Water is very important for your body
• Water is used in every cell of your body. Water travels throughout your body carrying nutrients, oxygen, and wastes to and from your cells and organs.
• Water keeps your body cool as part of your body’s temperature regulating system.
• Water cushions your joints, and protects your tissues and organs from shock and damage.
• Water acts as a lubricant for your joints, your
mouth and digestive system in saliva, and in your nose, throat, eyes, and stomach as part of mucus.
• Water aids in digestion and absorption of food, as well as in the removal of wastes from your body.
• Water also helps you maintain a healthy weight.
