Ideal water percentage of human body
The ideal body water percentage varies. It depends on a lot of factors: gender, age, body composition and daily activity (e.g. the gym). In general, womenahave lower body percentage than men because they have more tissue. Statistically, ideal percentage for adult men will be between 50 and 60% while women about 10% less.

How much?
I mentioned some information about water in the human body and typical balance but what about daily demand? One of the most important is drinking about 250 ml after waking up because it can clean your body from toxins. During the whole day you should drink about 2 liters of water. You have to remember about fresh, raw fruits because they can help you to increase body water percentage. There are many ways to increase your body water percentage.

As you can see, you should read water labels because it is very easy to choose better water with more mineral components.
Questions:
- How many liters of water do you drink every day?
- Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
- Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?

Comments
I have never even looked on labels of water. When I saw your table I couldn't believe my eyes that it is so different. I guess I should start checking labels before buying water. I'm always checking labels on food because of kcal but yea. It was really helpful to see waters compared to each other.
I love unhealthy drinks like Sprite, Coca-cola or some juice but I don't drink it right now. I want to live healthy life so I stick to water and don't even look at sparkling drinks. What about you? Do you drink unhealthy drinks?
This depends on weather and from my activity, can be such that can not to drink water 1-2 days.
2.Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
I didn't. I pay attention to the smell of water, it often smells like a wet dog :(
3.Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I recent years have refused to carbonated drinks, but when I have "cheat meal", allow myself.After Cola even more thirsty, because of the high sugar content, it can be 2 liters per day.
I try to drink as much water as I can, but if we are talking numbers, the outcome value may vary from 1 to 2.5 liters per day. And by that I mean pure bottled water, not including water we consume in food we eat.
Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
I have always disliked Muszynianka for the taste, but for few months now this is the only water I drink. Provided comparison shows how much minerals are or are not in some specific brands of water and I think that if we multiply these numbers by every day a year - we may end up with some serious mineralization issues.
Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I've almost totally stopped drinking sodas as my teeth were hurting from, probably, lack of essential minerals. The second issue is sugar, which just fills up these drinks from bottom to top. I would definitely rather to remain healthy and drink pure water than unhealthy drinks.
No, I like the taste of Borjomi, but I have never been concerned about the issue of mineral richness.
I rarely drink "bad water" like a cola or sprite, most often it is tea, coffee (which is also harmful), juices and water.
I can't remember a situation when I was studying mineral water bottles which one has more mineral saturation. However there is a Georgian brand which is something like magic. It is "borjomi". It helped me so many times when I had problems with my stomach or after hangover.
For the last 3-4 years I've been drinking mostly just water. Sometimes I can buy coca-cola if I need to work late. It keeps me awake for a few more hours due to high level of sugar.
Yes, I sometimes choose water which has high mineral saturation. In the summer, or when I am physically active, I prefer water like Muszynianka, because I am aware of my body needs.
In my opinion being healthy is very important, therefore it is better to drink water over drinks like coca-cola. Fortunately I like to drink tea and water. Because of that I don’t have such dilemmas like choosing between favourite drink and my health.
No, I never choose water due to its high mineral saturation. I found some producers of water which I liked and I usually buy this water if I see it in shop, if not I buy random water.
Usually I drink water, but if I really want I can buy half liter of cola, but not often(two or three times a week).
I drink a lot of water every day. I think I drink about 3 liters. But apart from water, I do not drink anything.
Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
No, never guided by this criterion. For me, the main thing that she was non-carbonated.
Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola?
Since I drink only water, of course, I refused harmful drinks, very rarely I allow myself.
Yes, I try not to buy the worst water in the store, "Muszynianka" is definitely my favorite.
I prefer water, but sometimes you also need to drink something unhealthy, even if it's Christmas, I can not imagine it without it: D
I usually buy cole in a can, so if I drink pusze, it's all around 300ml
I have indeed chosen the water for its minerals many times in the past. I occasionally drink Muszynianka since it’s no secret for me that it has the most of them. However, I don’t like sparkling water and anything that remotely tastes alike. Since Muszynianka contains a very high amount of bicarbonates, it falls into that category, so I don’t drink it very often. Instead, the water that I’m drinking the most is Cisowianka.
Your third questions is a little bit silly as I don’t expect anyone to answer they want to be unhealthy. ;) Personally, I like drinking water and I definitely drink it more than any other fluid. The only „unhealthy” drink I consume is Club-Mate which is essentially water + yerba mate extract + a pinch of sugar, with 20 kcal per 100 ml. Since it contains over twice as less sugar and calories as standard coke, I don’t feel guilty for drinking it.
