Up to 60% of the Human Body is water!
Summer is upon us and it is important more than ever to remain properly hydrated. Adequate water intake is necessary for our body.
According to the world renowned Mayo Clinic Health System, here are just a few important ways water works in your body:
1. Regulates body temperature
2. Moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth
3. Protects body organs and tissues
4. Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells
5. Lubricates joints Lessens burden the on kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products
6. Helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make them accessible to your body
Every day, you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements, which is why it’s important to continue to take in water throughout the day. By consuming the minimum recommendation of water (approximately 3 to 4 litres), you’re helping your body function better and improving your overall health.
