Water: Meeting Your Daily Fluid Needs

Water is essential for every tissue, cell, and organ in your body.  Water helps your body with the following:

• Keeps its temperature normal.
• Lubricates and cushions your joints.
• Protects your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.
• Gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements.

For detailed information on your fluid needs and how to meet them go to the CDC's page on

healthy hydration.
