Your Body Needs Water

Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water hydrates your body when it enters it. It nourishes your cells and muscles. Too much water, meaning extreme amounts of water intake, however, could cause over dilution in your body, and possibly cause your cells to burst. Otherwise, drinking a normal amount of water daily is healthy for your body.

You need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to your organs and tissues. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.
