Water Balance 101 ๐
- Did you know? On a typical day, even though there's a whirling 2.5 liters of water zooming around in our bodies, our weight remains pretty stable. No massive gains or losses. Cool, right?
- How? Even if you're just chilling on your couch (aka non-exercising), about 2.5 liters of water gets replaced through:
- Munching on food ๐
- Chugging fluids ๐ฅค
- And a fancy process called "oxidation of substrates" which produces metabolic water. Think of it as our body's internal water factory!

- Sometimes, our body's water balance is like a teeter-totter that's off-kilter. If we're losing more water than we're taking in:
- Thirst Alert! Your brain's control center, the hypothalamus, senses it and you'll suddenly feel like you've been trekking in a desert. ๐ต
- Water-saving mode: A hormone named ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) steps in. Imagine ADH as a superhero that tells your kidneys, "Hey, hold on to that water!" This means less pee-pee time and more water staying in your body.
