Water is the most abundant element of the body and comprises 50-70% of total body weight. This percentage decreases with age and also varies inversely with the percentage of body fat.

Water helps regulate and maintain your body temperature, transports nutrients and oxygen, removes waste products, and moistens your mouth, eyes, nose, hair, skin, joints, and digestive tract.
