The Importance of Drinking Water

How much do you drink water today? Water is often considered insignificant but behind it all, it turns out that
water has important functions for our body. There are several reasons why you should drink enough water.
Firstly, interstitial fluid is obtained by drinking lots of water. Water is used by the body to digest food and help
transport nutrients throughout the body. In addition, interstitial fluid is also useful for producing saliva and
regulating body temperature.

moisturize our skin. It makes our skin feel fresh, soft, bright and smooth.

concentrate more and unlease the nervous system in the brain. In conclusion, drinking water is important
