Man consists to a large extent of water. The exact amount of water in the body depends on a number of factors, including gender, age, body mass and body fat percentage. The more fatty tissue a person's body contains, the lower its water content. Due to their low content of body fat and bone mass, infants account for more than 70 percent of water. In a young adult man, the proportion of water is still about 60 percent compared to only 50 percent in a young woman, since the female body typically has more body fat and less muscle mass than the male. In later years, the proportion of water in both sexes drops below 50 percent, so that older people are more likely to be dehydrated.
For this reason, it is all the more important that in addition to a healthy diet and sufficient exercise also the topic of water is given great attention.
But it is not enough that you drink enough. Also the quality of the water should be considered.
How much should you drink per day?
On average, the human body loses about 2.5 liters of water per day through sweating and excretion. This amount of water should be returned to the body daily. As a rule of thumb, the body needs at least 30 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day.
In order for the body to be able to absorb and process the water optimally, one should not just drink 1 liter of water 1-2 times a day, but ideally spread it throughout the day. It would be ideal if you take a glass of water every half hour. Those who have a stable job can do this best by putting a glass carafe (no plastic so the water can not absorb nano-plastic particles) in the morning and drinking again and again. Of course, if you want, you can energize the water even further and, for example, put it on a coaster with a symbol like the flower of life or energize it with healing stones.

By the way:
All foods also contain water. For example, fruit and vegetables consist of 66% to 96% of water, meat (beef) contains 76% water, potatoes to 77.8% water. Other foods also contain water in large quantities.
Water is not only drunk, but also "eaten".

"Anyone who is ill is dehydrated, acidified and has a lack of electrons or a bad redox value, and basic water can correct these factors."
