Why Hydration Is So Important
The human body is made up of approximately 60% water. This water is involved in nearly every bodily process, including temperature regulation, digestion, nutrient transport, and waste removal. When the body lacks sufficient fluids, these processes become less efficient.
Proper hydration also supports healthy skin, joint lubrication, and cardiovascular function.
