It is therefore recommended to drink between 1 to 1.5 liters of water per day to compensate for these losses. However, the amount to consume may vary depending on various factors such as age, build, shape, or even the weather. Indeed, do not hesitate to drink more if you are making significant efforts or if it is hot in order to avoid dehydration.

In addition, according to a review of scientific studies carried out in 2013 on people following a diet, increased water consumption would help participants lose extra pounds.
