Hello, my name is Dr. Giancarlo Scruci and today we will be talking about the benefits of water and how much water you should drink to keep you healthy. So stay with me, let's go! Well, if you So the first thing we have to talk about and we have to understand is that all h So there is not really an exact measure but don't go because I'm going to tell you what science is and what recommendation you should at least cons Mainly, the first thing we have to talk about is to know what the purpose of water in our body is. Well, in short, water has four reasons why we have to cons The first is that water helps us to move the waste, either through urination, through perspiration, which is the sweat when we sweat, or through the waste when we excrete. Well, add to this, water also has a function to keep the body temperature either when we are exercising, we are exercising, or when we have, for example, a fever, we perspire to be able to cool our body. The third thing we need to cons And finally, water also helps us to have a protective layer in certain sensitive tissues such as in the lungs, we have a layer that protects the outside of the lungs and this requires that it be hydrated. Of course, if there is water, this becomes a problem in the same way with the layer that covers our heart that when it is filled with water, it can produce it with a disease called heart attack, or cardiac tamponade, as it is known in English. But let's go back. This is a little more advanced. Let's go back to what is reason why we need to cons What happens when a person does not cons Well, this is going to cause a problem that is known as dehydration. When we are dehydrated, as simple as a little bit of dehydration it can make us constantly tired and we do not sit very well. That is why it is very important that you stay hydrated to avoid the simplest symptoms even the most serious symptoms that can be death. A person who is dehydrated can end up dying since this is a serious problem and it is a medical emergency. Well, we want to know exactly how much water I have to cons I just want to remind you that this is a guide and we are going to use the guide from the Mayo Clinic in the United States that tells us that men should cons 7 liters of water a day. And women should cons 7 liters of water a day. If you use a different measure in your country, you can go to Google and write about liters to ounces or liters to gallons. You want to do it, but I want you to know that this is a guide and you are already taking into consideration that there is a 20% of water that you are not cons You are simply cons So if you are only cons Very important, I also like to tell people that cons So it is very important that you try to take the necessary measures and know and use this guide so that you can determine how much water you can take. And if you have a doubt, always remember to ask your head doctor how much water you should cons The other reason why this is important and knowing that not everyone is the same is that all h Since our body is constantly breathing and will be taking out water from the body and we have to hydrate it. So a normal person cons 7 liters and exercising constantly will not give and will end up in a point of dehydration and this will not allow our body to recover properly. In the same way, the environment can affect us. That is, a person who lives in a very hot, very h So this will require that this person cons 7 liters of water to be able to maintain in optimal conditions. In the same way, pregnant women who are lactating will create a situation where they will require more water from the normal. That is, that the 2. 7-liter guide does not apply to women, does not apply to pregnant women or who are lactating. So ask your head doctor how much is the appropriate amount that you should be cons And of course, also people like I commented that they are sick, a person who has diarrhea or who is having a fever will require more water cons In these cases, usually in hospitals or when you are in a consultation with your primary doctor for one of these problems, they will recommend you to add electrolytes to your diet. If you want to know what electrolytes are and how they work in our body, write me here in the comments so I can create a video and explain to you what electrolytes are, how much you should cons So in the same way, if you want to see how I do a good amount of practice for my patients, please click here and watch this video because you will see how I treat my patients, whether for neck pain, low back pain and other health conditions that I usually attend in my clinics. So if you So
