The human body may last for weeks without food.But it cannot do without the water.The body is made up of approximately 55 to 75 per cent water. Water forms the basis of blood, digestive juices, urine and perspiration and is contained in lean muscle, fat and bones.

Water is needed to

- The transport of nutrients into cells

- Keep the bloodstream liquid enough to flow through blood vessels

- Help eliminate the by products of the body’s metabolism

- The function of the brain

- Helps to flush out toxins

- Regulate body temperature through sweating

What If we dont have enough water in the body?

- Our blood pressure can fall to dangerously low levels.

- Blood clots may form.

- Kidney function may get impaired.

- Constipation.

- Terribly dry skin

- Increased incidence of urinary tract infections

- Reoccurring headaches.

How we can maintain a good water intake and a good body?

A diet containing lots of fruits and vegetables will supply about 4 cups of water per day.Water is hidden in the foods we eat. For example fresh fruit and vegetables and many other foods contain water. For example, tomatoes are 95% water, watermelons, 97%, and even an egg is 74% water.

“Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
