             The Health Benefits of Water

Did you know that your body weight is approximately 60 percent water? Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. The amount of water you need depends on a variety of factors, including the climate you live in, how physically active you are, and whether you're experiencing an illness or have any other health problems.

Water Aids in Digestion
 Digestion relies on enzymes that are found in saliva to help break down food and liquid and to dissolve minerals and other nutrients. Water is necessary to help you digest soluble fiber.




Water prevents the body from losing fluids when you engage in vigorous exercise, sweat in high heat, or come down with a fever or contract an illness that causes vomiting or diarrhea. If you're pregnant or a nursing mother, you may want to consult with your doctor about your fluid intake because your body will be using more fluids than usual, especially if you're breastfeeding.
