Water Balance

About 60-70% of the human body consists of water. This is why it is very important to monitor your water balance. Only then will the body be able to function normally, and we will be able to avoid an illness and the risk of many disorders in the functioning of the key organs and systems.

The Water balance will allow you to control the required level of the water balance for your body. In case of the normal amount of water in your body, your immune system can effectively fight any disease.

The water balance determines the difference between the water that enters and produced by the body during certain metabolic processes and the water excreted from the body through the sweat, urine, and exhaled air. To maintain good health, you should get as much water as you lose.

What is the risk of a negative water balance in the body?

A negative water balance in the body, that is, dehydration, is very dangerous for health, since it exert effect on a deterioration of the functioning of all organs and systems. Symptoms of dehydration usually emerge in case of a loss of more than 2 percent of the body water and they include:

• Hunger;

• Headache;

• Problems with memory and concentration;

• Fatigue;

• Drowsiness;

• Dry mouth;

• Subfebrile condition.

The above-mentioned symptoms only refer to a slight loss of the water in the body. If we do not replenish our fluid levels, we are susceptible to vertigo, muscle pain and the conditions, muscle tremors and loss of consciousness, excessive blood thickening and low arterial blood pressure.

Mild dehydration also leads to chronic digestive problems, poor physical fitness, deterioration of performance at work and studying, as well as recurrent urinary tract infections and emergence of kidney stones. The program has a complex algorithm for calculating the norm of water in the human body; it takes into account the norms for water saturation based on the age, health condition, deviations from the functional norm of organs and systems, the level of load of the body and many other factors.

In the report, you can see recommendations for water intake per day. The digit on a glass indicates the number of liters of liquid, which is recommended to drink every day.

Below, there is a schematic image of a person, which displayes the percentage of water in the body and the same value in liters.

The following indicators are considered a norm for different human ages:

Age (years)

1-5

6-18

19-27

28-50

61-110

​A deviation from the norm in favour of the lesser values means a shortage of the water in the body.

A deviation from the norm in favour of the larger values means an excess of the water in the body, which also negatively effects a functioning of organs and systems.

A report on organs contains indicators for each organ.

The digit opposite the organ indicates the amount of the water in the organ.

This report is formed according to the principle of mathematical modelling based on the tests of the state of health of the organs and systems of the body, with the possibility of individual selection of the daily rate of water and water balance indicator in the body.
