How much water should I drink a day? - The Food Chain podcast, BBC World Service

Meow

1 litre per 30 kg

I m big fan of tea and water

Why BBC dont permit translate other language in sub

6:31 ,I drink half liter water

Thanks for the best information 🎉

I keep a mug with very cold water with ice. The colder the more I was willing to drink. It’s working!

I just keep a large container of liquid available with my favorite ice!!! When it’s really cold It’s easier to drink for me!

A cup of broth sounds wonderful! Great idea!

I question whether marathons are dangerousness. You aren’t using good judgment when you push yourself too hard.

Foods vary in water. Soups and stews have more water.

No one wants to count fluids that aren’t just water! I disagree with that! Fluid is fluid and the calories are separate from that. Some people need extra calories and some don’t. Fluids can be nutritious!

Each person is different! How much caffeine you consume!! How much sweating you are doing.

Victoria must be drinking a bit more😶

I can't drink much water 😥 If I drink i have to go to pee frequently. I feel bored 😫... What should i do??? Let me know plz🙏

Per day 2 enough

Wow bigger people need more water what a scientific miracle

Body mass is a critical factor.
Age is another and genetic factors.

I think I need to learn drinking properly. Greeting from Penajam North Paser, East Kalimantan ❤

Giọng đọc chậm rãi dễ nghe và học từ 🥰🥰

Why do I even watch it when I am on dialysis and dream of just a glass of water daily. I wish I had these problems (I am allowed to drink 600ml a day incl. water content in all my food)

💧Water is the essence of life! 💦 Do you really know how much water you drink each day? 🧐 Our bodies are about 60% water 🚰 and every cell depends on it to stay alive 🌿! Without enough water, we can feel tired 😴, get headaches 🤕, or even lose focus 🧠. So start your day with a glass ☀️ and don’t forget to stay hydrated throughout the day 💙 Health, energy, and freshness are yours! 🌈🥤💪

Guys why Birmingham accent sounds like spitting rap🙂

Umida?

❤❤❤

😂😂😂😂😂rrrrr

I usually drink 1.5 or 2 litres per day. As I need to sit all day at work, it helps me to get up to go to bathroom. Thanks for the programme❤

Commentary: BBC Chinese’s Biased Coverage of Taiwan’s Recall Campaigns Undermines Media Integrity

In any democratic society, the role of media is to report facts and hold power accountable — not to act as a mouthpiece for any political faction. Yet, BBC Chinese has consistently demonstrated a clear bias in its recent coverage of Taiwan’s recall movements, betraying the journalistic neutrality expected of a global public broadcaster. This troubling pattern deserves scrutiny by the international community.

1. Selective Framing and Agenda-Driven Headlines

BBC Chinese repeatedly frames recall efforts initiated by Taiwanese citizens in a negative light, using emotionally charged phrases such as “political vendetta” or “retaliatory recalls.” Meanwhile, it avoids or downplays the very reasons behind these democratic actions — public dissatisfaction, political misconduct, or broken promises. By oversimplifying grassroots democratic processes as factional struggle, BBC Chinese misleads international readers and diminishes the agency of Taiwanese voters.

2. Delegitimizing a Legal and Democratic Process

Recall elections are a constitutional right in Taiwan, safeguarded by clear legal procedures and thresholds under the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act. Every successful or failed recall represents tens of thousands of real, law-abiding votes. Yet BBC Chinese frequently questions the legitimacy of these actions, often quoting pro-government scholars without presenting the voices of dissatisfied constituents. This selective coverage stigmatizes legal democratic behavior and disrespects voters’ rights.

3. Lack of Editorial Independence in Taiwan Bureau

There are increasing concerns that certain journalists or editors at BBC Chinese’s Taiwan bureau maintain close ties with a specific political party, compromising editorial independence. Repeatedly citing the same political commentators while ignoring voices from recall organizers or affected citizens betrays the basic principle of balanced journalism. Even in opinion pieces, fairness and diversity of perspective are non-negotiable.

4. BBC Must Uphold Its Global Reputation

While the main English-language BBC often retains its professionalism and impartial tone, its Chinese-language arm has repeatedly failed to meet the same standards — especially on politically sensitive topics like Taiwan. This double standard risks turning BBC Chinese into a political tool, damaging the BBC brand’s global credibility.

⸻

🟦 Our Call to BBC Chinese:
1. Conduct an internal review of editorial practices and staff affiliations.
2. Ensure balanced coverage, giving space to all voices — not just those aligned with the ruling party.
3. Respect democratic mechanisms, and stop framing lawful recall efforts as illegitimate power plays.

A healthy democracy requires multiple voices, and the media must rise above partisanship to protect truth. If BBC Chinese truly values its global integrity, it must stop acting as a partisan enabler and return to its journalistic mission: to report honestly, fully, and fairly.

Good!!

People who work in the office often overlook to drink water due to their overwhelming tasks and tight deadlines. It's necessary to always remind ourselves for drinking water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can occasionally lead to kidney disease.

Defund the bbc

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I drink too much water i guess, thats why i feel dizzy quite sometimes, thanks for the information

Our body might be 90% water by mass, but its a closed system surrounded by a huge magnetic field (Earth), making the mass factor far less important. Our blood is about 25% water by count, making the purity and filtration process more important when not considering sweating.

Everybody has those stupid large heavy bottles. I take a little bottle, very light and i refill it.

Why does she say [blod]
It is [bl^d]
