Question

People are advised to drink two litres of water daily as it is important for many life activities. In winter, people reduce the intake of water. Explain the reason for this.

Answer 1

The rate of sweating and thus water loss from the body is very low during winter. Therefore, we require less intake of water during winter. In summer, water loss due to sweating is very frequent and therefore people are advised to drink more and more water to compensate the water loss.
