Water is essential for the body's chemical reactions and transport of nutrients and waste. It enters the body through drinking and food, and is lost through breathing, sweating, urine, diarrhea and vomiting. Dehydration can be dangerous and lead to health issues. It is important to drink enough water daily, especially with exercise or illness, to replenish what is lost and avoid dehydration. Staying hydrated provides many benefits such as flushing out toxins, moisturizing skin and organs, regulating appetite, and boosting the immune system.

1. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER IN THE BODY
(HYDRATION )

2. WHAT IS THE WATER?
 Water is the means by which communication between
the various cells that form tissues is established. The
enzymes responsible for the production of energy and
synthesis of the various substances continuously
required by the body , can not operate without the
presence of water . All these chemical reactions take
place between dissolved either in surface boundaries
that are suspended in the water products.

3. ENTERS AS WATER IN OUR BODIES
 Through its own intake .
 This is also found in some foods intake .
 Our body also synthesizes water by chemical oxidation
reactions ( 150-250 ml per day ) .

4. COMO PIERDE AGUA NUESTRO
ORGANISMO (DESHIDRATACIÓN)
 It depends on the outside temperature
 By breathing ( water loss is much greater, the less
moisture in the environment )
 With physical exercise
 Presence of fever
 Through urine or sweat
 By diarrhea or vomiting ( intestinal these losses can be
so large that they can even endanger our life )

5. HOW WE AVOID THE LOSS OF
WATER
 The skin is a barrier that prevents dehydration , so
when there is extensive burns , the danger of
dehydration is very large, since they can lose up to 4 or
5 liters of water in 24 hours.
 They need to eat every day about 800 ml of water,
although renal function act normally.
 You should drink at least 1,500 ml per day , and
increase this amount if there is proportionally
increased sweating.

6. THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
 The dehydration rate is higher than the rate of hydration , so you
should start the exercise perfectly well hydrated and keep drinking
constantly during it.
Be should drink to avoid thirst, not to quench the thirst !

7. BENEFITS OF WATER IN THE BODY
 Eliminates toxins and body waste by allowing proper work of the
kidneys .
 Moisturizes, cleans and maintains the elasticity of the skin, especially
15 days after starting to take daily between 1 and 2 liters of water.
 Clearly stimulates proper metabolic functioning .
 Moisturizes the body , preventing the organs , therefore, from rubbing
together .
 It is useful to regulate appetite and thus weight loss by providing
satiety.
 Prevents chronic constipation.
 Elevates the natural defenses of our body.
 Prevents infections .
 It is able to lubricate joints , thus improving the resistance of the
ligaments and muscles.
