Water

Almost 70% of our body weight is water. Water is needed by our body for good health.

• It helps to transport substances inside our body.
• It helps our body to absorb nutrients from food.
• It helps to regulate our body temperature.
• It is needed for various chemical reactions that take place inside our body during digestion, excretion, etc.
• We get water not only from the liquids we drink but also from the food we eat. Milk, fruits, vegetables, and juices are good sources of water.
