What will happen if you drink 3–4 liters of water a day

Drinking water is key to human health: it supports kidney function, helps to avoid infections of the urinary system, promotes the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and prevents dehydration. However, even such a common recommendation as eight glasses a day, raises the question: is it really enough and can you drink more?

British therapist Dr. Tony Finch believes that under normal conditions a person usually has two liters of water a day. In the heat or during intense physical activity, the need for fluid increases. At the same time, as the doctor notes, it is not necessary to get carried away with excessive water intake, especially for people with cardiovascular disease or kidney problems. For example, four liters of fluid can harm such patients daily and worsen their condition.

The expert advises to distribute fluid intake evenly throughout the day, drink water during and between meals. It is not recommended to drink a lot before bedtime, as it can affect the quality of sleep. Water, according to the expert, may be present in other drinks such as tea or coffee, but alcohol is not taken into account in the daily norm.

Finch also emphasizes that excessive consumption of sugar -containing drinks is risks, so you should avoid sweet juices, concentrates and energy. If someone does not like the taste of ordinary water, you can add a slice of lemon to it or choose sparkling water.

Summarizing, the doctor advises not only to focus on universal advice, but also to take into account the body's own needs, health and lifestyle.
