A person can survive up to 45 days without food, but from 2 to 10 days without water. Without exaggeration, water is the source of life and health. Violation of the water balance directly affects a person's physical and mental state, his ability to recover and live a healthy and happy life. With a violation of the water balance, a person of any age may experience such symptoms as: — headache; — problems with digestion (constipation); — dizziness, convulsions; — dry skin; — chronic fatigue, etc. In children, when the water balance is disturbed, fatigue, cough, dry nose and headaches may appear. It is the duty of parents to monitor the consumption of a sufficient amount of water in the child's body, a few basic rules will be useful to you: — show an example, drink enough liquid yourself — drinking water must be available in the house at any time — refuse or minimize the use of compotes, sweet drinks and juices. Replace with drinking water — if the child is sick, increase the amount of liquid, at least twice. In case of illness, liquid is medicine — buy beautiful water bottles for babies, make sure they are refilled in time. Bless you! Have a question?
