A member asked:
My water content is 30% which is very low how to increase it 2 litre of water every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water content of bo: If you have normal kidneys and heart, the kidneys will regulate the amounts of sodium and potassium in your blood. If you are dehydrated you can drink water. You don't state your weight. If you weigh 154 pounds or 70 kgs your maintenance fluids would be 1900 ml/24 HR or about 76 ml/HR. If you drink more water than that, you will just pee out the excess, not retain it!
