ENOUGH WATER
Around 60 per cent of an adult’s total body weight consists of water. In a newborn infant, the water content is even higher, amounting to 75 percent of its total weight. Since water is the body’s official transport system, its adequate amount is very important. Every life-giving element contained in the blood such as oxygen, food nutrients and special substances such as hormones could never reach their destination without water. In addition, waste products of metabolism could not be eliminated and will build-up in the body. In fact, without water one could not breathe. Before oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass in and out of the blood, respectively, they must first dissolve in thin film of water that lines each air sac in the lungs.
