Water is the most important nutrient we consume everyday of our lives. It is the solvent for the foods we eat, transporting nutrients and helping to metabolize or assimilate them throughout our body. The main source of energy for the pressure to perform these tasks is the heart, which pumps in excess of 2000 gallons of blood through the body per day.
Water is crucial to every bodily function.
It is the basis of every body fluid, not only blood and lymph, but also the digestive juices, bile, perspiration, bodily wastes. It acts as a lubricant preventing friction between moving parts of the body. Even the eye needs water to function. Through evaporation from the lungs or perspiration from the skin, water regulates our internal body temperature.
