SUMMARY
-When you are born, your body is comprised of 75% water. As you grow older and become an adult, this number becomes a bit smaller: 60%.
-The Institute of Medicine recommends that women drink no less than 72 oz of water a day, which equals 9 cups. As for men, they need more water: 104 oz (or 13 cups) a day.
-If you don't get enough water, your body temperature won't stay within its normal range. Your joints won't be lubricated and cushioned. Your body waste won't be able to leave your body through sweat, urine, and bowel movements. Even your spine will end up unprotected.
-Your body will simply stop functioning without water. Every single cell needs this liquid to work and live.
-Too much water in your body dilutes electrolytes in the blood. As a result, sodium levels go down. This condition is called hyponatremia.
-Buy a cool water bottle, and carry it with you wherever you go. If you have problems with the taste of ordinary water (or the absence of a taste), try to drink carbonated water. Add fruit to your water bottle.
