How much water is necessary every day?
Probably everybody learned from different sources that they should consume 8 glasses of water a day or 2 liters of water. In medical terms, the quantities of water you must drink every day depend on your height, weight, temperature, activity level and of course diet. One of the signs of complete hydration is the aspect of urine, which will be light yellow to transparent.We must remember that drinks containing caffeine, like coffee, Coca-Cola, black tea and alcohol don't hydrate the body but act as diuretics. That is why when you consume these drinks you will have to drink more water to equilibrate the diuretic effect. It is very hard to drink too much water; but people with obsessive compulsive behavior or people who play a lot of sport might consume a lot of water and this can lead to dilution of sanguine electrolytes that will affect the muscular, cerebral and cardiac functions.
