It is said that your body can go weeks without food, but only days without water. At birth, your body contains about 90% water. As you mature into adulthood, this drops to about 70%, but most people are only about 50% water in their advanced years. This makes water the most essential component to your life and reflects how aging is largely a process of dehydration.
Water is essential to regulate body temperature, cushion and protect vital organs, aid in digestion, and transport vital nutrients and oxygen to every cell in your body. Proper hydration also helps remove dangerous toxins from your body that are absorbed with the air you breathe, the food you eat, and the liquids you drink.
