Water is one thing the body must have to survive. The body needs water more than most anything else except oxygen. Did you realize that as little as a 2% loss of water, the body becomes fatigued. As little as a 10% loss can cause serious problems and a week without water can be fatal. Consider the following:
- Approximately 90% of the blood is made up of water
- Water composes 75% of the brain
- Water accounts for 22% of the bones
- Water makes up 75% of muscles
The average adult needs 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of water a day, more if they are large, very active physically or drink a lot of caffeine products which act as diuretics.
Make sure you drink enough water to keep your body is good condition.
