A daily intake of 1-2 liters of water is required for the normal physiological functioning of the body, depending on the ambient weather conditions. The absolute minimum over the long term is about 1.6 liters (600 ml for urine, 200 ml for fecal losses, and 800 ml for losses via the skin and lungs). This includes water contained in food (i.e. it is not necessary to drink 1-2 liters of water a day).\n\nFor those who ask about a glass : a liter is 5 normal drinking glasses as each is 200 cubic cl

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for iron is 10 milligrams for adult males and postmenopausal females. Males (ages 11 to 18) need 12 milligrams of iron per day. Females (ages 11 to 50 years) need 15 milligrams.\n\nThe best food source of iron is liver and red meats. These foods contain heme iron, which is better absorbed than non-heme iron. Non-heme iron can be found in dark green, leafy vegetables (spinach, chard and kale) and whole cereal grains (bran and whole wheat bread). However, oxalates and phytates found in dark green leafy vegetables and whole cereal grains decreases the absorption of iron because they bind with iron in the gastrointestinal tract.\n\nIf you choose not to eat meat, I would suggest you include dark green, leafy vegetables and whole cereal grains in your daily diet. You should also look at iron fortified cereals to supplement iron in your diet. Also, if you were a menstruating woman, I would suggest you contact your doctor about an annual blood work. You may not develop anemia on a meat-free diet, but your iron stores may be low.

Thank God someone's asked instead of blindly following the newest fad diet in the media!\n\nAn adult human being should get between 2000 and 2500 calories per day, with females sticking closer to the low side of this range and males sticking closer to the high side of it, and the food they eat should break down this way:\n\nFats-- A female should consume no more than 60 grams of fat per day, a male no more than 65.\n\nProtein-- This one can get a bit complex to figure out since the actual formula is to take your body weight in kilograms, multiply by 0.8, and convert that number into grams in order to determine how much protein you need to consume a day, then figure out how many grams of protein are in the food you eat... but since there are seven grams in each ounce of meat you eat no matter which meat it really is, and there are 28 grams to an ounce, I'm going to simplify the math.\n\nMultiply your optimum body weight (in other words, how much you should weigh it you're not overweight), by 1.45 to find out how many grams of meat you should eat.  Divide by 28 to convert into ounces.\n\nFor instance, considering my body weight should be 180 pounds, I would multiply that by 1.45, and get 261 grams.  If I divide by 28, I end up with 9.3 ounces of meat per day, which is absolutely right for someone my size.\n\nNot only do I not need any more protein than that, my body really can't use any more than that (and that holds true for everyone else, as well).\n\nGenerally speaking, if you consume between eight and twelve ounces of meat per day, though, you've got all the protein your body is ever going to use... and make sure to break that into smaller portions, because your body can't really absorb more than 20 or so grams of protein at any time.  It's very hard to digest and use... and no, contrary to the opinion of the "lo-carb" people, protein isn't the best fuel for your body, it's the WORST.  Your body CANNOT digest and use large amounts of protein, and it cannot burn it for energy under any circumstances, which is why the lo-carb diet works.  It's tricking you into eating a lot of things your body simply can't use so you don't know you're actually slowly starving to death.\n\nCarbohydrates:  An adult human should consume a minimum of 300 grams of carbohydrates per day.  Notice, 65 grams of fat, about 60 or so grams of protein, 300 grams of carbohydrates.  That means the vast majority of what you eat should have carbohydrates in it (grains, vegetables, and fruits).  Your body needs carbohydrates to burn for energy because that's what it was designed to burn, and it needs the sugar produced by them to feed your brain (it cannot consume any other fuel whatsoever), and it needs the fiber which comes in those foods to keep both your bloodstream and your digestive system scrubbed clean and running smoothly.\n\nAgain, contrary to the "lo-carb" diet people, your body cannot, it cannot, it CANNOT convert carbohydrates to fat.  NOT EVER.  It converts a bit of it to glycogen and a bit to triglycerides stored in the liver, and that's it.  None of your carbs go to your love handles, your belly, your butt, etc.  Not a single calorie of it.\n\n\nHow does this work out calorically?\n\nWell, protein and carbohydrates both have four calories per gram.  Fat has nine.  If I sat down and multiplied out the amounts I gave you, I would discover I should get the following calorie spread:\n\nFat:  585 calories\nProtein:  261 calories\nCarbohydrates:  1200 calories.\n\nThat means I should get a total of 2046 calories, and that just over 1/4 of them should come from fat... which is exactly what a doctor would tell me I should eat.  Since I can eat up to 2500 calories a day, but that I cannot eat any more fat than I already have taken into account, I can consume a bit more protein and carbohydrates just in case I want an extra snack or something... and my dietary calories stay pe

Im not a nutrition expert, but i learned in school enough to know that : \n\nWithout the intake of the right nutrients, like Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats(good fats - omega 3 etc), Vitamins.\n\nThe persons body is not developed enough to have an immune system, therefore being succeptible(cant spell) to disease.\n\nHaving a balanced diet is very important. Being educated enough to know that iron is best absorbed into the body with vitamin c ( so if eating meat, dark green veg, a glass of orange juice is good ) \nThe same way calcium is absorbed into the body by eating vitamin d.\nPlenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, iron. Exercise.\nThese are the key to a healthy immune system.

Minerals, mainly calcium.  \n\nFrom a website:\nMinerals from food intake (eg, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) are transported from the digestive system via the blood and absorbed (taken up) by the bones. The rate at which they are absorbed is regulated by hormones (estrogens).\n \nWhen there is already a lack of hormones in the body, these minerals "leak out" of the cells back into the bloodstream. The result is that the bone may start to become porous (full of holes), and waste away.\n\n Women with lowered estrogen levels may have an increased risk of developing Osteoporosis. This may occur as the result of a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) where the ovaries have also been removed, or as part of the normal aging process.\n\nThe disease can also develop as a result of disorders where there is excess production of adrenal or thyroid hormones.

Us Women need to take calcium and Vit D supplements for the rest of our lives!  Women are prone to lose more calcium than men, because of the loss of blood (containing calcium) in menstruation each month. \n\nA woman also loses much calcium with each pregnancy. A pregnant mother loses 4 times as much calcium to her baby, as she would in nine menstrual cycles. (Women, get your calcium!)\n\nWhen your body loses this much calcium, your bones become porous and brittle. They are not as strong, and can break under very little pressure. Then it causes a disease called OSTEOPOROSIS. \n\nPatients most often don't even know they have osteoporosis until the condition is serious. Warning signs of osteoporosis include, backache, back muscle spasms, thigh bones aching, difficulty in twisting and bending.\n\nAlso, we need Vit D . Remember that vitamin D stimulates the production of calcium binding proteins in the digestive tract. We need Vit D to be able to absorb calcium in our system.