I switch between muszynianka and some others waters. But I chose muszynianka for its high mineral saturation.
I think everything is for people. Sometimes I like to drink Coca-Cola but is something like a one or two glasses of it. Mainly I drink water.
2. No, I have not.
3. I prefer healthy drinks more, but sometimes can drink unhealthy too.
So I try to drink more than 1 liter a day.
2) No. No, I have not.
3) Not always I choose a clear water. It depends from what I want in the given situation.
But at home, clear water is only choice.
2. Yes, I have chosen water by mineral saturation, it has different taste.
3. Well, I prefer healthy drinks but sometimes I mant something unhealthy so bad.
Maybe 1.5 or 2 liters of water.
2.Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
No, when i want to drink, than it does not metter what to drink.
3.Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I rarely drink something like coca-cola, because I prefer to drink plain water. Although sometimes it happens that I can drink juice. If calculated, than maybe 0,2 per day.
I usually choose water by company that bottle it but not by values that defined on the bottle. But in general I like Borjomi water and I think he has a lot of different minerals inside.
Unfortunately I prefer Cocacola or other sweet waters but I'm trying to change this and has started from moving to usual gas water and next step will be usual water but I don't know how soon I will do this step to drink clear water without unnatural components.
I assume 1,5l and 0,5 in what I eat on average
Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
Many times, strongly recommend staropolanka 2000 with its 2000 mg of minerals per liter
Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola?
How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I drink what I please, and I please what I drink
If we're talkin' about water strictly I drink about 0,5-1 l every day. Rest is in Cola, Coffee and other drinks.
Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
Basicly not, but I remember times when Vitautas (sorry if wrong name) was popular and i drank only it. It tasted not well, but I was sure it had a lot more minerals than any other wator on market :D
Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I prefer unhealthy drinks that contains something mroe than strictly H2O. Basicly clear water is going through your body and you need to drink it more than any other drinks. I like juices, coca-cola, coffee and anything that I like. Life would be disgusting without other beverages than water.
I think I drink about 2 liters of water per day, but sometimes more especially at warm days.
2. Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
In the past, I didn't pay attention to it and I bought for example "Żywiec zdrój", but currently I buy water with high mineral saturation.
3. Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I'd like to be healthy and I drink mainly water or drinks with a low sugar content, but from time to time especially at parties I drink unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola.
There have been time i used to look out for specific highly :enhanced" brand of water, mostly due to my hydration problems when i was more active.
Cola vs water eh i say both are "fine" in reasonable amounts, we should not make such a big deal based on that.
a. Usually from 3 to 4,5 liters per day.
2. Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
a. No, I usually choose the water which “tastes” the best for me.
3. Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
a. Right now I prefer to be healthy and I try to drink only water, of course from time to time I will drink coca-cola lime instead. I think that I only drink 330ml. of sweet drinks per week.
Choosing water depends on what activities I do. If I’m going to do any training I always try to choose water due to its high mineral saturation. I can see on myself that high mineral saturation water works a lot better for me.
Personally, I prefer water as everyday drink, but sometimes I really love to drink something unhealthy.
Yes, I often buy water called "Muszynianka".
During the day I drink a few teas. For about a year I have been trying to stop drinking drinks such as coca-cola or other drinks of this type. I also often drink water with "Łowicz" or "Herbapol" juice.
2) Of course, when you starts drinking water every day, you'll be able to feel the diference between taste of each water. I prefer sarkling rather than still water. My favourite is "Myszynianka".
3) I would rather be healthy and drink more water. I feel better, when I'm not drinking uselles sugar -> but sometimes I just want to taste something different
To be honest, I have no idea how much water I drink during the day. It really depends on what is going on during it. But I think, on average, it is about 1 – 1,5 litters per day. Yes, it’s not a lot but I think it’s manageable. As said, amount of consumed water really depends on what kind of day I have. If I am really busy and have no time even for lunch, then I just skip drinking as well, since I don’t like drinking just like, that only when I eat something.
And by the way, I always prefer water to Fanta, Coca-Cola or Pepsi. I don’t why, but if I really want to drink, the only thing that can quench my thirst is water. Not juice, not tea, not sweet drinks or coffee. Only water. That’s why, even though, I really like sweet drinks, especially Fanta, I drink it much less than water.
Regarding minerals. I have heard that there is basically different water depending on different minerals it has. But, to be honest, I have never paid any attention to it, and most likely will not. Anyway it tastes all the same, and no matter what “kind” of water you drink it still will be better and healthier than coffee or energy drink.
