Water is very important for your body. More than half of your body is water! But how much water do you need every day?
Water helps your body in many ways. Your blood is mostly water, and it carries food and oxygen to every part of your body. Water also keeps you cool on hot days. Without water, a person can live only a few days.
Most adults need about two liters of water every day. But not all of it comes from drinks. About one fifth comes from food, like fruit, vegetables and soup.
You need more water on hot days, when you do sport and when you are ill. On these days, drink a little more than usual.
Drink a glass of water in the morning. Take a bottle of water with you when you go out. Do not wait until you are very thirsty. And try water instead of sweet drinks.
Water is cheap, easy and good for you. Why not have a glass now?
