Why is hydration important?

Answer 1

hydration in important because of the need of water our body has. water is a vital nutrient in for our body because it helps to keep the body temperature down, reducing sweating and dehydration, aids the passage of food through the digestive system, and serves as a transport mechanism in the body by carrying nutrients, waste products and internal secretions. water makes up most of our total body weight, around 50-60%. so it is vital we keep hydrated, and this doesn't mean only drinking water when thirsty, because by the time we are thirsty we are already dehydrated. and sometimes when we feel hungry it might be that this can mean that your body is asking for water beause it's dehydrated. water can be lost very easily from our bidy in form of urine, faeces, evaporation from the skin and expired breath. when water loss is high it's called dehydration.
