How Much Do You Know About the Importance of Drinking Water?

You've probably heard the phrase “the human body is 75% water” many times. But you might find it interesting to know that water makes up:

• 75% of the human brain
• 90% of the lungs
• 80% of the skin
• 85% of the blood
• 75% of the muscles
• 24% of the bones

This is exactly what makes drinking enough water throughout the day so important. Drinking water helps the body absorb vitamins and minerals and plays an essential role in converting food into energy. Drinking enough water (eight glasses a day) can help you have healthier-looking skin and ensure your body's other functions work properly. When we talk about the importance of drinking water, we mean plain water — not sugary drinks, carbonated beverages, caffeinated drinks, or tea.
