REASONS WHY WATER IS IMPORTANT TO HUMAN BODY

Water along with Oxygen is the most important substance to our bodies. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158 – “the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.”

 

Every single cell craves for water. We can survive without food for several weeks, but our organs will stop working after only 3-4 days without water.
