Water for Good Health
>> Oct 13, 2010
Drinking water is very significant for good health. Our body needs water to control body temperature and to supply the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs. Water also brings oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.
How much water do we need to drink? A good estimation is to take our body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That presents the number of ounces of water per day that we need to drink. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water every day.

Twenty percent of our water need will originate from the foods we eat. The rest of our water need should come from the beverages we drink. Water is the best choice.
