Drinking

What is important for us?

We did not know that we should drink 2-3 litres of liquid per day and even more when doing physical exercise.

Drinking is more important for our body than eating. It is possible to survive a couple of weeks without eating, but only a few days without drinking.

What should you drink?

The best liquids for quenching your thirst are:

Water (mineral and tap water)

Herbal teas, fruit juices

ATTENTION: 1 can of cola (0.3 l) contains 12 lumps of sugar!

Recommended Drinking Amounts for Children and Teenagers:

Attention: When you play sports, you will need much more liquid! Sometimes even twice the amount of the normal quantities!

Age	Recommended amount per day
4-6 years	940 ml
7-9 years	970 ml
10-12 years	1170 ml
13-14 years	1330 ml

Attention: Milk contains many nutrients. Therefore, it should not be considered as a drink, but as a snack!
