Drink enough water in a day! How much water do you need in a day now? And does a cup of tea or coffee count as water? Does this also apply to a glass of soft drink? Isn't that also moisture? Time to make all fables a fact. Read in today's blog how much water (or more accurately, moisture) you need and why. Feel free to grab a glass of water.

Water from your floor standing water cooler Brisbane and our body

You cannot live without water. Who does not drink water (for about 3 to 5 days), will not survive after the fifth day. Or you are lucky and live a day longer. You need water most of all other nutrients such as carbohydrates and fat. This is because our body is 50% water. The body of a young adult (75 kg) even consists of 60% water. That's 4.5 buckets in a row with a total of 45 liters of water! This percentage decreases as you get older. Depending on your age, gender and physical fitness, the physical moisture percentage varies from person to person.

Your body uses water as a building material, means of transport and solvent (helps to absorb nutrients). In addition, water keeps your body at the right temperature and is used as a "lubricant" during muscle contraction. This way you can just pull that one sprint to the bus, without the cramp in your calf. When you drink (too) little water, your body will let you know by a warning (stimulus): thirst.

Moisture loss

Every day your body loses fluid in 4 different ways (H2O, water):

urine (1500 ml)
stool (100 ml)
exhalation (400 ml)
sweat (500 ml)

A total of 2500 ml of moisture is lost. You lose one more fluid earlier when you:

• intensive sports (1 to 2 liters of fluid per hour)
• often drink alcohol (diuretic effect)
• being outside a lot during hot days (you sweat more)
• are sick (with diarrhea and vomiting you lose a lot of fluid)
• diet contains a lot of salt and protein (your body needs more fluid to get rid of all that salt and the breakdown products of protein)

Sources of moisture

Your body takes in moisture in 3 ways:

• by drinking (depending on how much you drink)
• by eating (900 ml)
• oxidation water (350 ml)

Oxidation water is moisture that is released during the burning of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Burning simply means: converting nutrients into new energy for your body.

To balance your body's water balance, you need more than 2.5 liters of fluid per day. The Nutrition Center advises an adult woman and man to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of fluid per day.

Fact or fable?

That you have to drink 2 liters of water a day is partly a fable and partly a fact. Your body needs 2 liters of fluid daily. You get this through food and oxidation water. But also by regularly drinking something. Drinking 2 liters of water a day is not necessary. Other drinks that help you balance the water balance include:

• green and black tea (without milk & sugar)
• coffee (limited due to caffeine, without milk & sugar)
• milk

I do not recommend juices and soft drinks as a "thirst quencher". In addition to moisture, they contain a lot of sugar (carbohydrates) and are bad for the enamel on your teeth. A glass of cola (light) or orange juice once a day or every few days does not hurt.
