According to the World Health Organization (OMS), water is the essential fluid for the human body, at any stage of life. This is because proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, thus keeping the skin hydrated and elastic. In addition, it lubricates the joints and organs and helps maintain good digestion.
The Mexican Ministry of Health reports that one of the adverse consequences of inadequate water intake is dehydration. Its symptoms depend on the degree of water deficiency worse, in general, they present weakness and fatigue, headache, dizziness, dry mouth and lack of appetite.
The body loses water through sweating, breathing, urine, and feces.
In moderately active or sedentary people and under normal temperature conditions, the body loses water through feces, urine, respiration, and sweating. When physical activity is increased and under different temperature conditions, sweat contributes to the loss of body water.
That is why it is advisable to consume 2 to 3 liters of water a day. Although it is true that the needs may vary according to age, sex, diet and type of physical activity.
To carry out a correct hydration it is advisable to drink 2 liters of water daily
The water necessary to cover the daily requirements comes from the food and drinks that are ingested, in addition to that which is produced by metabolism. For all of the above, it is important that every day we consider drinking a minimum of 2 liters of water as part of our habits.
The importance of water and its functions on the planet is crucial for the life of all living beings that inhabit it. This natural resource allows the correct functioning of the biological processes of ecosystems and, in turn, guarantees the survival of all animal and plant species that inhabit our planet.
As we have already indicated, water is essential for the development of organic processes such as digestion, as well as absorption and elimination of waste. It also structures the circulatory system and distributes nutrients throughout the body through the blood.
