Why do we drink water?

We drink water because our body cannot survive without it. Almost 70% of our body is made up of water. It helps in digesting food, carrying nutrients to all parts of the body, and removing waste through sweat and urine. When we feel thirsty, it is our body telling us it needs water. Water also keeps our skin healthy and our body temperature normal. If we don’t drink enough water, we feel tired, dizzy, and unwell. That’s why doctors and teachers often tell us to drink 6–8 glasses of clean water every day to stay healthy.
