I’ve struggled to reach my required water targets but in getting it to 2-2.5 litres a day it helped me to understand why I need it. Here is a list of the top seven:
- Moistens the tissues such as the eyes, nose and mouth
- Maintains body temperature
- Protects body organs and tissue
- Lubricates joints
- Lessens the burden on the kidney and liver by flushing out waste
- Carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells
- Helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients so they can be used by the body
