Role Of Water

Maintaining a healthy hydration means anticipating dehydration and consuming the minimum recommended level of water.

Water plays a variety of roles within the human body, with the main functions being nutrient distribution, waste carrier, body temperature regulation, and lubrication. Each function of water is important to stay healthy. However, more attention must be paid to water levels in body during exercise or in hot weather, where water loss is accelerated.

Function of water in human body:

Cell Life: Water is essential for cells to function properly: It enters into their composition.

Body Temperature Regulation:Water enables the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature.

Transport of Nutrients: Water as a main constituent of blood contributes to the transport of nutrients to the cells.

Chemical & Metabolic Reactions: Water participates in the biochemical breakdown of what we eat.

Removal of Waste: Water, as a carrier, also helps removing waste products through urines.

So, there are at least three organs working on cleaning it up:

 The two kidneys and the liver.

The Kidneys function primarily as sophisticated filters. As long as things are kept wet enough, they are able to remove waste from the blood by osmosis. This waste may be further treated, and is eventually sent to the bladder for excretion out of the body.

The Liver is a much more complex organ capable of advanced-level functions. It actually converts a lot of waste products into usable substances again. It can also break down molecules that cannot be filtered by the kidneys. Almost all energy conversions taking place in your body are centered around the liver. The kidneys primarily need water to function – they need to be wetter than your blood.
