Along with air, the most essential element for survival is water. People have been known to survive for more than a month without food, but go without water for a day and you’re in dire straits. Quite simply, without water intake we will die.
About two-thirds of a man’s body weight and just over half of a woman’s body weight is water. Because women have a higher percentage of fat than men it is essential that they keep hydrated because fat contains less water than lean body tissue.
Medical researchers tell us that up to 75% of all adults suffer from mild or chronic dehydration and that it has seriously adverse effects on weight as well as general health. Obese people have a lower percentage of water than slim people. One of the simplest ways to shed some of those unwanted pounds is to drink more water.
