Description

Liquid intake management system

The present invention is related to a liquid intake management system.

The right amount of water is necessary to maintain good health. Normal adults need about 2000 cc of drinking water per day. However, according to statistics, the average daily drinking water per person is about 1200 cc. Even nearly half of the people drink less than 500 cc a day, far below the standard value. The amount of drinking water is related to various factors such as personal weight, age, physiological state, climate, temperature and humidity. Doing a good job in drinking water management is very important to personal health, but it is not easy. Many office workers who are sitting in front of a computer, or students who have been buried in the pile of books for a long time, always forget to drink water because they are busy. On the other hand, in an air-conditioned room for a long period of time, it also has an impact on the ability of the human body to sense nature and regulate demand. In addition, many patients need to drink plenty of water or strictly control the water; weight management of athletes and athletes' exercise physiology are also closely related to drinking water control. If you have a convenient drinking water management device, you can actively record and remind users to drink plenty of water, which will help the health of the people.

In addition, those with special constitution or with specific diseases, such as diabetes, must strictly control the intake of sugar drinks, or some patients can only eat a limited amount of liquid food in a day or a period of time.
