The importance of water


Слайд 3Water in the diet

Water is the major component of body fluid

and has many functions in the body:

it acts as a lubricant for joints and eyes;
it is the main component of saliva;
it helps get rid of waste;
it helps regulate body temperature.

The body loses water all the time, when we go to the toilet, from sweat and also evaporation from skin. If we do not consume enough water, we become dehydrated.

Слайд 4Sources of water

Water is provided by food and drinks.

It

has been estimated that roughly 20% of water consumed is from food (e.g. soups, yogurt, fruit and vegetables), while 80% is from drinks (water, milk and fruit juice).

Слайд 5How much water do we need?

The amount of water and other

fluids that we need to drink each day varies from person to person.

European recommendations suggest 1.6L of fluid per day for women (about 8 200ml glasses) and 2L  of fluid per day for men (about 10 200ml glasses), more when the weather is hot or when we are active.

Слайд 6Dehydration

Water is the most abundant constituent of the human body and

regular fluid intake is essential for our bodies to function properly.

Dehydration can impair cognitive, physiological and performance responses.

Symptoms of dehydration include headache and fatigue.

Which population groups may be at risk of dehydration?

Older adults may

have a weaker sense of thirst. If necessary they should be helped and encouraged to drink regularly. 

Children need plenty of fluid and they should be encouraged to drink regularly, especially if they are very active. 
People who are very physically active should drink enough fluid to replace the water loss through sweating.
