BENEFITS OF WATER IN THE BODY
It may seem strange to include water as a food class, but water acts as an essential solvent for chemicals in the cells, rids the body of waste and helps regulate body temperature. Drinking water is important, but you also get lots of water from fresh food.
Most people are familiar with the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy. Another way to categorize food is by the type of nutrient it contains and its role in the body. A nutrient is a compound your body needs for energy, growth, basic physiological processes and overall health. Many foods can be placed in several classes. An apple, for instance, is a carbohydrate and a rich source of vitamins, minerals and water.
To function properly, all the cells and organs of the body need water.
Here are some reasons our body needs water:
1. It Lubricates The Joints
Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the joints' shock-absorbing ability, leading to joint pain.

Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean. Consumed instead of sweetened beverages, it can also reduce tooth decay.

5. It Cushions The Brain, Spinal Cord, And Other Sensitive Tissues
Dehydration can affect brain structure and function. It is also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.
6. It Regulates Body Temperature
Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin's surface as sweat when the body heats up. As it evaporates, it cools the body. In sport.
Some scientists have suggested that when there is too little water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to tolerate heat strain.
Having a lot of water in the body may reduce physical strain if heat stress occurs during exercise. Water is also involved in digestion, blood pressure, kidney function, airway function and assistance with alcoholic hangovers etcz
