These functions are essential for our survival so we must compensate for the loss of fluid. Maintaining balance is important in order to avoid dehydration or to avoid water overdose in the body. Dehydration causes a loss of mood, a dry skin and high blood pressure. An unheated brain needs more sforco to function. Specialists so far have said we should consume eight glasses of water a day. But recent studies show that this amount depends on our body weight and the environment in which we live. The amount we need to consume is 2.5 - 3.7 liters per day for males and 2- 2.7 liters for females.
