Scientists have established that on average, everyone should drink a litre and half of water periodically throughout the day to maintain a good balance. The European Agency of Health specifically cites on their website that the daily water intake should be at least 1.6 litres for women and 2 litres for men.<\/p> <p>On the other hand, we have a natural urge to drink. But these two cues \u2013 being thirsty and the officially recommended amounts \u2013 can sometimes be contradictory, so what do we do?<\/p> <p>To settle this, the Information Centre of the Pasteur Institute\u2019s Water and Nutrition department has developed an online <em>water balance<\/em> test. The information collected is similar to a daily food diary. By garnering information such as gender, age, height, weight and level of physical activity, the test provides a quantitative assessment based on the user\u2019s real needs. Finally, a clear system to measure the amount of water needed for each individual.<\/p> <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefrance.fr\/15-litre-deau-par-jour-comment-se-reperer\/www.cieau.com\/bilan-hydratation\/%20%20MR\"><strong>www.cieau.com\/bilan-hydratation<\/strong><\/a>\/<\/p>  <p><em>Mathieu Rached<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nutrition department of the Pasteur Institute of Lille, France, has figured out a test to give you the answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","_is_translated":false,"_source_post_url":"","is_displayed_in_hp":false,"displayed_in_hp_after_update":false,"is_thumb_featured":false,"template_without_diapo":"","enable_bloc_resume":false,"bloc_resume_post":[],"ctc_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16904],"tags":[18847,1640705,1636088],"class_list":["post-346611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medical-news-hk","tag-health-2-hk","tag-medical-news-2-hk","tag-water-hk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>1.5 Litres per day: How to track your intake?
