The importance of water

Why Do We Need Water? 

As a whole, our bodies are as much as 60% water — which makes a pretty strong case for its important role in our biology. What’s even more fascinating is how much water is present in the individual organs of our bodies. Water plays an important role in the proper functioning of our body parts as well. For instance, did you know that blood is about 92% water, brain is made up of 75% water, and even bones are as much as 31% water?
