About 60% of your body weight is made up of water. You need it for every function of the body. It removes toxins from your organs, transports nutrients to your cells, absorbs your joints and helps you digest the food you eat.

If you don't have enough water, you can get dehydrated. Severe dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion and even convulsions.

8 glasses of water each day - really?

We all heard that it was better. But the truth is that the amount of water you need varies, depending on your activity and the type of climate you live in, among others. Even if you are not very active or live in a humid climate, you lose water every day by breathing, sweat, pee and stool.

For men, the Institute of Medicine (OIM) recommends a total of 13 cups (approximately 3 liters) of fluid - period - each day. 

For women, they suggest 9 cups (just over 2 liters) of liquid - total - each day. Pregnant women should drink about 10 cups of water a day. Those who are breastfeeding need about 12 cups.

If you are outside on a hot day or doing something that makes you sweat a lot, you will need to drink more fluids to stay hydrated. The same applies if you have an illness that makes you vomit, have diarrhea or have a fever.

But if you have an illness like heart failure or a specific type of kidney disease, you may need to limit your fluid intake. consult to your doctor about what's right for you.

And the children?

Like adults, the amount of water children need depends on many things, such as their age, weight and gender. Other elements that play a role include their state of health and activity and the climate of the place where they live.
