Without water, nothing lives. Water is the main source of energy, generating electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell of the body. Comparative shortage of water first suppresses and eventually kills some aspect of the body. The human body has no stored water to draw on during dehydration, which is why you must drink water regularly and throughout the day.

Here are 10 reasons why your body needs water everyday:

1. Water prevents DNA damage and makes its repair mechanisms more efficient; less abnormal DNA is made

2. Water increases greatly the efficiency of the immune system in the bone marrow, where the immune system is formed including its efficiency against cancer and infections

3. Water is the main solvent for all foods, vitamins and minerals. It is used on the breakdown of food into smaller particles and their eventual metabolism and assimilation. These food particles are then able to supply the body with energy during digestion

4. Water increases the efficiency of red blood cells in collecting oxygen in the lungs. When it reaches a cell, it brings oxygen and takes the waste gases to the lungs for disposal

5. When the body is dehydrated, deposits of toxic sediments can be found in the tissue spaces, joints, kidneys, liver, brain and skin. Water helps to clear these toxic wastes by taking them to the liver and kidneys for disposal

6. Water is the main lubricant in the joints and helps prevents arthritis and back pain. Water is used in the spinal discs to make them "shock-absorbing water cushions"

7. Water helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by preventing clogging of arteries in the heart and the brain

8. Water gives us power and electrical energy for all brain functions, most especially thinking. It is directly needed for the efficient manufacture of all neuro-transmitters and hormones made by the brain, including melatonin

9. Are you stressed, anxious, depressed or hungover after a night out of binge drinking? Then drink more water. It is a better pick-me-up than any other beverage in the world with no side effects

10. Finally, water makes the skin smoother and helps decrease the effects of aging.
