Our
bodies are about 60 percent water. Water regulates our body temperature,
moves nutrients through our cells, keeps our mucous membranes moist and
flushes waste from our bodies. Our lungs are 90 percent water, our
brains are 70 percent water and our blood is more than 80 percent water.
Simply put, we can't function without it. Most people sweat out about
two cups of water per day (0.5 liters). Each day, we also lose a little
more than a cup of water (237 ml) when we exhale it, and we eliminate
about six cups (1.4 l) of it. We also lose electrolytes -- minerals like
sodium and potassium that regulate the body's fluids. So how do we
replace it? Source: http://science.howstuffworks.com |
