Water is a inorganic compound which is essential for life. Every living cell needs water in order to grow and thrive. Water makes up about 65% of our body mass. It is so important that unlike food a human being cannot live for more than a few days without water. Water is the material which helps all the different material that makes up our body, to work together. It is what makes it possible for our body’s to absorb and secrete materials from and to the outside environment. Water is the main component that makes up the rivers of blood flowing through our veins, which brings life giving oxygen and nutrient to every cell in our body. Many people can suffer from discomforts that are brought on by a insufficient intake of water. Headaches and fatigue can be signs of mild dehydration. The recommended daily intake of water is about eight cups per day. But one should be aware that caffeinated drinks such and coffee, tea and cola cause the body to loss more water. So if you drink caffeinated beverages you should be drinking even more then the recommended eight cups per day. Also in hot and dry climates one should be sure to drink more. In short water is not just the least expensive nutrient that our bodies need but the most important.
