How much water does a person drink every day to maintain health?

Suggestion in the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022):

Under mild climate conditions, the optimal daily water intake for adult males with low levels of physical activity is 1700ml; for females, the optimal daily water intake is 1500ml.

Drink water proactively, in small amounts and multiple times. Drinking water can be done at any time of the day, with 1 cup at a time, approximately 200ml per cup. Drink one glass of water in the morning and one glass of water in the evening, and drink one glass of water every 1-2 hours during other times

In other words, drinking three kilograms of water a day is enough for everyone to maintain normal physiological needs.

However, in a small mountain village in Jiangxi Province, there is a 14-year-old boy who has been drinking 30 kilograms of water every day for ten consecutive years, which is 10 times more than an adult!

Don't you worry about Water intoxication if you drink too much water for a long time?

Strangely, when a doctor learned about this matter, he said he had to drink so much water!

What's going on here?

I love drinking water

Wang Jian (pseudonym) is a villager from a small mountain village in Jiangxi. From his appearance, he is no different from a normal child, and he may even be slightly skinny.

But it was this unattractive child who had to drink 30 pounds of water every day, and his classmates also nicknamed him "Buffalo".

Drinking water itself is not a problem, but he loves it too much and needs to bring two 1.5-liter beverage bottles filled with water to school when leaving home in the morning.

These three liters of water can't be consumed by a normal person in a day, but Wang Jian is different. In school, he occasionally needs to pick up a water bottle and drink "tons and tons" of water, even if it's just one sip, half a bottle of water will go down.

It's obvious that according to his way of drinking, three liters of water won't be enough for a whole morning.

Wang Jian attended a junior high school with a cafeteria. He usually eats at school and doesn't go home to rest, but how can he replenish the water in the afternoon?

Although his mother would give him some pocket money, because the family was poor, the pocket money was not much, only one or two yuan.

Wang Jian had never bought any snacks before, so he went to the snack bar to buy two bottles of 600ml mineral water and drank them all in one gulp.

That's not enough, I'm still thirsty.

There is no hot water room in the school, so Wang Jian took a large bottle to collect tap water, drank it while taking it, filled it up, and brought it back to the classroom. After the first class, he took another bottle to the water room to fill it up.

Before school ends in the afternoon, he can "consume all" of these two large bottles of water.

One liter is equal to two pounds, and four large bottles of water are 12 pounds. Plus two 600ml bottles of mineral water and the water he drank in the water room, Wang Jian drank 14 pounds of water in school alone.

In fact, this was the result of Wang Jian's deliberate suppression. Although drinking so much water every day was enough to attract people's attention, he wanted to be as unobtrusive as possible because of his pride. This was also an important reason why Wang Jian had to pick up water twice at noon instead of two bottles at a time.

After returning home from school, Wang Jian no longer had such scruples and began drinking water recklessly.

The mother knew about her son's situation and started burning hot water early on, filling all the hot water bottles and jars at home.

Although there isn't much time between school and going to bed at night. But it's been a long night,

If the average person falls asleep, it is generally rare for them to wake up from thirst. But Wang Jian is different. Just like setting a Circadian clock, he will suddenly wake up to drink water - go to the toilet - drink water after a period of time.

Calculated, he can drink over 30 pounds of water a day.

It is precisely because the child's sleep quality at night is too poor, some of which are underdeveloped and grow thin and small.

Ten years

So, when did Wang Jian start this situation?

According to Wang Jian's mother Li Fang (pseudonym), when her son was first born, it was no different from a normal child.

She remembers very clearly that it was the sixth day of the first lunar month in the year when Wang Jian was four years old.

That night in the middle of the night, my son and his wife were sleeping together. When they fell asleep, Wang Jian suddenly woke her up and said, "Mom, I need to drink water

Although it is rare for her son to drink water at midnight, Li Fang didn't take it seriously either. She quickly got up from bed and went to the living room to bring back a small glass of water for her son to drink.

After Wang Jian took the cup, he looked up and drank it all in one gulp, then looked up and said to Li Fang, "Mom, I still want to drink

How can this child drink so much?

After Wang Jian finished drinking the water, he stopped shouting thirst and went straight to sleep. Li Fang didn't take it seriously either, lying in bed and continuing to sleep. As she was about to fall asleep, her son suddenly woke her up and asked for water to drink.

Since that evening, Wang Jian has changed, becoming particularly fond of drinking water, and he is getting more and more every day.

At the beginning, Wang Jian could drink almost one kilogram of water per night, and as he grew older, he drank more and more water.

The most common situation in the Wang family is to fill all the hot water bottles, keep a pot of boiled water warm on the stove, and also fill the two large jars and a basin in the house with water, ready for Wang Jian at any time.

Li Fang doesn't have to do anything else all day, either boiling water for her son or on her way to boiling water.

This incident also caused great Psychological stress to Wang Jian's young mind.

This special experience also made Wang Jian very sensitive, unwilling to visit relatives and friends' homes, and he had never visited any of his classmates' homes as a guest.

Sometimes, if forced to go to relatives' homes, Wang Jian firmly refuses to stay overnight at their homes. Because he is worried that if he keeps drinking water at night, it will cause trouble for others, and he is also very embarrassed. You can't just let others boil several pots of hot water for your own sake in case of emergency.

Ten years!

In order to treat his son's illness, Wang Jian's parents have also invested in the wrong place.

They didn't even want to go to the hospital to see what the illness was because they were willing to demolish the house for their son?

The couple did not believe in modern medicine and only took their son to the hospital when he was two years old. They never went there again for 12 years.

50

After years of tossing and turning, the couple also saw through. Apart from liking drinking water, the son has no other problems and is no different from a normal person. So what else is there to toss and turn? Isn't it just about boiling more water!

Until Wang Jian was 14 years old, the story of a little boy drinking 30 kilograms of water a day caught the attention of the local television station, and reporters were sent to conduct on-site visits.

When Li Fang learned about the reporter's intentions, she immediately felt like she had seen a savior and asked them to help solve the problem.

It is obvious that the reporter cannot know what is going on, so she is suggested to take her child to a large hospital to have a look.

Let alone say that the big hospital is really a big hospital. When the doctor heard Li Fang describe his son's condition, he immediately thought of many possibilities, such as mental thirst, drug induced thirst, and diabetes.

Diabetes insipidus is caused by the hypothalamus neurohypophysis disease, which causes the deficiency of Vasopressin to varying degrees, affects the reabsorption function of renal tubules, and leads to the increase of water excretion from the kidney, resulting in polyuria.

In addition, kidney lesions and genetic defects can also lead to the occurrence of this condition.

The most prominent manifestation of Diabetes insipidus is polydipsia and irritability.

Although this disease may seem quite frightening, the doctor also said that if water can be replenished, it generally will not affect normal life and learning.

That is to say, as long as Wang Jian insists on drinking 30 kilograms of water every day, there won't be anything wrong. He drinks too much and urinates too much.
