Dear Komal,
I don’t like drinking too much water. Do coffee, tea, juice, cold drinks count as part of my liquid intake?
I am 22 years old.
How much liquid should one have in a day?

Ans:

Water is an essential nutrient as it is required in amounts that the body cannot produce itself.

It maintains the health and integrity of every cell in the body, helps eliminate by-products of the body’s metabolism, regulates body temperature, is good for gut health, etc.

For proper metabolism, a normal human body requires about two litres of water.

Excess intake of tea, coffee, etc, will further dehydrate you and leads to an increase in water requirement.

Cold drinks and juices also provide a high carb intake and will lead to metabolic disorders like high blood sugar, cholesterol, increase in triglyceride levels, etc.

Drink at least 10-12 glasses water daily.
