The Importance of Water

An average adult body holds about 12 to 15 gallons of water.

So where’s the water?

Most of the volume of cells and bodily fluid is water.

Generally speaking, most of our water is allocated as such:

• Plasma (blood) is 90% water
• Brain is 75% water
• Muscle 75% water
• Lungs are 70–80% water
• Skin is 64% water
• Fat is 20% water

Now water has a lot of roles in the body

In the context of weight and metabolism, water plays a significant role:

• Water helps our body to flush waste (detox).
• Water is needed by our brains to make hormones. We need healthy thyroid function for a healthy metabolism.
• Water also helps to transport nutrients into the cells.
