We all know drinking water is good for us, but did you know...

Blood is 92% water, bones are 22% water, the brain is 75% water, and muscles are 75% water. Water also:

  • Makes up the majority of every cell in our bodies
  • Is the biggest part of our blood and lymph systems, carrying food and oxygen to the cells and carrying away waste
  • Helps flush our kidneys to get rid of toxic substances
  • Helps balance our electrolytes, which help control our blood pressure
  • Helps moistens our eyes, mouth, and nasal passages
  • Helps keep the body cool when it is hot and insulates the body from cold
  • Acts as a shock absorber to cushion the body’s organs
  • Helps lubricate joints and is part of your blood, sweat, tears, and saliva
  • Can provide many of the trace minerals our bodies need

A variety of sources was used for this data including the Center for Disease Control, the Water Quality Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Dietetic Association, and the American Heart Association. (USA)
