3 Essentials of Life

1. AIR - We know we cannot live without air

2. FOOD - We know we must eat to survive

3. WATER - But we ignore the importance of water

Water is the most important of all. Enjoy water, the source of well-being!. Water is the most essential element for our body:-

70% of our body is water
75% of our heart and muscle, 83% of our brain, 86% of our lungs..... are made up of water.

We need 2 to 2.5 liters of water per day to fully satisfy the physiological needs of the body. The water in our bodies must be continuously replenished. On average, our bodies lose 600ml of water daily through breathing, 500ml through our skin, and 1400ml through urination. About 2500ml of water is necessary for every day of our life. We take in approx. 500ml of water daily through food, but we still needs 2000ml more, which we can only get by drinking water.