• How many liters of water do you drink every day?
I try to tend with 1,5l each day but sometimes I’m just forgetting to hydrate.
• Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
Yes. I often choose Muszynianka or Piwniczanka. They taste good and have a lot of minerals
• Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
I prefer water. I’m not a big fan of coca cola. But some time ago I bought fruit mixer, and when I have a time, I try to do some juice.
2. Yes, I have. I always choose water due to high mineral saturation such as Kinga Pienińska or Muszynianka, because I know how important it is to provide minerals to our bodies.
3. I seldom drink soft drinks as Coca-cola or Fanta. Sometimes when I go to the Cinema I drink Coca-cola with nachos. So it is maybe 1 liter a month.
Yes, once. My flatmate once said that the water I'm drinking is not so good due to its low mineral saturation. So I decided to go to the shop and pick the one which has "the most value" in terms of minerals.
I'm mostly water-drinker but sometimes I drink coca-cola. Per week I drink maybe one liter of other drinks than water.
It's hard to tell. I think around 1.5 l? Maybe a bit more, I have no idea to be honest.
2. Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
I have never done that. Hopefuly Cisowianka has some minerals.
3. Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
When it comes to unhealthy drinks I find it easier for myself to resign from them than to resign from unhealthy food. I drink such things like Coca-cola only on parties, when I mix it with alcohol. My everyday drinks are water, tea nad coffee.
No, I've never chosen water because of its high level of mineral saturation. I do not experiment with water. I choose the brands I know well.
I love coca-cola, but I limited drinking it because of its high level of sugar. Nowadays, I only drink such drinks with zero amount of sugar and zero calories. I believe they are much healthier and the taste is not much different from the original ones. It's hard to say how much I drink.
I've never chosen water due to its high mineral saturation, never thought about it. There are just water that I like and water that I don't like and I can't explain why. I'll check its mineral saturation next time :)
I love juice, I cannot live without juice. Sometimes I drink Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper but nor that often.
If I buy it my myself, yes, I often choose the one with high mineral saturation, but if I have no choice like in work, I don't really care if it has or hasn't many minerals.
I don't touch drinks with sugar. I only drink water, tea and sometimes coffee.
I used to check it. Nowadays I don't care about it that much.
I'm a programmer, so I love coca-cola. I was the founder of the idea of buying coca-cola branded fridge to our office. Now it's always filled up with cans of this carbonated black liquid. It's hard not to be tempted by it, so I think I am drinking approximately 1 liter of it weekly.
I think that it is not enough for my needs.
2. I rather don't look for a saturation minerals in water. But sometimes I buy water with extra magnesium.
3. I prefer drink a water, but sometimes i have desire for sweet drinks. So if I have only water in home I drink it, but when I can chose between drink cola or water. I probably will chosen cola because it's taste better.
I love coca-cola but I am trying to quit it. Its pretty hard as drinking beverages is almost like a drug addiction its nearly impossible to stop immadiately
Yes, sometimes I choose water with high mineral saturation. I love to drink Muszynianka. I know that it has lots of minerals that people need for better functioning.
I used to drink a lot of Coke but I stopped drinking sweet drinks and try to throw only on mineral water.
2. There was a time I was buying a water with high mineral saturation but I’ve heard recently that to much minerals in your body can be harmful for your health, so now I usually buy water with average amount of mineral content.
3. I usually drink water, tea and coffee on daily basis and I do not drink anything which has added sugar because it is addictive and have really bad impact on our health.
I've personally don't pay that much attention to mineral saturation in the water but some people do and they have their own reasons to do so, for example, people who do sports or who are ill may drink more mineral-enriched water then rest of us.
I drink Coca-Cola very very rarely and I'm not a fan of such energy drinks.
2. Some years ago I was drinking only juices or sodas but now I prefer water, tea or coffee.
3. I think that I drink one glass of such drinks per day on average.
I like Coca-Cola. I think that you can drink it sometimes. And I think that it doesn't affect human's body and health too much. In my opinion energy drinks are much worse. Oh my God, people why you drink so much energy drinks? I don't understand.
I'm drinking about 2 big bottles of water everyday, so something about 4L.
2. Have you ever chosen water due to its high mineral saturation?
No, I have not. But I've heard about it.
3. Would you rather be healthy and drink water or you prefer more unhealthy drinks such as coca-cola? How many liters of it do you drink every day?
You know, everything is for people. Usually water is the only thing I drink during the day, but sometimes I like to drink Coca Cola Zero. Zero not because of its zero calories etc, but it just tastes better for me.
