DRINKING WATER
EL ASAME ASMA
Water makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Every cell, tissue
and organ in your body needs water to work properly.
Water gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel
movements, water keeps your temperature normal, and water lubricates
your joints.
Water is also critical for your heart health. Your heart is constantly
working, pumping about 2000 gallons of blood a day.
By staying hydrated, that is, by drinking more water than you are losing,
you are helping your heart do its job.
