How much should you drink every day?clear

Benefits of drinking water:
clear
Water is your body's principal chemical component, making up, on average, 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
How much water do you need?
Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must consume beverages and foods that contain water. You may need to modify how much water you drink, depending on how active you are, the climate you live in or your health condition.
Exercise:If you exercise, practice any sport or are engaged in any activity that makes you sweat, you need to drink extra water to compensate the water you lose. It’s also good to drink some drinks that contain sodium, like Gatorade, Sporade and others.
Environment:Hot or humid weather can make you sweat, so if you live in a hot city ,  or in high altitudes ( more than 2500 meters high) you need to drink more water.
Illnesses:If you have signs of illnesses, like fever, infections or other health problems, you need to drink water or even rehydration solutions.
Follow these advices:
§  Drink water, at least 4 glasses a day, with each meal and between meals.
§  Eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
§  Hydrate before, during and after exercise.

REMEMBER: It´s one of the best drinks, because it’s free of calories, inexpensive and it’s available at any time.
Write ( T ) if the sentence is True and ( F ) if the statement is False
