10. Water forms good source of macro minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, Fluoride, Iron and Iodine.
Requirements of water vary with climate, dietary constituents, activities and surface area of the body. As a rule a person should take enough water to excrete about 1200 –1500 ml of urine per day. In tropics because of greater water loss through perspiration increased water intake is required to maintain urine volume. Normal intake of water ranges between 8 – 10 glasses per day.
In tropical countries like India the daily water input amounts to 2400 – 3000 ml of water through food, as fluid drinks and as metabolic water.
1. As fluid drinks – water, tea, coffee, milk soups 1500 - 1750 ml
2. Water intake through solid food 600 - 900 ml
3. Oxidation of carbohydrate, fat, 300 - 350 ml proteins (metabolic water)
Total 2400 – 3000 ml
22.2.2 Daily output of water
1. Urine 1200 – 1500 ml à (kidney)
2. Perspiration 700 – 900 ml à (Skin)
3. Respiration 400 ml à (lung)
4. Faeces 100 – 200 ml à (intestine)
Total 2400 – 3000 ml
Therefore the water intake and output is fairly kept constant. This is called water balance. The average adult metabolises 2.5 – 3.00 litres of water and a constant balance is maintained between intake and output. Inadequate water intake disturbs water equilibrium resulting in decreased urinary output, thereby causing changes in Extra Cellular Fluid (ECF) and Intra Cellular Fluid (ICF). The water equilibrium is maintained by kidneys, lungs, intestine and pituitary gland. The water balance coordinates with both electrolyte and acid base balance.
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION
Causes :
When water is constantly lost from the body as in severe vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive sweating or excessive urine formation due to treatment with diuretics, the total water content of the body is reduced. Extra cellular and intra cellular fluid decreases leading to dehydration.
Effects of dehydration
1. Tongue is dry.
2. Pinch test is done by raising and releasing the skin. Slow return of skin to original position indicates decreased ECF.
