Water is a medium for absorbing and transporting nutrients, and is also a carrier for excreting waste. People complete the metabolic process through the circulation of water in the body. In this process, water also plays the role of dissipating heat from the human body, regulating body temperature, lubricating joints and internal organs, etc. It is vital to human life. If water loss reaches 10% to 20%, it will be life-threatening. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that water is the source of life.

The amount of water a normal person consumes from food and water every day is about 2500 ml per day for adults. The amount of water consumed should generally be balanced with the amount of water excreted by the body every day. For example, the average daily urine volume for an adult is about 1500 ml, the skin and respiratory tract excretion is about 800 ml, and the feces is 100 to 200 ml, totaling about 2500 ml.

Therefore, in addition to eating, a normal person needs to drink about 1500 ml of water every day, about 6 to 8 glasses of water to meet the needs of human metabolism.

Since water is so important to human beings, the quality of water people consume every day is a vital issue, which is directly related to human health. There are a large number of records from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad. Whether it is the "longevity village" or local diseases occurring in some areas, the causes are all related to the local drinking water. Good water brings health, while polluted water brings disease. Therefore, drinking healthy water that is not only harmless but also beneficial to human health is an urgent need for people today.

So we still have to listen to the professionals and drink more water every day. Drinking more water can prevent some diseases, and drinking more water every day can also help us lose weight. Don’t disbelieve it. Besides, we exercise every day, and we will definitely lose more water during exercise. If we replenish more water, it can make the body healthier. So pick up our small water cup and drink water together.
