Water is an essential nutrient that the body needs.

Because of easy access we take water for granted and do not realize the importance of proper hydration.

According to experts, water is ranked second only to oxygen as essential for life.

Your overall body weight is 2/3 water.

A person can survive for long periods of time without food, but only a few days without water.

Water is the most abundant ingredient in the human body through all phases of growth and development.

* Every system in your body depends on water to function.

Water is essential to your body's temperature regulation, keeping it cool through perspiration.


Water flushes out excess sodium, toxins and wastes.


Water is a major component of blood which carries nutrients and oxygen to and from all cells.


Water provides a moist environment for all body tissues. It is the major component of saliva and mucous which lubricates the membranes that line our digestive system beginning with the mouth. Mucous membranes in the nose and eyes function better when well hydrated.


Water cushions joints and protects tissues and organs like the brain from shock and damage.


Water helps maintain a healthy weight. It is hard to distinguish between hunger and thirst. If you feel hungry, drink some water first and then reassess your hunger status.

Couldn't agree more with this post... I think water intake is one of the biggest factors any newbie should understand when wanting to get fit... Start with drinking a good gallon a day and increase accordingly...

As AJ said is is essential for BBers and I will say as a Martial Artist it is bar none the most imparitive thing we can put in our bodies, or else we get dehydrated and training will take a dump really fast...

Flushing of the toxins and getting a good clean sweat are a huge necessity in any form of training and I believe all athletes should make water a key priority within their diet and training without question...

This is a great post...
