The human body is up to 65% water. But the water in your body isn't just there to add mass; it performs vital functions throughout every system and organ you have. That’s why every part of you, down to your bones, is full of moisture. Here's why water is so important and why you should arrange regular water delivery to uphold your health.

What Water Does for You

1. Move Materials

The primary role of water in your body is to move materials—including nutrients, waste, and even cells—to where they need to go. Water's liquid properties allow it to flow freely through the body, both inside the veins, in the digestive system, and even in and out of individual cells.

2. Regulate Temperature

When the human body gets too hot, many of its processes are interrupted. Blood is diverted toward the skin and away from the internal organs, so less of it is working as a water delivery system to transport oxygen and nutrients. But by releasing water in the form of quickly evaporating sweat, the human body can cool itself effectively—as long as there is an adequate water supply.

3. Cushion Tissues & Joints

Your bones are hard and can sometimes have rough edges. To keep them from scraping and binding painfully, there are watery sacs or pads in between all your body's joints, from your spine to your fingers and your knees. Dehydration can deplete this natural cushioning and make the joints uncomfortable and stiff.
