Question

Most adults consume and excrete about ________ quarts of water per day. Adults are advised to consume ______ to ______ mL of water from all sources for each calorie expended. A person who needs 2,400 calories per day will require ________ mL of water per day.

Answer 1

Answer: Most adults consume and excrete about 1.5 to 3 quarts of water per day. Adults are advised to consume 1 to 1.5 mL of water from all sources for each calorie expended. A person who needs 2,400 calories per day will require 2400 to 3600 mL of water per day.

Explanation: To balance the water intake with the calories consumed every day, it is necessary to drink 1 to 1.5 mL of water for every calorie taken in, in order to cease the calorie from accumulating as fat. Generally, adults drink between 1.5 and 3 quarts of water and excrete proportionally every day.

This can be considered to be a healthy habit as long as the calorie intake does not exceed its proportionate limit. It is necessary to strike a balance between water intake and calorie intake so as to maintain a healthy metabolism.
