Doctor Chekhonin: the amount of fluid is calculated per kilogram of body weight

Conclusions of American scientists To maintain health, you should drink two liters of water every day, they sound convincing, said nutritionist Yulia Chekhonina in a conversation with Channel Five. She explained that it is important to consume two liters – not just water, but liquid in general, thereby refuting the well-established myth.

The specialist noted that liquid is present in many food products. “We also get water in food – up to 800 milliliters. Another 400 milliliters is formed in our body – this is an endogenous fluid, “Chekhonina said.

If a person is struggling with excess weight, you should not increase the volume of fluid by extra pounds, the doctor added. >
