Why We Are Dependent On Water

Everyone's heard it; water is one of the most important nutrients for the body. Well, it's true. The human body can survive without food a lot longer than it can survive without water; about 30 days longer (give or take). That's because the human body is made up of water, 50-70%. It transports nutrients throughout the body, helps to eliminate toxins and waste, regulates temperature, lubricates joints, relieves fluid retention, etc. Water is fundamental to how the body functions on a daily basis. And if you don't replenish your bodies water supply by drinking water, and eating foods like fruits and vegetables it can wreak havoc causing symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, stress, etc. That's why human survival is dependent on water. To get adequate water replenishment,  drink your body weight in ounces, everyday.
