Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to the organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.
If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 % of your water may come from the foods you eat.
Water is the best source for your daily fluid needs. Other good beverages include milk, herbal teas, 100% fruit and vegetable juices.
Soft drinks will also count towards your daily total of fluids. Remember, sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fruit juices do add extra calories to your daily diet.
