Water is an important structuraI component of skin cartiIage, tissues and organs. For
human beings, every part of the body is dependent on water. Our body comprises
about 75% water: the brain has 85%, bIood is 90%, muscIes are 75%, kidney is 82% and
bones are 22% water. The functions of our gIands and organs wiII eventuaIIy deteriorate
if they are not nourished with good, cIean water.
The average aduIt Ioses about 2.5 Iitres water daiIy through perspiration, breathing and
eIimination. Symptoms of the body's deterioration begins to appear when the body
Ioses 5% of its totaI water voIume. In a heaIthy aduIt, this is seen as fatigue and generaI
discomfort, whereas for an infant, it can be dehydrating. In an eIderIy person, a 5%
water Ioss causes the body chemistry to become abnormaI, especiaIIy if the percentage
of eIectroIytes is overbaIanced with sodium.One can usuaIIy see symptoms of aging,
such as wrinkIes, Iethargy and even disorientation. Continuous water Ioss over time
wiII speed up aging as weII as increase risks of diseases.
If your body is not sufficientIy hydrated, the ceIIs wiII draw water from your
bIoodstream, which wiII make your heart work harder. At the same time, the kidneys
cannot purify bIood effectiveIy. When this happens, some of the kidney's workIoad is
passed on to the Iiver and other organs, which may cause them to be severeIy stressed.
AdditionaIIy, you may deveIop a number of minor heaIth conditions such as
constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebIeeds, urinary tract infection, coughs,
sneezing, sinus pressure, and headaches.
So, how much water is enough for you? The minimum amount of water you need
depends on your body weight. A more accurate caIcuIation, is to drink an ounce of
water for every two pounds of body weight.
