. "Factors that influence water demand on a person depends on many factors. From its activity, the level of his health, his condition at the time, and the environment. However, under normal circumstances, we need two liters," he said.
In line with Revelation, a fitness instructor in Jakarta, Sumantri Kurnia, said that water demand on the body of each person is different. However, the more heavy exercise or body movement performed, the more water your body needs. "To the participants for exercise, I recommend to always drink lots of water. Without enough water, in vain fitness or exercise they are doing," says Sumantri.
According to him, people who have heavy activity, the need for water is above normal. For example, during sports, especially sports brief, it takes an additional 1-2 cups of water. When the sport in a longer duration, then the necessary additional amounts. How much additional fluid is needed depends on how much you sweat during exercise. Normally 2-3 glasses in a sport that done for one hour is enough, unless the air is very hot. (Sindo / / tty)
