Did you know that 60% of our bodies are made up of water? But every day, our bodies evacuate several litres of water (around 2 or 2.5 litres) through urine, perspiration and even breathing. In addition, the human body does not store water. It is therefore essential to compensate for these losses with good hydration in order to maintain optimal functioning of the body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t To live!

It allows the transport of oxygen to the muscles and brain.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The kidneys are the filters in our body and are responsible for the production of urine. The blood filtered by the kidneys is thus cleaned and the undesirable elements (toxins, metabolic waste, etc.) are removed from the body through urine. Urine contains not only blood waste but also, and above all, water waste. Through the action of the kidneys, our bladder drains around 1.5 L of urine (composed of 90% water) per day. A loss that needs to be compensated!<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Water also helps regulate our body temperature. It must be between 36.1\u00b0 and 37.8\u00b0.\u00a0 But when it’s too hot, during physical exertion or a fevery episode, the body temperature rises. It is perspiration, and therefore the water present in the body, that will regulate this excess, cooling the body and therefore regulating the temperature.<\/p> And if there’s sweat, there should be hydration! This is why you need to hydrate even more in the summer or during physical activity.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhy should you drink water? <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
