1 \u2013 Water is absolutely essential to the human body\u2019s survival. Water is involved in all bodily functions: digestion , assimilation , elimination , respiration , maintaining temperature and the strength of all bodily structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 \u2013 Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 \u2013 Water leads to increased energy levels. The most common cause of daytime fatigue is actually mild dehydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 \u2013 Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers , including colon cancer , bladder cancer , and breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 \u2013 For a majority of sufferers , drinking water can significantly reduce joint and back pain. Water can prevent and alleviate headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 \u2013 Water leads to overall greater health by flushing out wastes and bacteria that can cause disease. Water prevents constipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 \u2013 Water naturally moisturizes skin and ensures proper cellular formation underneath layers of skin to give it a healthy and glowing appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8 \u2013 Water is the primary mode of transportation for all nutrients in the body and is essential for proper circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9 \u2013 Water regulates the temperature of the human body. If you have caught a fever you should drink lots of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10 \u2013 Water is the only substance that is found naturally on earth in three forms: liquid , gas , solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11 \u2013 Water makes up 60 to 70 per cent (by weight) of all living organisms and is essential for photosynthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 \u2013 Water is unique in that it can absorb enormous amounts of heat without a large alteration in its temperature. Its heat absorption level is about ten times as great as steel. During the day , the earth\u2019s bodies of water rapidly soak up enormous amounts of heat; thus , the earth stays fairly cool. At night , they release the vast amounts of heat that they absorbed during the day , which , combined with atmospheric effects , keeps most of the surface from freezing solid at night. If it were not for the tremendous amounts of water on the earth , far greater day and night temperature variations would exist. Many parts of the surface would be hot enough to boil water during the day , and the same parts would be cold enough to freeze water at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14 \u2013 How water provides all these properties are extraordinarily complex , and incompletely understood , but only emphasizes the importance of water to every organism on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15 \u2013 Every single life form on earth from the single celled organism through the most complex organisms relies on water for sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16 \u2013 Water is used to clean things \u2013 everything from our dinner plates to our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17 \u2013 Water is used as temperature control both for our bodies as well as our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18 \u2013 Water , when boiled , can kill the bacteria and other harmful agents found on food or plates. This is the only way to make sure that something is completely clean and safe for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19 \u2013 Without it , there would be no vegetation on land , no oxygen for animals to breathe and the planet would look entirely different than it does today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
