Drink water more healthily

 

My home's health tip is drinking water.

And I make sure to get some sunlight at least once a day (to supplement vitamin D).

 

My house drinks water frequently.

The older child starts the day by drinking a glass of lukewarm water as soon as they open their eyes.

 

 

It protects the surface with lukewarm purified water rather than the water in the refrigerator.

 

 

 

 

I'm having a drink even as I write this.

 

 

 

Drink water more healthily 💦

 

How many glasses of water do you drink a day?

 

 

 

1. About 60-70% of our body is water!

 

The amount of moisture varies depending on gender, age, and weight: infants have about 70% relative to their body weight, adult males about 60%, and women and the elderly approximately 50%.

 

Since more than half of our body is water, it is important to drink enough water!

 

​

 

How much water do you drink in a day?

 

According to the Korean Nutrition Society, the proportion of people drinking enough water daily is generally decreasing!

 

2016: 44.8%, 2017: 42.1%, 2018: 39.6%

 

​

 

What does it mean to drink enough water?

 

The adequate intake refers to the total amount of fluids that should be consumed daily through food and water, with adults drinking 4 to 5 cups (1000ml) and elderly individuals drinking 3 cups (600ml) per day.

 

Excessive fluid intake can have negative effects if you have conditions such as cirrhosis, kidney failure, or heart failure.

 

Please try adjusting your medication after consulting with your doctor.

 

​

 

Does coffee or green tea count as water intake?

 

Beverages that can be drunk:

 

Barley tea, brown rice tea, herbal tea => Help replenish body fluids

 

A beverage that cannot be drunk instead of water

 

Green tea, black tea, coffee => Caution with caffeine

 

Corn silk tea, cassia seed tea, and houttuynia cordata tea => induce diuretic effects

 

​

 

How should I drink water?

 

1) Please drink a little at a time multiple times!

 

2) Consider age, gender, and illness!

 

Drink lukewarm water!

 

Drink pure water!
