Detailed explanation-1: -The Eatwell Guide says we should drink 6 to 8 cups or glasses of fluid a day. Water, lower-fat milk and sugar-free drinks, including tea and coffee, all count.
Detailed explanation-2: -The body constantly loses water throughout the day, mostly through urine and sweat but also from regular body functions like breathing. To prevent dehydration, you need to get plenty of water from drink and food every day.
Detailed explanation-3: -Women should have about 2 litres (8 cups) of fluids a day, and men about 2.6 litres (10 cups). Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need more fluid each day than other women. Dehydration can happen when the body’s fluids are low. It can be life threatening, especially to babies, children and the elderly.
