We all know that the body needs water to survive, but it may be surprising to know just how much of the body water affects. The body needs a fresh supply of water each day, the amount of which depends on various factors such as age, gender, and pregnancy. Water is not only important for cellular health, it also helps to keep your joints properly lubricated. Through perspiration, water regulates your body temperature and it also keeps the bladder free of undesirable bacteria. Aside from drinking water, you can also get a good portion of your daily requirements from the food you eat. Water is particularly abundant in fruits and vegetables. Keep an eye on your daily water intake to ensure your body is receiving the optimum amount.

Key Takeaways:

• Water is important for helping the body to process excess electrolytes.
• Water keeps the membranes in your nose and mouth moist so they can function properly.
• Those who eat a lot of fruits and veggies or live sedentary lifestyles may require less water.

“Water forms the basis of blood, digestive juices, urine and perspiration, and is contained in lean muscle, fat and bones.”
