Water

Water provides no food energy, but most of the other nutrients essential to life can be used by the human body only because of their reaction with water. Water constitutes the majority of the body weight and provides the medium in which the other nutrients function. In addition: 1. Water provides the essential building material for cell protoplasm, the essence of all living matter. 2. Because water cannot be compressed, it serves to protect key body tissues such as the brain and spinal cord. 3. Water helps to maintain proper electrolyte balance in the body, which in turn leads to proper cell functioning. 4. Water conveys oxygen, nutrients, honnones, and other compounds to the cells for use, and carrries waste products from the cells to the lungs and kidneys for proper excretion. 5. Water is essential for the proper functioning of all our senses. 6. Water plays an extremely important role in regulating body temperature. It is a key contributor in dissipating excess body heat.
