Why water is important

Water's functions include the following
  • help digest food through salvia and stomach secretions
  • lubricate joints and cushion organs
  • tranport nutrients, hormones and oxygen through the blood to our working muscles
  • remove waste products such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide
  • through urine, water carries waste products out to the body
  • through sweat, helps to regulate body temperature during exercise
