Can fruit juice and milk tea replace filtered water?

Dr. Dinh Tran Ngoc Mai , Department of Nutrition - Dietetics, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, answered: Filtered water is a necessary and important type of water for the body, helping the body maintain the process of transport, metabolism and regulating homeostasis.

People with heart failure and late-stage chronic kidney disease should drink water as prescribed by their doctor.

Water has no calories while most fruit juices and milk teas provide a certain amount of sugar.

Drinking fruit juice or milk tea instead of water every day will lead to excess energy and obesity. Therefore, other drinks cannot replace water.

The body needs an average of 1.5-2 liters of water per day. However, the amount of water you drink depends on the working environment, whether it is air-conditioned or hot, the intensity of exercise, training, age, and medical conditions. For example, you need to increase your water intake when it is hot or you sweat a lot during exercise.

In particular, people with heart failure and late-stage chronic kidney disease need to drink water as prescribed by their doctor.
