So, how much water is appropriate for normal people to drink every day? Scientific research has found that, generally speaking, the water loss of human body from urine, sweating or skin evaporation is about 1800-2000cc every day, so people have been saying for many years that healthy adults need to supplement about 2000cc of water every day. But this 2000cc water is not necessarily obtained by drinking water, and the moisture in food should be counted together, which is the correct health care method.
In fact, the food we eat every day contains a lot of water. For example, most vegetables and fruits contain more than 90% water, while eggs and fish also contain about 75% water. Roughly speaking, when we eat a meal, we can get at least 300-400cc of water from food or soup. Therefore, after deducting 1000- 1200cc of water for three meals, we only need to drink 1000- 1200cc of boiled water every day, with an average of 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups in the afternoon, which is enough. But we should also know that water demand must depend on everyone's environment (temperature, humidity), exercise, health and food intake, and there is no definite standard value. Experts believe that the general principle of drinking water is: not less than 500cc per day, but not more than 3000cc. People who need to drink more water, such as patients with gout and kidney calculi, should follow the doctor's advice.
