    stay hydrated is important.

    amount of fluid to be healthy.

    Water in the diet

    • it acts as a lubricant for joints and eyes;
    • it is the main component of saliva;
    • it helps get rid of waste;
    • it helps regulate body temperature.

    The body loses water all the time, when we go to the toilet, from sweat and also
    evaporation from skin. If we do not consume enough water, we become dehydrated.

    Sources of water

    Water is provided by food such as soups, yogurts, fruit


    and vegetables, as well as drinks such as milk and juice.

    consumed is from food (e.g. soups, yogurt, fruit and
    vegetables), while 80% is from drinks (e.g. water, milk
    and fruit juice).
