How much water should you drink every day?

The human body needs to consume a lot of water every day because the body lacks water. Everyone has different living habits, so the amount of water they drink is also different. Some people like to drink water and feel comfortable drinking warm water regularly. But some people don’t like water because it has no taste. So people’s drinking habits vary and the amount of water they drink also varies. So how much water is appropriate to drink every day?

How much water should you drink normally?

At 25 degrees Celsius, air humidity ≤ 60%, and in a quiet state without any exercise, the daily water intake for people is: 1 liter for children; 2.9 liters for adult men; 2.2 liters for adult women, 4.8 liters for pregnant women, and 3.3 liters for breastfeeding women. In high temperature or heavy physical labor conditions, the drinking water standards for different groups should be raised to 4.5 liters per day.

In addition to drinking water in moderation, the way you drink water also determines whether water is a nutrient or a poison.

Many people often remember to drink water only when they feel thirsty. They pick up the water and gulp it down. However, they do not know that normal people should drink water at regular times and should not wait until they are thirsty to drink. Experts recommend that the correct way to drink water should be the 3:3:3 drinking method, that is, drink 3 cups a day, divided into 3 times, and each time drink for 3 minutes.

In addition, pay attention to drinking fresh boiled water, which is not only sterile but also contains more than a dozen minerals needed by the human body; try to drink warm boiled water, especially in summer, as warm boiled water is beneficial for dissipating heat and maintaining gastrointestinal motility1.

Scientific drinking water schedule

After getting up at 7:00 in the morning, drink a glass of warm water first, then start to get dressed, fold the quilt and wash up. This can allow the stomach and intestines that have been sleeping all night to quickly get into working order, which is helpful for excreting waste from the body.

8:00 In addition to the staple food, breakfast must include liquid food, whether it is milk, soy milk, juice or porridge, which can allow the body to fully absorb water and nutrients.

10:00 A glass of mineral water or tea is a must at this time. If your skin is dry, you can gently pat moisturizing lotion on your face or use facial spray directly to hydrate your skin.

12:00 If you have eaten spicy food for lunch, you must drink some soup or porridge to dilute the irritation to the stomach and intestines. Drink plenty of water after meals to avoid dry and itchy skin caused by internal heat.

15:00 It is easy to feel tired in the afternoon, so eating some fruit can boost your energy. Fruits rich in vitamin C can not only relieve fatigue, but also replenish water and nourish the skin.

19:00 After returning home at night, replenishing water is an important task of the day. Drink a bottle of mineral water first when you get home. Have soup or porridge for dinner, eat some fruit after the meal, and drink some tea while watching TV. If you have the energy, you can stew some tonic soup to drink.

It is best not to drink water one hour before going to bed at 21:00 at night. Wash your face with warm water, then apply a moisturizing and nourishing night cream, and gently massage the face, hands, feet and other prone to dryness for 10 minutes to allow moisture and nutrients to penetrate deep into the skin.
