Answer the following :

Explain the importance of water in our diet.

Water is important for the human body it makes up to 55-75% of body mass. We might survive without food for a few days but without water is not possible. It makes up blood, digestive juices, urine, and perspiration. We have to keep hydrating ourselves because water is not stored in our body. Water keeps the blood thin, helps eliminate waste, regulate body temperature, keeps lungs and mouth moist, helps with digestion, prevents constipation, for healthy skin, transportation of nutrients, and as a shock absorber. If water intake is not enough it can cause health concerns like constipation, headache, dehydration, and dark coloured urine.
