What is water?Show answer
Water makes up around 50 to 70 per cent of body weight. It transports nutrients and wastes, regulates body temperature through sweating, lubricates joints and is the medium for almost every chemical reaction in the body. Even mild dehydration reduces concentration and physical performance; severe dehydration is life-threatening.
