Water is the single most important nutrient for our bodies, it is involved in every function of our bodies, you can live 5-7 days without food, but the average adult can last no more than 5 days without water.

Your  body is made up of about 70% water, our muscles about 75% water, our brain cells about 85% water, our blood about 82% water, even our BONES are approximately 25% water. You lose about 2.5 litres of water a day through perspiration, urination and exhalation, and if you aren’t drinking enough your mildly dehydrated state will leave you with various symptoms that can include like headaches, joint pain and hunger.  

Before going ahead and snacking, make sure you have a glass of water first and wait for 5 minutes, it is quite often not food that your body requires but a simply a drink of water.
