Most of the time, water content in your body is moving freely across membranes, though there are exceptions to this rule. It"s re(cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)e(cid:374)ded that (cid:449)e i(cid:374)take (cid:1006). (cid:1006)l/day i(cid:374) order to compensate for the 2. 5l/day output of water. These are averages, not everybody excretes this amount of water it varies from person to person. As an individual, we need to make sure that water intake balances water output. If you do(cid:374)"t (cid:271)ala(cid:374)(cid:272)e water intake, it is the kidney that has to balance it for you. Two kidneys on either side of abdomen, basically one big filtration system.
