Why is water important for good health?

The body needs water to function. Our bodies are 60 to 70% water. Most parts of the body contain water, including the brain, blood, and muscle. The body needs water to:

* Control body temperature.
* Remove wastes (through urine and bowel movements).
* Carry nutrients (food) and oxygen to cells.
* Maintain fluid balance and the delicate balance of minerals.
* Cushion joints.
