Cell life
Water is essential for cells to function properly: it enters into the composition of the cells.
Chemical and metabolic reactions
By enabling hydrolysis reactions, water participates in the biochemical breakdown of what we eat (proteins, lipids and carbohydrates). This is one of many reactions in which water is involved.
Transport of nutrients and removal of waste
Water as a main constituent of blood contributes to the transport of nutrients to the cells. In deed the nutrients are transported by the blood. Water, as a carrier, also helps removing waste products through urines.
Body temperature regulation
Water has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or a cold environment. Water enables the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature (2): we begin to sweat, and the evaporation of water from the skin surface cools the body very efficiently.
Water is at the heart of life. This is why a human being can survive no longer than few days without water.
Drinking water every day (approximately 1.5 liters*), and at regular intervals, 8 times a day (before, during and in-between meals), without waiting until you’re thirsty, is important as part of a healthy lifestyle !
