Tātaitai Inu Wai

Ko ngā aratohu a te Manatū Hauora o Aotearoa e tohu ana tata ki te 2.0 rita wai katoa ia rā mō ngā wāhine pakeke me te 2.5 rita ia rā mō ngā tāne pakeke, tae atu ki ngā inu katoa me te haumaru o ngā kai. Ko ēnei uara he aratohu whānui — ka rerekē nui ngā hiahia takitahi. Ko ngā tangata e noho ana i roto i ngā rohe wera o Aotearoa penei i Te Matau a Maui, Wairau, ko Otago-o-uta rānei ka hiahia nui ake i ngā marama raumati. Ko te oma tinana, mate, whangai u, me te rangi wera katoa ka nui ake i ngā hiahia wai. Ka kapi ēnei aratohu i ngā puna katoa o te inu wai, kaua ko te wai anake — ko te ti, kawhe, miraka, me ngā kai katoa ka tāpiri ki te inu wai ia rā. Ko te mate wai he tohu pai whānui mō ngā pakeke hauora, engari ko ngā pakeke kua kore rānei tō rātou rongo mate wai me inu ana ia roimata ahakoa. Puna: Manatū Hauora health.govt.nz.

He tikanga pai hei whakatau i o hiahia wai ia rā motuhake ko te whakarea i to taumaha tinana i roto i ngā kilokaramu ki te 0.033 hei whiwhi i te pūtake i roto i ngā rita. Hei tauira, ko tētahi tangata 70kg ka hiahia tata ki te 70 x 0.033 = 2.31 rita ia rā hei pūtake. Ki tēnei pūtake, tapirihia tata ki te 0.5 ki te 1 rita mō ia hāora o te oma tinana iti iho ki te kaha. Tapirihia tata ki te 0.5 rita i ngā ra wera, i roto rānei i tētahi taiao tino mahana. Mō ngā pakeke hauora, ko te mate wai he aratohu pai — ko te mimi kowhai ma e tohu ana i te mākūnga pai, ko te kowhai pouri, kākāriki rānei e tohu ana kei a koe te hiahia inu. Ka rerekē anō ngā hiahia takitahi e ai ki te mahi whatukuhu, rongoā, me ngā tikanga hauora. Whakaaro tonu ki tētahi tohunga hauora ki mēnā he tikanga hauora e pa ana ki te tauritetanga wai.

Ae, ko te wai paipa he haumaru ki te inu i roto i ngā taone me ngā pa katoa o Aotearoa. Ko ngā punawai taone o Aotearoa ka tiakina me te aroturuki kia tutuki i ngā Paerewa Wai Inu mō Aotearoa. Ko te nuinga o ngā punawai taone nui ka tāpirihia te hūpē ki te tautoko i te hauora niho. Ko te wai ka puta mai ko ngā urupounamu tiakina penei i ngā awa maunga, puna whenua, me ngā roto. Mō ngā korero tino mō te kounga wai-a-rohe, tirohia to paetukutuku kaunihera rohe, taone rānei, ko te paetukutuku Water NZ rānei. Ko ngā rohe taiwhenua ka tohatoha e ngā tanga ua takitahi, ko ngā puna rānei me whakamatautau ana tō rātou wai mō ia wā, me te tiaki pai, nā te mea ko ēnei punawai kāore e tiakina ana e te tikanga kāwanatanga rite ki te wai taone. Ki te whakaaro rerekē, inā koa i roto i ngā wāhi taiwhenua, hike rānei, ko te kohua wai, ko te whakamahi kirihou rānei e tohu ana. Puna: Water NZ waternz.org.nz; Manatū Hauora Paerewa Wai Inu.

Ae, ka tāpiri te kawhe me te ti ki to inu wai ia rā. Ahakoa he kaiurungia iti iho to te kaweina, ko te wai katoa i roto i tētahi kapu kawhe, ti rānei ka tāpiri tonu ki to mākūnga. Ko ngā taunakitanga kai-hou o nāianei, tae atu ki ngā aratohu a te Manatū Hauora, e tohu ana ko te inu iti iho o ngā inu kaweina — tae atu ki te 3 ki te 4 kapu kawhe ia rā — ka tāpiri ki ngā whainga wai ia rā. Ko ngā ti otaota me te kawhe kore-kaweina ka tāpiri katoa. Heoi anō, ko te inu kaweina tino nui, ko ngā inu hiko, me te waipiro ka nui ake i te puta mimi a ka whakamimiti i te mākūnga katoa. Ko te mahi pai ko te inu wai hei inu matua, ka tapiria e te ti, kawhe, miraka, me ētahi atu inu. Kaua e whakamahia ngā inu hiko kaweina-nui hei puna matua o to mākūnga.
