Water makes up about 60% of the human body and plays a role in nearly every bodily function. From keeping our skin glowing to supporting vital organs, staying hydrated is one of the simplest and most powerful things we can do for our health.

Why Hydration Matters

• Regulates Body Temperature: Whether you're exercising or just out on a hot day, your body relies on sweating to cool down. Staying hydrated ensures this cooling system works properly.

• Supports Digestion and Nutrient Absorption: Water is essential for breaking down food and helping your body absorb nutrients effectively.

• Boosts Energy and Brain Function: Even mild dehydration can affect mood, concentration, and memory. Staying hydrated helps keep your brain sharp and your energy levels steady.

• Protects Joints and Tissues: Water keeps joints lubricated and supports the tissues in your body, making movement smoother and more comfortable.
