How Much Water Should I Drink in a Day?
In general, the human body needs about 2,500cc to 3,000cc of water per day, and the normal amount of perspiration per day is about 300c.c. If there is the strenuous activity or hot weather, perspiration, the amount can be as high as 2,000cc, which may require 5,000cc to 6,000cc of water.
Do drinks and coffee count as water?
The recommended intake of water refers to the "total amount of water". The sources of water in our lives are very diverse, from drinking water, coffee, milk, soup and other liquids that contain water. These should be included in the water intake plan throughout the day, so water sources can be divided into liquid water and food water. However, the types of food in each country are very different. The water provided by food in European countries is about 20-30%, and then in Iran is about 33%. If it is a Chinese diet, plus soup, it can reach 40%.
As body weight increases, the amount of water required increases. There is a simple formula to calculate the water required by the human body. After deducting the water contained in food, the water needed by the human body can be estimated by body weight (kg) X 30c.c. For example, a person weighing 60 kilograms needs to drink about 1,800cc of water per day. Depending on the amount of sweat expelled from work and exercise, the intake of water can be increased appropriately.
*Small tips : cc and ml are not the same things, cc means cubic centimeter, which is a unit of volume; ml means milliliter, which is a unit of volume. The two are equal in value, but the meaning is quite different.
