The nutritionist told about the optimal amount of water intake per day

Endocrinologist and nutritionist Anton Polyakov told us how much water you should drink per day.

In conversation with aif.ru On Friday, March 6, the specialist noted that clean water plays an important role for the body. According to him, it is recommended to drink about 1.5–2 liters of water per day in the cold season, and 2-3 liters in the heat, but the exact amount depends on physical activity, temperature and moisture loss.

He added that there are formulas that suggest calculating fluid intake at the rate of 30 ml per kilogram of weight, but they take into account not only water, but all liquids, including soups and moisture in foods. Therefore, there is no universal formula for pure water — there is only a recommended range.

The doctor also explained that people with severe renal impairment are sometimes advised to limit their water intake to 1 liter per day, but drinking less than this amount is not recommended. According to him, it is better to consume water in small portions — about 150-200 ml, in small sips, rather than trying to drink a large volume at once, writes NSN.
