Water

The body and the blood are largely made of water. Therefore, we need a lot of fluid to function well.

Water is used in every area of our body, the cells, organs, tissues, etc. The body uses water to regulate its temperature and maintain its functions. Water is used in the body when we sweat, urinate and also when there is bowel movement. During sweating, breathing and digestion, the body looses water, therefore there is a need to replenish the lost fluid.

It is important to rehydrate the body by drinking fluids and taking foods that contain water, because you need enough water to avoid constipation, to have a healthy stool and generally have a healthy body.
