The importance of water
It contains neither proteins, nor carbohydrates nor lipids, so it is not a food. And yet, it is an indispensable nutrient for all our vital processes. It makes up 60 to 70% of our body weight, and we lose more than 2 liters (or 2 kilos) per day, only in order to ensure our basic metabolism.
The food that we eat, especially fruits and vegetables, takes care of 1/5 of all our needs. The remaining 4/5 must therefore be directly drunk in the form of liquid. As a general rule, we are advised to drink at least 8 glasses of liquid a day. So let’s get into the habit of drinking water throughout the day, and let’s not forget to make up for water lost during any physical activity. Cheers!
