Every day, a person's body loses water through sweating, breathing, urinary excretion and bowel

movements. In order for the body to function properly, it is necessary to replace these amounts of
water by consuming drinks and foods that contain fluids.

Experts estimate that men should consume about 3 liters of water a day, and women about 2.2 liters of
water a day, so the urge to "drink two liters of water a day" is valid.

"The total amount of salt should not exceed one teaspoon (6g) per day, including salt from bread and
processed, preserved or preserved foods." The recommended dose of salt for children is lower than for
adults. The recommended daily dose of salt for children varies, depending on age, as follows:

1-3 years: 2g salt per day (0.8g sodium)

4-6 years: 3g salt per day (1.2g sodium)

7-10 years: 5g salt per day (2g sodium)

over 11 years: 6g salt per day (2.4g sodium)
