All about Drinking Water
Water makes up about 60% of your body and helps with almost every process inside you. It keeps your temperature steady, helps you digest food, carries nutrients to your cells and helps your brain stay alert.
Drink water regularly throughout the day, not just when you feel thirsty. You lose water through breathing, sweating and going to the toilet, so you need to replace it. Milk, fruit and vegetables also contribute to your fluid intake.
